I was out on a little trip today. At one point, I ran out of gas and wanted to find a gas station; to do this, I tapped the magnifying glass on the Android Auto unit while driving—somewhere between waypoint 3 and 4 or so—then tapped on gas stations and selected the top entry (the first suggested station). The screen immediately went black and I got an error message saying an unexpected error had occurred and the app was closed. When I restarted it afterwards (via the Android Auto unit), it froze ("App is not responding") for a while until it finally restarted. After that, the navigation seemed "messed up" (it wasn't clear to me if I was now navigating to the gas station or the original route—and whether it was starting "from the beginning" or picking up from where I actually was). The gas station search still feels somewhat unintuitive to me (why am I shown a gas station "in 23 km (!) along the route" when I actually pass several on the way, or one just a street over—not directly on the route, but it would only be a detour of maybe 500 meters?), and it apparently isn't 100% stable/reliable yet. For example, what's the best way to proceed if I want to find the nearest gas station while navigating on the highway (where stations are rare and absurdly expensive): do I take the next possible exit and only then search for a nearby station using the AA display > magnifying glass > gas station? Aside from the crash and the known "spinning while standing" problem, which will hopefully be fixed soon (I think that was also the main reason for the confusion when restarting the navigation), the user interface changes (altitude display, etc.) on Android Auto are very well done! Go, Corjan & team!

@Thomas-Neumeyer, Even when it freezes like you experienced, instead of using another app you can also just restart the MRA app, is it not?

Je kan ( buiten die gaatjes ook onder en boven de draadloze zone een dun rond aluminium ( of inox ) plaatje schuiven of kleven om beter te koelen. Gebruik zelfklevende koelpasta zoals ze in computer gebruiken bij NVMeM2 SSD kaartjes. Op die ronde pastille kleef je dan een echte koelvin, weerom met zelfklevende koelpasta. Misschien een gek zicht, maar het koelt ! [image: 1779699672213-scherm-afbeelding-2026-05-25-om-10.53.47.png] [image: 1779699759668-img_0139-resized.jpg] [image: 1779699762181-img_0140-resized.jpg]

I think the red bar is showing North and all is correct, am I wrong? [image: 1779799212376-2026-05-26_14h37_46.jpg]

@Leike-Lodiers, Met een truck heb je een lagere snelheid, dus is de kans dat de omweg niet sneller is groter. Dat is niet raar, maar wiskunde

@Con-Hennekens As I mentioned in my previous post last week, we discussed this issue extensively in this forum, and no one mentioned that it was an inherent problem with Here. In fact, I personally was unaware until you mentioned it that the problem stemmed from Here and its behavior. I was already wondering why the only solution was to zoom out and manually skip points to the next real point on your pre-designed route. In that case, let's hope Here corrects this issue and the improvement can be implemented in future versions of MRA.

i do not use AI... the fun is half to play arround with routes and then try to find solution for navigation. it can be use off a lot of shaping points or use OSM but then use a OSM navigation app. sometimes i just use a track and then also NN but with some tracks it is better to use other app. i never use google maps for planned routes. for planned routes i use NN, Comaps(track), osmand (osm) and komoot for walking or bike. i am now also looking at bmaps, android app working alone with tracks and osm maps. As long as Here maps are supports the roads i use NN. If road support is better in OSM then i plan in OSM and export track to what ever i like to use.

@Rob2209-0 Niet van wakker liggen en dan lekker 2km verderop starten

I created a small route today with Via and shaping points, everything worked well, it showed altitude and fuel stations along the route, this was on AA and in the car I have not used it yet on the bike but first impressions, its fantastic

@ginogino ((If, instead, you start it from the app outside of Android Auto by activating the "Start from nearest waypoint" and "Use current location" options, navigation will correctly start from the nearest waypoint, which is in the direction of the route's end.)) I'm sorry, I disagree with my opinion about this part of your answer. Last week we were discussing this point in another post on this forum... and it was concluded after much discussion that in both iOS and Android, if you activate the boxes you mention, you will indeed go to the nearest point on your route (but the nearest point isn't always in the direction of the route's end). Sometimes the nearest point is very close to you (but behind you), and therefore you will go backward on your route and not towards its end... (I suggested this as an idea if it might be of interest for future updates of the navigation app)... but the only solution offered to me was that I had to manually navigate through the previous waypoints or zoom out and go directly to the next point towards the end of the route) Both solutions don't convince me. Normally, a browser should redirect only from your position to the next point (not to a previous one you've already passed) simply because it's closer.

With my s26+ in combination with Carpuride, I ran into an issue. I asked via voice to navigate home. It did create some routes. But t then it hung up on me. The circle kept turning. Shutting the app on phone did not help. I had to completely power down the carpuride, so power down bike. Wait for at least 10 seconds before I got it to work again. Later try did work (Seem to be unable to upload pictures even though they are below limit)

@Nigel-Jameson said: I have apple maps app but it seems a bit counter productive to get stuck with MRA then have to switch apps to navigate me from the road closure. Actually it is not... Google and Apple are constantly tracing their users, and they can deduct closures from their movements. MRA nor HERE do evil things like that

@JWeetje said: I use different themes to get different colors and thickness of the roads. If MRA can give me that on the T835X, we might have a deal. There are a few presets you can choose from, but there is no customization possible in MRA.

@Stanisław I totally agree. It's simply the most logical thing to do: check the gas stations along my route, and if I don't see them (because there aren't any), then if there are any, I'll look for the nearest POI using MRA's POIs. What I don't want is to deviate from my route when there are already gas stations along it, even if they're a few kilometers further on.

@Peter-Zehentreiter, I read "expect" there, not "promise" ...

How on earth does battery optimisation influence this? Could you share what setting caused the issue? Because in my opinion this is something Android definitely should not impact.

Offline usage of favorites is fixed in the next update
