    Also tested battery drain this morning on my OnePlus 6T with Android 11 and MRA Next 3.2.8-150 installed. A half hour 25 km tour (no tracking) dropped the battery level with 9% without charging.

      @Mopetenpit @Arno-0 Now that’s a significant different between you two. I would like to say that the Android experience is more or less reasonable battery consumption. The iOS usage is however more than you would expect.

            Today no navigation, but onbly tracking a route by bycicle. Let the screenshots speak for itself.

            Started tracking at 96% battery capacity. Distance 15km; time 40minutes.
            IMG_5987.jpeg

            Halfway, 1% background activity
            IMG_5988.jpeg

            After 30km's end of tracking. 90 minutes pause in between two trackings and only 3% use of background activity.
            IMG_5989.jpeg

            Batterycondition is 100%.
            IMG_5990.jpeg

            Looks good so far. Resumé: tracked with the app for 90 minutes and stood on standby for 90 minutes.

                Première sortie à moto avec la version beta :

                Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G - Android 13 Batterie 4.500 mAh
                Version beta 3.2.8 - 150

                1° sans alimentation du smartphone
                Démarrage à 10h à 100% avec uniquement un itinéraire + suivi + Bluetooth écouteurs : Batterie vide (0%) à 12h !!!

                2° Essai avec alimentation :
                Démarrage à 14h30, batterie à 58% avec uniquement itinéraire + bluetooth écouteurs : Batterie à 44% à 15h30

                Effectivement, la batterie se vide à une vitesse VV' alors qu'en utilisation normale, la batterie tient plus de 2 jours.

                Je suis certain de ne pas tenir toute une journée malgré l'alimentation 12V.
                C'est un réel problème que je n'avais pas avec la version MRA Navigation.

                Bon travail et bonne continuation, on compte sur vous

                    @Corjan-Meijerink Just been on a run today with my iPhone 8 Plus (iOS 16.3.1) and there was no drain on battery whilst tracking, navigating and screen recording. Indeed, the charge increased to 100% as the ride went on. I was using a cable from auxiliary socket to the Lightning Port to charge and i will check wireless charge performance on the bike next time I am out on it. No issues with drain from my perspective.

                    Kind Regards. Help where I can.

                      @Dave-J-0 Thanks for confirming another side of this issue! I just drove for 45 minutes with full screen brightness, tracking on and using the nee navigation.

                      Battery usage was 15% which is pretty decent. When using Google Maps this morning during a 35 minute ride, the battery usage was 11% which is very similar.

                      My device is an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

                        Indeed that sounds acceptable! I don't mind the battery use when not charging. But when charging there should still be a positive charge, else the risk of running out of battery during a ride is too high. That should not be the case, right?

                        Since January 2024 I started recording some of my rides commuting and touring the R1200RT in The Netherlands:

                            @Corjan-Meijerink here my battery usage today. Used MRA between 7:30 and 9 and 4:30 and 6. My battery doesn’t like cold weather and this morning was ccccolddd (1 degree Celsius and fog). I think this is ok. My phone (iPhone 7) is always on the charger when driving. I do have background location set to “when using app” because I noticed several crashes when not even using MRA and quite some battery usage. 497DC53A-C653-4462-8CA4-303DD2ABD150.png

                                      @Corjan-Meijerink Thanks for pointing me to that post!

                                      Since January 2024 I started recording some of my rides commuting and touring the R1200RT in The Netherlands:

                                        @Rolf-Aalders Today riding with the MyRoute-app,battery was 88% and my iPhone 13 mini in the usb socket for voltage…….2 hours later the battery was 35% procent and still dropping…. So with the Navigation on the battery is draining verg fast even in usb socket . Than i turned Navigation off and close the app and battery was in 1,5 hour back at 80 % …..my conclusion that i can,t use the app because of battery drainage…..
