On my Tiger I have nearly 500km range when driving without thinking about saving fuel

Really, how much fuel do you have on board?

Corjan Meijerink

@Drabslab 30 liter.

I do 4.5l / 100km on cruise control @ 100 kph.
That's not however my average driving style

But let's say that 450km is a very safe distance for me to ride without planning a fuel stop!

blimy, my KTM needs 5.6 liters per 100km with my average driving style. With a full tank, the dashboard claims that I can do 390km but that never happens

@Drabslab Nice, My Street Triple manages only 230 km or so before the light comes on. It might me my driving style.

@Corjan-Meijerink thnkx Corjan. The lane assist was not visible on the radio. At least not in the way it was on my phone

Impressive results in these new releases!
Congratulations!!

Can you please share a bit more on the battery issue on Android? I do know you're working on this with Here, but in the last months every beta release I was hoping for a fix, bit everytime I read the same: next - investigating battery issues with Here ...

A navigation app with battery issues is really not handy.. I keep needing to use Waze as a backup for the longer rides.
hope a fix is close by. Can you share your thoughts on this?

@Rolf-Aalders

I guess this is a hard one for the Dev’s due to the multiplicity of Android Devices being used.
Personally I have never had any issues on my Samsung S21+.
It always gives me a positive increase whatever the battery is at currently.
I never login to the Samsung account on this phone as I suspect that all those Bixby routines running in the background would have a detrimental affect for MRA Next.

Flat Twin Therapy

@Lynchy67 yeah, I agree. This is tough. Waze, Google maps, Here, Locus maps and even Komoot all give my phone a positive charge.... So it is possible.
I prefer MRA, but cannot use it for navigation >60m due to battery drain.

Actually, only negative charge when navigating (so locus maps should not be listed here).
Using MRA to just track my rides does give a position charge.

Hoping on a fix
If I can help in any way (sharing logs, special or debuggable build, etc) please let me know.

How do you activate the POIs to see them in navigation?

POI support
Finally A feature that should have been there since day one!
The POI's that you've added in the Routeplanner are now displayed in the app too. While navigating, you can add this POI to your route by long pressing it.

Corjan Meijerink

@Jörgen Exactly as described
You only see the POI's added in the Routeplanner.
After that, if you want to actively navigate to it, long press the POI.

Con Hennekens

@Jörgen, on the planning map, enable a POI category. If you see a POI on the map, click it and click this symbol to add it to your route:

Add it as a POI (adding it as a waypoint immediately routes through it) in the next window.

This POI will be visible while driving the route, and by long-pressing it you can add it to the route.

Now you can add multiple possible lunch spots as POI to your route, and choose the most convenient one during your ride.

Jörgen

sometimes you have to take me by the hand

Thank you!

Con Hennekens

@Jörgen, you are welcome. Educational for many I think

Nick Carthew

@Jörgen There could be a problem if you choose to navigate to a POI. Your example above @Con-Hennekens highlights my point exactly. Many POIs are not positioned on the road so this could cause problems. Better to add a new route point that is correctly positioned.

Con Hennekens

@Nick-Carthew, entirely true! Corjan foresaw that too, and made pressing somewhere on the chart (the place where you are likely to park) as easy as pressing the POI itself

Rob Verhoeff

@Nick-Carthew I combine the best of both worlds: When we assume a lunch stop, I place a POI just as @Con-Hennekens does. Then, I add a viapoint (with the appropriate pause-icon) just before it and name that point after the stop. I might include some brief explanations in the notes. Additionally, within 2000 meters of that waypoint, I add a shapingpoint to ensure I receive voice instructions.

Con Hennekens

@Rob-Verhoeff, that's great for certain stops. Often where you lunch (example) will be dependent on how your tour is getting on (some are quicker than others or you needed to fix a puncture or some other unplanned stops). Then it is nice to have multiple POI for lunch along the route, but you do not want to visit all of them. The new feature shows them on the map, but does not route to them before you explicitly choose one.

The new feature

Not yet between my ears... And as far as flat tires are concerned... I've never experienced it in the 40 years that I've been driving

You are one lucky lucky man, and I want to ride in your tyre tracks forever.

You're welcome I have a brand new repairset stashed in my bike. I think it's 5 years old. Never opened it since. Ofcourse I no how to use it. Tried that a copple of years ago too.
