@Lenny-O I use an old phone that does not have a sim card for navigation. Routes Synced and maps downloaded when I have Wifi. Phone switched to "Offline" navigation. No issues at all though obviously I don't get live traffic data.

The Chigee never sends the signals to apps about the wonder wheel movement, so neither MRA nor any other app can react to you twisting the wheel. I’m not sure about Android Auto, but that’s how CarPlay works. It only communicates to the apps which buttons you’ve pressed/touched on the CarPlay screen itself. The Chigee uses the wheel to move the selection box to the button you want to “press”, then nudging the wheel “touches” the highlighted button. All MRA sees is that you “touched” that onscreen button. It never sees that you rotated the wheel.

@Mark-McDonald said: Whilst creating a route in Spain with seasonal closures ticked it takes say 6 hours but the exact same route will take 5 hours 10 minutes with seasonal closures unticked why? I can understand how it works in high alpine routes but Spain in the summer? What am I missing? The MRA is entirely dependent on the information provided by the mapmakers. HERE is a map that is also maintained by users of HERE via a special website of HERE. This information can be processed quickly or it needs some time. But before i scare you of about HERE, which map did you used to create your route? HERE, TomTom or OpenStreet Map (OSM)? Like @herman-veldhuizen said, if there is a closure and this is not marked up correctly, it can have some effect on your route. But, did you used enough waypoints as well? If you put 2 waypoints miles apart from eachother and in the online routeplanner the route you created takes 6 hours but after loading it in your navigation system or MRA Next app, he route is suddenly 5 hrs and 10min. it might be also that there is some road you did not selected to go pass it but the app uses it as a part of the route. This might have an effect of the time as well But please, provide us with a link to tat route so we can cehck it also.

@Rob-Wiltshire said: This has been a very exasperating afternoon to work this out ! , and not a great customer experience. Great app , confusing , very time confusing to work out interface' Your time would have been better spent by reading a manual. Or maybe follow the in-app introduction after having installed the app.

I work with a VPN and sometimes my laptop "thinks" it is somwhere where I might want to be. As a solution, I made 2 favorites: thuis (home) is always my startingpoint and is 100 meters from my homeaddress thuiskomst (homecoming) and is always the end of a tour and is my real homeaddress I need to clicks to add them as a waypoint.

@Lenny-O in the webplanner go to Groups > searchbar > <search string> and then search. For example your province or town or motorcycle brand. Some groups are public. You’ll find out quick enough if you can enter the group. Search for a public group with a filter isn’t possible I believe.

As far as I know the achievement will count the moment that you start a track Log in another country. So 1km would be more than enough, not much of an achievement

Zoals Nick aangeeft, kun je in de toolit de transparantie van de routelijn beïnvloeden. Ik heb hem op 60% staan en daarmee zie je de lijn voldoende goed, maar ook de onderliggende straten.

@Eric-Colón-3-0, You're welcome. You can test all that from your couch, please take that advice too, instead of fumbling with it during your trip

@Brian-McG said: When I hear this I expect the baby will be thrown out with the bath water Why would you think that? Was that also your experience with Navigation Next when it superseded "Previous"? I have full confidence! (it just takes long... )

I've found that reliable GPX import/export support matters more than the specific GPS model. A device can have great hardware, but if it handles route recalculation differently from the planner, the experience can get frustrating pretty quickly. Testing with a few of your regular routes is usually the best way to judge compatibility.

That makes sense. Average speed calculations can vary a lot depending on whether stops and delays are included, so it's good to understand how the app handles it. It helps make route timing estimates a lot more realistic.

I like many others use booking.com as well as hotel.com for all of my hotel booking. I tend to book well in advance and it just gives me that security and ease of booking. Across the years I have built up my levels to where I get some decent prices. And when I say I book in advance I am just starting to book the 9 rooms a night I will need for your trip in June 2027.

Ok, let's hear another opinion Plan your route with enough waypoints Export the route in 1.2 format Transfer the route by cable/connector/wireless with drive/whatever to your XT and place the route in the GPX map Import the route Make the track visible on the map and make it wider Set recalculation off Start the route and enjoy

MRA Basic is actually pretty decent for simple route planning once you get used to the interface. I started with the free version too, and importing/exporting GPX files covered most of what I needed at first.

Yes. You get two new routers (part 1 and part 2) split there where you want the original route to split. You can name them separately and the original route still is there under it's own name
