    please don't kill me - but its's my conviction after many painful experiences:
    If you want to navigate - take a navigation device!
    AA devices aren't navigation devices. But things like T865-X are.

    Nothing is impossible ;-)

      So home come I did a 4000km trip with one ? 😀 😀 😀
      The device is not the issue here !!
      How come Maps, Waze, TomTom, Osmand, Sygic works ... ?
      No need for a dedicated android device when you can run the apps from your pocket, only if the app you are running has issues on AA ....

          My iPhones 12 Pro Pro max and recent iPhone 12 min ( ( refurbished 200€ ) are very good devices to navigate with myRouteApp ( 5G and fast )
          For Android,I use a Carpe Iter v4C 7" ( also very good navigate with myRouteApp )
          For only offroad of dirty roads I use a Zümo XT2 in track-modus

            I don’t use Sygic myself. Just did a small Peek at there website. As far as I understand there route guidance does not cover a route like made with MRA, just simple A B driving. If you to compare it with that, be my guest. My €900 T865X covers it all but that’s a real navigation device.

            Agree on Sygic, a map made on MRA (market leader for route design IMO) will not function with Sygic (or any other AA app in my experience?) as it only works A to B, what I'm keen for is this type of interface (you can include Calimoto's as well) but using the functionality of MRA Navigation. Calimoto for example works with Apple on Carplay but again not AA. Assume AA coding is somewhat more complex or restrictive vs Apple? I'm not overly criticising MRA on their design but it could be improved upon IMO.

              @Andrew-Dickerson again I'm nog shure because I have no knowledge of Calimoto. But if that is working on iOS it must have the same traditions due to Apple and its protecting their brand

                From my point of view, Sygic is the best when it comes to Android Auto or CarPlay.
                In the last version they have added Routes support, i tried exporting a route from MRA and loading it in Sygic and it works without any issues.
                It displays advences lane guidance and next 3 fueling stations (you can actually click on the AA screen on a POI or a gas station and add it as a waypoint!)
                You can also report traffic problems, and traffic congestions are better displayed than the on Google Maps...
                So this is just an example of how many things can be implemented on Android Auto/CarPlay ...
                Lets not blame Google and Apple !

                  Its like we don't have speed limit when not following a route, or a simple record function in CarPlay.

                  I would guess fairly simple stuff but over a year since requesting, its this that really puts me off MRA as my full time app.

                    Adrian, that's interesting you're running routes ok with Sygic. What I have noticed with some older MRA routes I'd created was no waypoints on the download/Sygic upload yet new routes are pulling through (assume there must be a change with MRA programming data at some point?) Have you tried say a figure of 8 type route starting and finishing from your house - this is one type scenario I can't get to work - also is that the Motorcycle addon you're running with Sygic?

                      @Andrew-Dickerson Yes, I’ve tried running routes on Sygic using Android Auto on my motorcycle with the Chigee AIO-5, and it worked flawlessly. I'm not sure how well it handles figure-eight-style routes, but in general, the app performs perfectly. I really like it for all the features it offers through Android Auto.
                      That said, my personal favorite is still OsmAnd—it brought me back safely from my Swiss Alps tour, and its full feature pack is hard to beat.

                        @Andrew-Dickerson it all depends on Google and Apple. When they finaly give in, things could change. As long as they are in charge, nothing will happen

                        @Marinus-van-Deudekom that's not entirely true.
                        Yes, they have restrictions but that's not the whole truth 🙂

                          We are still also working on the Android Auto stability.
                          Obviously, it's also where to focus your energy.

                          Android Auto needs to function better and we are working on that.
                          Some things are just hard to fix / reproduce given the wide range of devices (being both the Android phone and the Android Auto device).

                          The list of MRA features on Android Auto is indeed rather limited but works extremely nice if you still have your phone somewhere. We do intend to expand the features directly on Android Auto.
