@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.

@Matt-Flaming I utilize an SP connect system with anti-vibration damper module in combination with 360 degree magnetic cable to prevent all mechanical stress on the USB connection. By doing so I have all confidence in using my regular phone as navigation as well.

If the travel Destination is special I take my Lumix with me, but a China cell phone with an crappy camera doesn't make me happy.

@Matt-Flaming Ya ofcourse these kind of engines produce significant amount of vibrations... after several cases of iPhone 10 OIS failures due to using the iphones on motorcycles, SP connect developed the antivibration module which has shown major decrease in vibrations into the phone. Yet I can understand that offroading is another thing and an secondary device seems logical... Also considering the chance for "loosing" the phone due to the ofroading.

Sorry, I don't like Apple -

I'm a fandroid guy so hate towards Apple is in place for me as well haha. Yet, after hearing about the issues I bought the damper as soon as it became available.

It is unclear from the information I have received on the new version 2.0 whether existing 1.x.x subscriptions will get the upgrade or whether it will be a completely new product, in which case what happens to my Navigation subscription which runs until Sept 2023?

@Frederick-Briggs-0 Dear Frederick, your current Navigation subscription will receive the upgrade free of charge.

You want to know whether there wille be a seperate v2 app, and if they can be used next to eachother?
Good question! -

I have bought a 3 year subscription for current version and I do not want to "stuck" with it
So if ver. 2.0 will be a separate app I would like to upgrade 1.6.6 to 2.0.
For current users upgrade will be free? Or have to pay for upgrade? -

No, Timo mentioned above already that all subscriptions will get the upgrade
So if ver. 2.0 will be a separate app I would like to upgrade 1.6.6 to 2.0.
For current users upgrade will be free? Or have to pay for upgrade?I think the questions is more like if your 1.6.6 app will be auto-upgraded to 2.0. I can imagine that not everyone is wishing to be upgraded to this very different new version without having tried it beforehand. So yes, hopefully it will be a seperate App in the appstore. But I am quite sure your license will be coupled to the same account you are using already.

I understand the confusion.
There will be no seperate app. If you have Navigation, you'll have Navigation 2.0

Was always Garmin enthusiastic but a cell phone and a SIM card can do much more than the Garmin. After all the disastrous reports about the Garmin XT I decided to drive only with cell phone. I have tried all apps through, each has its problems and I actually want to travel and not read me for hours in forums around problem solutions. MRA is relatively easy for me, although I also miss that the development is just too slow. Thousands of users who have a subscription, that would have to come together a shit lot of money to drive the development forward. Since I know a bit about outsotrcing, I don't understand why there isn't much more action. So far I have only driven on the road, can not make any statements regarding offroad. For me, the MRA app is already even offline better than my old Garmin. In September it goes to the east of Europe, 6 countries, many routes offroad. Since I am not yet convinced I will probably take my old 595 loaded with OSM as Backup. Unfortunately

In fairness to the Garmin XT, all the issues are resolved as far as I can see.
I use the Trip Planner exclusively now, I can go off the route and it will take me back to the next shaping point.
I have no need to “Display” the Track on the map to get me back on my route.
I never use Via points and I make a point of putting at least 1 shaping point on every single road I want to travel on, no matter how long the route is.
MRA assigned a developer specifically to look at the XT and both they and Garmin (Garmin Drive App) fixed it pretty rapidly. -

In that case I really hope everyone will see it as improvement, and no nasty bugs will show up.

lg Kudee@Kudee Thank you for the positive feedback. We're crunching down on getting our RoadMap item 1.2. launched on the 5th of july, which sadly means resolving a lot of longstanding subscription and payment managment issues. From that point forward we'll be blasting forward with great new features that will be announced shortly. We'll revise the Roadmap a bit to make sure more useful features for the community will be released in a shorter timespan.
@Steve-Lynch thanks for recognizing that.
@Con-Hennekens while new nasty bugs can never be avoided, if they pop up they are now more manageble than before because of our new development process. There's a BETA testing panel that has access to newer, possibly more unstable, versions as well as almost daily updates.
