Dear MRA team,
A video paints a thousand words.

I hope you're enjoying the sunshine and getting out your bikes regularly.
I've had to stop planning a 3,450 mile trip to request a feature change. I think with one of the recent updates when I try to scroll through the waypoints on my phone using the MRA extension it takes me to a waypoint. Nevermind how careful I am I can't scroll through the waypoints. Can you change it to how it previously was where clicking on a waypoint in the list would not take you to the map.
Cheers

I can't reproduce your issue on my iPhone 13. I can smoothly scroll through all the waypoints. I used a route with 180 waypoints and scrolled through them the way you described. It works perfectly for me. Have you also tried using the in-app planner directly? So without first going to the website and opening the route there?
Edit: On my S24 running Android, you do indeed have to be a bit more careful when scrolling! You're right about that. It does work, but pressing a bit too hard causes the app to open the waypoint you last touched while scrolling. Strange that I don’t have any issue with this at all on iOS.
On the other hand, when I use the in-app planner, I can scroll as much and as wildly as I want—even on Android! Would using the in-app planner be something for you to consider?

I have two very different Android phones, and both do not show this problem I see in your video. But indeed, like @Rob-Verhoeff says, why not use the in-app planner?

Hmm, there is no point in me confirming as well that my Android phone Samsung A35 does not show any of this sensitive behaviour, but I just wanted to address this cited sentence of yours.
It has always been the case, that "clicking" a waypoint from the list would direct you to the actual waypoint on the map, and successively activating the corresponding waypoint menu. That would imho be the only useful way in how this should work. Honestly, what did you expect?
Or did you perhaps chose your words in this sentence a bit ambiguously?

Now it just kinda crashes and takes me back to the map as you see in the video. I'm pretty sure I'm using the in app planner. If I access MRA on Google it takes me to the app. Not sure what has changed
My phone is a Oneplus 12. -

I have the same problem on accessing MRA route planner on GoogleAnd I have the problem on the plug in app that you access via the Web browser.
Never had this issue before.

Me too, but only on Androïd!

Try another browser?

The in-app-planner works as expacted for me.

This video was in the app via route lab tab at the bottom. Same problem

Hmmm, I definitely cannot recall this behaviour. Interesting. I remember it doing what it does "now". Yet, from what I understand it is not this jumping to the map in itself you're mostly troubled with, but rather the sensitivity of the touch interface. Not sure what to do about that other than to create a support ticket.
@JP-d said in Scrolling Through Waypoints:

I only have this behaviour when I try to open a route in an external browser. Only then the browser redirects me to the app, I can click around in routelab without redirection to the app, but as soon as I'm trying to open a route, woops, there it goes.
What works for me in preventing the "takes me to the app" when opening a route, is to force "desktop mode" on the external browser, and then longpress a routename to "open it in a new tab". This opens the route in the external browser in a new tab (duhhh
), and only by doing this, I can prevent the external browser to redirect me to the app. Hope this helps. -

I never use a laptop for route planning I do it all on my planning on my phone. So I need it to work.
I never had this issue before and have been planning on my phone for around 4 years. Hopefully more members on the forum will Android devices can send their feedback. Thanks for your feedback

I am pretty sure you don't
You are using the Route Lab function in the app, which serves you an embedded browser-view to the online web-planner. It only works with a live internet connection. The in-app planner is the one you get when you click the MRA Routeplanner button in the menu. This one works offline too, but you need a Navigation license for it, since it is based on the HERE platform.

The in app planner doesn't offer all the tools of the route lab. I don't know what has changed but hopefully with an update it will sort itself out. Really appreciate your help pal cheers

Hopefully a meneber with a Oneplus phone can give their experience. Maybe it's just my phone brand, like a recent update...

Indeed. That's the reason both options are there. The in-app planner will never offer the extra TT and OSM maps (they might offer overlay maps though). It is based on the HERE platform, just like Navigation Next, and therefore other sources are not possible or just not allowed. The thought is that mainly people who already use Navigation will have an extra tool and use HERE anyway.

wrote 16 days ago last edited by@Con-Hennekens I need the Google maps layer, I need the calculate tool. I'm planning a 15 day tour of Europe and need the waypoints list to work as it previously did. I have found that if I use a large part of my thumb to scroll it isn't as sensitive. But like I said previously even when I clicked on a waypoint in the list it would not take me the map. Now it does, so something has changed...

You are planning a 15 day tour from your phone? That is some next level dedication.

@Stefan-Hummelink yes please mate. I'd love to know if it's a Oneplus issue. Cheers

Well, I cannot confirm it to be an OnePlus issue. My OP6 is as fast as before without any issues you seem to have.
sorry dude! -
