New update! (4.4.0)

[Mzokk]

Looking forward to trying it. I had 4 days / 900 miles 1500 km round Scotland last week using Android Auto on my Honda Africa Twin Adventure sports via a Motorola Edge 40 Neo and the (last iteration) of the app was faultless including routes designed with optional loops (no via points only shaping) two of which I skipped and the app continued perfectly after the next waypoint was encountered. I still have a Garmin XT mounted on the bike but its only used for custom proximity shown POI's and I run a confirmation track of the MRA route I'm running. Many thanks. Oh and it was 27C on Mull last Friday. Most unusual!!

I use the app every day during my current 4-month trip. Last month in Iraq, I put the phone in the driving wind to cool it down. As soon as I arrived in a city with the usual congested traffic, the phone overheated and started giving a less and less clear picture until it stopped completely. Just when you need it the most. So I am very happy that the problem is found and my phone no longer overheats. To prevent overheating it also helps a little if you stop charging the battery.

ik ga morgen gelijk testen, 360km dus dat hoop ik te voltooien met mra

Vandaag uitvoerig getest. Mooi op te zien dat de blauwe lijn nu gelijk loopt. Had wel meerdere keren dat de app vastliep rondom stops. Ik maakte gebruik van CarPlay.

The battery usage is certainly improved. The phone was cooler today and less trouble to keep the battery charged. Good job.

There is an Autozoom in Android Auto. I can clearly see this on my screen. But how it works? I don't know. It looks random.
My setting is "Both" (speed and directions/crossings). Biggest complain. The crossing with a white arrow shows up in the screen only 120-140 meters before you arrive at the crossing. Too late.

The blue line and position indicator are looking good. Did not see any strange things. Smooth graphics. Good job.
There is still a clear delay in real position and position on screen. Combine this with the issue of the Auto zoom and you can understand there is an issue.

What i noticed about the delay in the position indicator compared to other navigation apps.
Other navigation apps are more on par with the real position. But when you take a wrong turn it takes those other apps a longer time before they noticed you took a wrong turn.
It seems all navigation apps have the same issues but those other apps do a more aggresive correction to keep it the indicator better on par with your real position.

Drove all day today. After 2 hours of driving 35% battery used. That is real progress. Phone stayed cool all day.

I posted my last weekend issues with app here https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/67675
In short: still "eats-up" the route and crashes (after eating enough) Some arrow drifting not able to show correct position (while Google Maps and Apple Maps all work fine).
I'm a bit frustrated as during motorcycle ride reliability is a key. Stopping and restarting navigation app it annoying. Hope you understand.

On a Samsung SE21FE battery is not impoved. Phone stil gets very hot...
Also the app stil crashes (see ticket).

[M. Schrijver]

A hot/warm phone is fairly normal when navigating. It differs per app but all phones are getting warm/hot when navigating.
But yes. MRA still uses on average still a bit more power compared to other apps. But it is a lot better than a few years ago.

Helaas, navigeren met mijn telefoon zorgt nog steeds voor een hoog batterijverbruik. Nieuwe accu, nieuwe laadpoort, nieuwe usb laadaansluiting, nieuwe laadkabel.
Voorlopig gebruik ik MRA niet meer om te navigeren tot het probleem is opgelost. Ik heb lifetime abbonement dus dat zal ooit wel gebeuren, toch?
Voorlopig is Kurviger aan zet.
Kreeg tijdens mijn vakantie in Kroatië een lekke band met de motor. Toen ik ff wilde bellen dat ik met een probleem stond en het wat later werd bleek ik nog 16% accu te hebben op m'n telefoon. Dan wordt ik toch een beetje zenuwachtig

How do I tell what version I have? Will it automatically update me? or will I at least see a prompt?

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@D-Griffin Open your account on your smartphone, scroll all the way down, and you'll see which version is currently installed.

Currently, 4.4.0-404 is the latest version Android and iOS

Updates will be installed automatically, provided you've allowed automatic app updates in the Play Store / App store

Dingen nieuw kopen is alleen een oplossing als je de juiste dingen koopt.
Gebruik je de MRA app met Carplay of Android Auto toevallig? Ik heb de indruk dat AA/CP connecties méér stroom verbruiken dan de MRA app zelf.

Een powerbank in je tanktas werkt goed tegen zenuwachtigheid

[henry van den belt]

Yep., de accu van de telefoon was al wat ouder dus vandaar laten vervangen.
Niet perse omdat ik dacht dat daar het probleem in zat. En inderdaad had ik ook nog een powerbank bij.
Maar wat ik eigenlijk wilde zeggen is dat de app nog steeds behoorlijk veel verbruikt
