The EUC World 2.64.0 update is currently waiting for review and release on Google Play. That usually takes a day or two, so there’s a good chance that by the time you’re reading this, it’s already available for download—or maybe even installed on your phone.
Pretty much every EUC World update expands the list of supported wheels, and this one is no different. This time, support has been added for two of the latest Begode models: X-Way and Falcon Pro. Huge thanks 🙌 to Marty Backe for his ongoing support 💙, which makes it possible to add new wheels so quickly. Thanks to that, as soon as new models hit the market, EUC World users can already enjoy them with their favorite app. Kudos, Marty!
But that’s not even the biggest part of this update. There are quite a few changes and new features, so I highly recommend reading the rest of this article carefully—especially since some things work a bit differently now. Also, support for older EUC World versions will be turned off in the coming days (more on that at the end). For now, let’s dive into the most important changes in version 2.64.0.
Screen swipe lock
Probably every EUC World user knows that to navigate between the app’s screens, you need to swipe left and right on the screen with your finger. This allows you to move between the main screen, the live data and statistics screen, the charts screen, the map screen, and the loading control screen. The problem is that the gestures used to switch between screens make it difficult to use the map, particularly when scrolling horizontally. Of course, it’s not impossible—to move the map left or right, you first need to swipe vertically with your finger, then, without lifting your finger from the screen, move the map horizontally. However, this is far from comfortable and often frustrating.
Good news: you can now lock screen switching gestures using the padlock button in the bottom-left corner. When the lock is active, horizontal swipes won’t switch screens, making the map much easier to use. It also helps prevent accidental, unintended screen changes.
And don’t worry—if gestures are locked, you can still switch screens by tapping the dots on the status bar at the bottom.
New maps
This is probably the most noticeable change in this update. The map screen has been completely revamped and improved. Actually, this part of the app has been completely rewritten, from scratch.
The old raster map is gone, replaced with a modern vector map. You can now choose between four styles: white, light, dark, and black. The new map also brings more detail, better rendering quality, and more useful info. Premium users will even see charging station locations!
There’s also a brand-new heatmap. It lets you see all your tours, now with much better accuracy and quality. You can even distinguish between older tours and newer ones. The new heatmap has been available for some time at https://euc.world/heatmap. Starting with this EUC World update, the heatmap’s key features are available directly within the app.
The radar map is back too, showing areas with rain and snowfall. Until recently, EUC World used radar maps provided by Rain Viewer, but some time ago the creator of Rain Viewer stopped sharing radar data with other apps, focusing instead on own weather app. Currently, radar maps are generated directly on EUC World’s servers, based on data from meteorological institutions and other available sources. At present, the map only covers part of Europe, but I will strive to gradually expand its coverage to other parts of the world. This is an extremely complex and labor-intensive task.
Now, some very important information. The map screen configuration has been moved from the app menu to a dedicated, slide-out bottom panel. To slide out the map settings panel, tap the status bar (where the time is normally displayed) and swipe up. The same gesture is used to quickly hide the panel.
With future EUC World updates, the bottom panel will also appear on other screens, making it easier to access key features and settings.
Last tour stats
You can now quickly check detailed stats for your most recent tour—average and max speed, energy consumption, battery level and voltage, power, current, temperatures, and more.
Switching between stat screens works just like switching between app screens—swipe left or right.
Garmin RearVue 820 support
This EUC World update adds support for the latest Garmin RearVue 820 rearview radar. However, if you don’t have this radar and are considering buying it, then... hold off. Really. On paper, this radar’s specs look really promising. The USB-C port lets you charge it with the same cable as your phone. A larger battery means longer runtime, and a brighter light means better visibility. Most importantly, the RearVue 820 can distinguish between small vehicles (motorcycles, bicycles, etc.), passenger cars, and large vehicles (trucks or buses). Not only that, but it can also distinguish the direction from which a vehicle is approaching. It has only one drawback—it cannot determine the speed at which a vehicle is approaching us...
And that is precisely the flaw that, in my opinion, disqualifies this device. Older radars, such as the RTL515, inform you of the speed at which the vehicle behind you is approaching, whether that speed is increasing, remaining constant, or decreasing. This allows you to assess the behavior of the driver of that vehicle. Based on changes in the pitch of the warning tone, you can easily tell whether the driver is slowing down to wait for an oncoming vehicle to pass or is preparing to overtake you. A really important info from your safety perspective, trust me.
This information is missing in the RearVue 820. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this limitation will be removed in a future firmware update. For now, however, it is worth sticking with the older, cheaper, and proven Varia series radars. The battery in these radar detectors lasts a very long time anyway, and the light is still bright enough.
Support for the Flic Duo
Flic Duo is the new version of the Flic button—and it’s a big upgrade over Flic 2. It’s basically two buttons in one, plus gesture support. That opens up a lot of new possibilities for controlling EUC World and connected devices/apps. Previously, you could pair two Flic 2 buttons for up to six actions. Now, with two Flic Duo buttons, you get up to twelve actions.
And gestures take it even further. For example both "Previous song" and "Next song" quick actions can now also skip forward/back with left/right hand movement and play/pause with up/down gesture. "Mute/unmute audio" quick action can unmute/mute with up/down gestures and decrease/increase volume with left/right gesture.
Still, even without gestures, doubling the number of actions is already a solid reason to upgrade. Plus, button press detection (single, double, hold) works much better now.
Media control
Yep—EUC World can now control media playback in apps like Spotify, YouTube, and more. All you need to do is grant notification access so the app can interact with your phone’s media controls. Then just configure quick actions. You can trigger those actions using Flic buttons, smartwatch buttons (with the companion app), Engo 2 glasses gesture sensor or even your phone screen
The app requires access to notifications because Android does not provide any other way to control playback in other apps. Information about the currently playing music and control buttons (play, pause, next track) are made available through the system’s media notifications. With this permission, EUC World can read this data and enable control over it. This access is used exclusively to support media control functions. If you do not plan to use quick actions to control media players, you can skip granting this permission to the EUC World app. Also, this permission is not required to only control media volume.
Other improvements and tweaks
There are also a bunch of UI improvements—like a cleaner main screen and a better light (day) mode. Fixes were made for BMS support in some King Song wheels, where battery level readings were incorrect after most recent firmware updates. There are also improvements to the web server and BLE server, making integration with other projects easier. And if you’re using a tire pressure monitoring system and ride aggressively—you can now disable anomaly alerts. These can sometimes trigger during sudden pressure changes (like riding over bumps, stairs, or curbs). Don’t worry—this doesn’t affect safety, since critical low-pressure alerts still work as long as you’ve configured them.
Important changes coming soon
As I develop the EUC World app, I’m also developing underlying services and accompanying apps, without which the entire EUC World project couldn’t function properly or offer new and improved features. Google isn’t sitting idle either, constantly updating Android by removing certain features, adding new ones and setting up various requirfements developer has to comply with. All of this means that I am unable to develop new versions of EUC World while simultaneously providing support for older versions. Over time, I am also forced to phase out support for older versions of Android, and consequently for older phones.
The vast majority of users are using the latest versions of EUC World. However, there are a handful who use older versions. Until now, specifically with their convenience in mind, I have tried to provide support for these older versions. However, this was very time-consuming, prone to errors, and slowed down the development of EUC World. With all this in mind, I have decided to discontinue the current support policy for older versions of the app and focus on development, supporting only the latest versions. For this reason, in the coming days, older versions of EUC World may stop working properly or stop working altogether. That’s why it’s worth preparing for this change now to avoid any unpleasant surprises in the future. I strongly encourage you to enable automatic updates for the EUC World app on Google Play. This is the easiest way to ensure you’re always using the latest version of the app. However, if you prefer to stick with manual updates, the EUC World app will notify you when a newer version is available as soon as the update is released.
