If you do it as Nick did, then you only need to add the POIs of the Hotels, B&B to make visible what you have driven per day. Every user will choose his own Hotel, B&B, Tent. In the example, the stops we made during the round trip on Skye. And you can also have these printed on a t-shirt

Thank you, @Hans-van-de-Ven-MR-MRA. I only have the Basic subscription for now so am unable to create a support ticket. However, I am also discussing this on the Zumo Users Forum. Many of the experienced Zumo users are also very familiar with MRA.

@Johnny-V-Rodgers This Route was from 2019 and I now use the colour scheme from the RouteXperts.
Blue - Just used for shaping the route.
Yellow - From the exact position of the route point, something can be seen, a castle on a hill, a waterfall on the right or a significant mountain on the horizon. Information for all coloured route points is added in the note.
Green - A place for a photo stop
Red - All other stops, fuel, coffee, lunch or to visit an attraction, route point icon used for quick recognition.
Pink - Used in conjunction with the warning icon to give warnings, could be for bad road surface, unprotected road edgings with drop off. Pink is also used for general route information, this could be to indicate a possible shortcut, or to give information about the area or town that you’re about to pass through.
All this information can be displayed on screen as scrolling text or read aloud to you when using MRA Navigation Next.
A complete game changer in my opinion.

@Con-Hennekens said in Favourites, sharing:

Yes indeed. I am sorry for the confusion.

No worries! I finally figured it out - and better understood what favourites are suitable for and where there are limitations. Thanks for sharing your workflow!

@Roundabout, I have no solution for you, but I am amazed about the suddenly increase in interest for the PDF download 😉 I have seen more than a few topics about it.

I think, having the map on top or not, is dependent on the map that is used for planning the route, but I am not sure.

@Roundabout, You can save and upload images indeed. PDF's are not considered to be pictures but documents instead, and that is not allowed. Do you know you can simply screenshot images and paste them into a message (on a Windows PC with browser anyway)? Saves you the saving part 😉

@Craig-4 first of all, your friend needs to open an account on MRA. Only after his registration you will be able to find him using his email address or his name.

I only put waypoints or shaping points on a map for one of two reasons:

There is something specific in that location I want to note; I want to force the navigation device to follow a specific route;

In the first instance the waypoint location is fixed by whatever it is that I am identifying. Before or after the junction is not my choice.

In the secomd instance it has to be after the junction or I risk the navigation device deciding on a different route to the one I want.

As I see it, the navigation device/app will give me navigation instructions. That's not the job of route planning.

@Leike-Lodiers, I think you are an IT guy? (just like me 🤣 )

@Roundabout That setting is most useful for a round tour (i.e. start and end point are the same/close together. In that case you can select a new start point, while keeping the rest of route intact. What it does is set the selected waypoint as the first waypoint, set the previous waypoint as the last waypoint and connect the original last waypoint to the original first waypoint.

For example:

After selecting point 4 above and setting it to be the start point:

It can be used with any route (doesn't have to be a round tour), but it's less likely to give a useful result when the original start and end are not close together.

@Carl-Lee

Completely agree. I've found after much consultation from our route experts that for the Zumo XT 1.1 just seems to work better.

@Greenham Normally there is a cross to close this window visible. This seems to fall away due to the green bar at the top. Do you always have that bar? Could it be that you have 2 maps on at the same time in the settings of the Garmin? That also gives all strange problems. You can only have 1 active map at a time from the same region. Yes changing the map settings you always have to restart the XT completely. Hopefully this helps 🙂

@white-mouse de ene keer doet ie het wel goed en de andere keer weer bij maken van een route.

@Laylwwa I made some long journeys - you may have a look at my blog here.
At first, I'm planning the whole journey - simply entering Via Points for all sight seeing stops, or major accomodation, etc. to see the total distance. By my many years experience, I divide the total distance trough 350 Km (for each day) = needed days in result.

Later, I decide highways, scenic roads, or offroad sections I will drive on. If more offroad, if less possible distance!
On highways (at boring areas) I plan max. 500 Km/day.
Smaller roads - with little sight seeing, or photo stops - I plan approx. 250-350 Km/day.
Offroad - with little sight seeing, or photo stops - I plan approx. 150-200 Km/day.
It depends on road type, traffic, season time, weather conditions, possible gas stations, possible accommodations, your flexibility, your capacity of pain killers, water, fuel, food, or fresh clothing.

Sometimes, I do reservation in Hotels at forefront. Advantage is: you will get what you want; which is nice and luck. Disadvantage is: you may need to hurry, if you planned a too long distance; which can be stress.
Sometimes, I do no reservation in Hotels at forefront, but try to find an accommodation just in the afternoon of a day. Advantage is: you don't need to hurry. If you are tired, stay and take a hotel. Disadvantage is: you need to take whatever you can find locally. But sometimes, there is no Hotel next to you! Or they are overbooked! Or season is over and they have closed! Which can be stress and painful.

For longer journeys (more than a week), I usually plan 1 day off (don't ride, don't walk, just relax) every 5 days!
You see: it depends on many things, but not on the app you are using for route planning or navigation 😉

@Theo-Bos
Er was iemand bezig ermee: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/7196/beeline-moto-import

Maar of het gelukt is....

Beeline is toch een eigen navigatie app/systeem? Althans, zo komt het bij mij over. Weet niet of dat apparaatje rechtstreeks werkt met de MRA app.

@BertM great ! I will download it and have a look !
Thanks !

@MyZ51, or you skip a waypoint manually by long-pressing the "next waypoint" tile.
