MRA Navigation APP

[Kudee]

@Matt-Flaming I have 1.6.10. Not Showing as Beta. Would like to test new Versions if avaiable

@Matt-Flaming
It says Beta so I will treat it as a Beta and always have a backup plan with me, the Tom Tom Rider 550

The most interesting thing in this release is the “Always place Waypoints on the Road” option.
Maybe this has been there for a while but I have just started using MRA Navigation again recently for the last month.
So in edit mode in MRA Navigation after you have created the first waypoint, all Waypoints you add thereafter are guaranteed to be exactly on the nearest Route Line.
That may well be quicker than doing it in MRA Planner as no need to fully zoom for each waypoint.
And if you create a route in MRA Navigation it does then pull into MRA Planner.
Pretty cool methinks.

For me I have had only one issue with it where I had a “figure of 8” route that had Waypoint 2 appearing twice on the route because the route came back through the same Road I started on.
It was an easy fix to just remove that particular waypoint which wasn’t even Waypoint Number 2 but was actually showing as Waypoint Number 2.

I know there are users that are having issues with it so I’m just wondering how we as a community can support those users.
I guess the issues are based on the fact that there are so many different Android variants and the different manufacturers often put there own UI version on it.
Maybe if Android users declared their Phone make and model then users on the same models could try to re-create issues that others on the same model are having.

I’m on a Samsung S10 so if any users are having issues on those then I would be happy to try to re-create any issues, share my settings etc etc etc.

@Matt-Flaming

If you want to share the route that crashed I’d be happy to try it my end on the Samsung S10. (Sort of similar)

@Matt-Flaming

Ok fair enough.

If you go back in the Play Store and look at the full description you should see plenty of Beta notices throughout.
Unless they have another version running in parallel that is not Beta.

Indeed, seems like I am using the beta after all, I never noticed it, it worked without any issues throughout the whole year.

I suppose the text in my screenshot above confirms what you are saying Matt.
“Future updates will include Beta versions.”

Gravel Roads, Here can't. OSM no Problem

Even Garmin Basecamp knows this Road. Thats a bit dissapointing for me.

Ah, so I am not in beta YET, but WILL BE as soon as they release one?

Yes, I looked it up in MRA and see the same. Also the TomTom map uses that gravel road, without a problem. On the HERE map that road is completely absent, and of course then you can't navigate it. It is a gap in the Here map.
I have difficulty in believing that Basecamp DOES show this road on the HERE map. That would implicate that the HERE map used by MRA is NOT equal to the HERE map Garmin uses, unless it is a version difference and that road has been added recently, in which case it would be interesting to know the map versions. Maybe someone from MRA can elaborate on this?

Are you sure you are not using OSM maps or some other map in Basecamp?

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

no road in basecamp

[Kudee]

@Con-Hennekens

This is Garmin Basecamp

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

wich version of the ntu card do you use?

[Kudee]

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

So there is a defference in NTU maps per country??

[Kudee]

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master
Thats verry strange. Just checked it on my secound PC, same. All Roads, no problem.

What is your Zoom Level? Highest?

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

@Kudee

yes

[Kudee]

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master too many mountains is therefore not indicated in Basecamp for Dutch people

[Hans van de Ven MR.MRA]

@Kudee Do you have your zumo connected?

[Kudee]

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master No. Only Basecamp Map installed.
