LAUNCH: Major Navigation revamp

[Nick Carthew]

@StefanHummelink Constructive criticism is not only helpful but welcomed too. My point is; for a small company MRA is (British saying) punching well above it’s weight (performing better than it should).

@Matt-Flaming I'm not enjoying the fact that you are still having such issues with the MRA Navigation app, since there's a clear discrepancy between the performance we see and the one you're getting. The 96.8% crashfree performance was in fact measured over the last version of MRA Navigation, on Android, and is the sole reason we're now daring to market it as such. It truly isn't a hollow claim. Obviously for you personally (and if you're experiencing it, no doubt other users as well) this is not the case. You have my promise that we don't treat such occurances lightly as there really, honestly, is no benefit for us to ignore it. When you have the time, I'd like to give you a call so that we can get to the bottom of what you're experiencing and how it can be resolved.

@Matt-Flaming I feel your pain and frustration but you have to realise that the vast majority of Android and iOS users are completely happy. That of course doesn’t help you and with a ticket in place I’m sure that the boffins in MRA’s dark cellar will get to the bottom of your issues. If you’re not completely satisfied I have no doubt that you could ask for and receive a full refund because that’s the type of company that MRA is.

Regarding a MRA Navigation RoadMap:

Let me clarify that the current RoadMap for MRA Navigation consists out of the following features:

• Apple CarPlay
• Roundtour Generation
• Nearby routes

After this, we're indeed planning to release a RoadMap specifically for MRA Navigation. You'll be involved right along the way, and as I said we're aiming to start that process in Fall - Winter 2021. MRA Navigation is very important to us and it does deserve it's own Roadmap. We're not going to do it head-over-heels though, as we'd want everyone to be involved there.

@Nick-Carthew Absolutely!

@Timo-Martosatiman-MRA What about VIA Points for Android? Please, just say next week my friend

[Stefan Hummelink]

@Kudee Are already implemented in V1.6.6.!

[Kudee]

@StefanHummelink I see only Sharping Points in the App on my Android Phone

[Stefan Hummelink]

@Kudee

Notice the via points in one of my routes in MRA Navigation v.1.6.6.

@Matt-Flaming I can't get it, why? !!

[Kudee]

@Matt-Flaming No. 1. Picture is Printscreen from the Web Planing Tool. 2. Picture is from my mobile App My Route App. In here it is as i should be! 3. Picture is from my Mobile as it looks on Navigation App. Any Idea friends?

@Matt-Flaming @Kudee Now I notice that this via point stuff is a bit buggy...

Previously in this thread I showed that the app is able to show via points... Yet, I open a different route with via points in it, and long and behold, no via points in MRA Nav overview. What the...

Routeplanner:

Navigation:

I thought it was bugfree... Untill now.

There seems to be a relation to the route being opened in the in built route editor though! That seems so fuckup the route in MRA nav, even though the route in routeplanner is not modified (visually)...

@StefanHummelink Thanks Stefan. I open up several planed Routes and on some Routes not even the Start and End Point are flagged as Via Points. I don't know. I'm confused a bit

[Stefan Hummelink]

@Kudee Exactly! Something's not working as it should...

[Kudee]

@StefanHummelink I hope the development team can solve this quickly as the navigation app will get new features when the season is over and Santa Claus is ringing at your door. For my type of skiing I don't need Mra

@Matt-Flaming Thanks for replying,

I've shot you another private message to clear some things up and get us working towards a solution! As I said there, I'll repeat it here, I don't mind civil discussion as I believe this in the end helps everyone get to a place where they're happy with the services they've subscribed to.

Regarding the new features:

• Carplay, roundtour generation and nearby routes are being worked on right now.
• Smaller quality-of-life features are determined on a two weekly basis and implemented on the go
• In that same period reported issues are resolved, prioritized by impact on app usage and our crash-free performance indicator
• In Fall-Winter we will start the democratic process of setting up a new roadmap. This means a mail campaign, scouring the forum for features and creating unique descriptions for each feature that are understandable to the user, setting up surveys, sending these out and creating a new roadmap based on these results.

@Timo-Martosatiman-MRA I would like to give some feedback here. Took a small tour today. The via points worked. @ Matt-Flaming, also in the navigation - route editor the via points are displayed! I suspect that via points are not always saved in the WEB planning tool. I was able to readjust yesterday. What I do not quite understand what the difference is whether I start the route in the navigation app "Navigate and track" or in "Route planning" Guess it is the same?
After driving over 2000km with MRA and mostly offline, I have to say that I love the app. For me the killer feature "route is left, Recalculation yes or no?" is the most I'm missing. I not going to buy any Garmin anymore. In terms of price, however, a waterproof cell phone is almost as expensive as a Garmin. BTW: Is someone using the Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro?

@Matt-Flaming Thank you for the valuable tips and links. I guess that! I just want to take one cell phone with me on my trip. All these China cell phones are thick and heavy, have no waterproof connections and the camera is bad. I think the Samsung Xplorer Pro will be my phone.
