      I was typing an opinion on countries like Iran, but I removed it in order to keep tis forum cosy... 😉

      I think we’re adult enough not to create a war within our forum.

      There is a big elephant in the room that hasn’t been mentioned. I truly believe that the ‘normal’ people of Iran (and other Islamic countries under sharia law) are very nice, hospitable and incredibly welcoming, but and it is a very big but for me. When the regime that is running the country treat their women as second class citizens, I’m afraid I have no interest in visiting that country.

      My brother lives in Turkey, now Turkey is a much more tolerant country that isn’t governed under sharia law, but still, the menfolk look down on their women.

      Women in Turkey obtained full political participation rights, including the right to vote and the right to run for office. But despite this ruling, Turkish women only have rights as much as their husbands or families bestow upon them. Although some of them are treated well, a good percentage suffer in silence from domestic abuse, violence, forced marriages etc.

      I travel everywhere with my wife, we haven’t visited my brother and I’m sad to say that we’re never likely to.

      Just to balance things out, I have another brother that lives in Israel and we’ll never visit that country either, but that’s for a whole different reason 😉

      Yes certainly, and I agree with the rest of your reply.
      My less-cosy statements I did NOT make were specifically NOT targeted at the ordinary people in the streets 😉

      I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

        I noted that for Iran there are only highways for planning and there is no Offline map for Iran?
        I plan to go there in 3 weeks what can I do?

        @Robert-Laudensack try Osmand ! Offline maps for Asia, it's got everything you need. Plan the route in MRA using OSM map and import the GPX 1.2 file in Odmand, including POIs !

          For off-road GURU MAPS goes very well.

            @Adrian-Avram Thanks I'll have a look into OsmAnd. My problem was more on the navigation side: I like Myroute and I am used to it. Each new different App needs some getting used to. So, the problem was that I could not download offline maps for Iran in the 1st place. My overall planning I did with myroutapp, but there were problems due to issues with the maps. In the end, Goggle was good for 95% of the navigation and then mapy.cz for the Offline lifesaving situations 🙂

                  @DANIELZ77 You can install OSM maps on a Garmin device (I did so when I went to Iran), but you can't do that on a TomTom Rider. You will have to take a look on the website of TomTom if TomTom has any maps of Iran available. I am afraid that do not have them, but I am not sure. Have a look there.

                      @DANIELZ77 Having checked my TomTom Rider (that I don't use anymore) I see a possibility to download a map of the Middle East, but there is not mentioned what it covers and the scale. Might be main roads only, try to download the specific map and check the details if it is sufficient for your needs.
