    Fantastic update, and impressively fast after the 5.1 release! Will the POI management features be coming to the online route planner soon as well?

      @CD130, for now the web-POI-features are completely independent from the app-POI-features. It is wise to disable all permanently enabled web-POI-categories, and start using the app for that. Enabled categories in the web-planner will still show on the map, but cannot be disabled from the app (they will simply not show as enabled in the app, but still be visible by the setting in the web).

      I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

      Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

            Hi everyone! 👋

            I'm off on a trip to the UK in 20 hours 🙂 And I'll be away for 2 weeks.
            Please don't expect any responses from me personally. If I do respond, my wife won't be amused.

            That said, I've been working my ass off to provide a very big update!
            Because of my holiday, this is a public announcement but we still need to do Beta testing.
            To all beta testers: please provide feedback as always (in the closed group) but if it's all minor feedback we won't delay public release. If critical issues are found preventing a public release, we will announce that the public update is delayed 😉

            Timeline

            • Beta testing ASAP
            • Public release aimed for June 18th (give or take approval times)

            Now on to the fun stuff! 🎉

            Avoid roadblocks

            A much requested feature! Thanks for the elaborate discussion I had on the forum with some users. Especially a personal thank you to @Axel-Härtl for bringing it up. The topics can be found here and here.

            avoid_1.png

            While navigating a route, you can choose to avoid a part of the route. This has 3 flavors:

            • By waypoint
            • By distance
            • Manually adding

            When selecting by waypoint to choose the waypoint till where we need to avoid.
            The app will continue navigating towards the waypoint after that and creates a diversion for every part before that.

            Distance will be the most sensible one. Just quickly click one of the preset distances and that will be avoided. You can also select a custom distance. Obviously we try to take any skipped waypoints into account. This is a scenario where viapoints can be ignored.

            The above two always create a diversion from your current location.
            If you manually add an an avoidance you tap the route anywhere and choose if that's the beginning or end. When it's the end, you're done. Otherwise tap again to indicate the end.

            There is a distance restriction on how long the avoidance can be but that won't be a realistic use case anyway.

            avoid_2.png

            Persistent map items (favorites)

            Why aren't we showing you where your favorites are all the time?
            Now you can do so!

            favorites.png

            Simply enable the setting and your favorites are displayed all the time! 🎉 Even while navigating.

            Persistent map items (routes)

            We always stimulate users to sync all their routes. Then everything happens automatically 😏
            If you have all your routes available offline, you can now show them permanently on the map!

            Note: this feature only works for routes that are offline available. So not for unsynced routes and not for any tracklog

            routes_1.png

            Easily add all routes in a folder to your map. We will show which routes are displayed.

            routes_2.png

            You will then see them and are able to change the color for each route.
            From the menu you can remove them, open the route, remove them all or temporarily hide them all.
            The options are endless 💥

            routes_3.png

            The menu to manage your displayed routes can be found from the routes page or using the map styles. Obviously you can also add a single route to be displayed.

            This feature is very convenient for multi day trips and now mitigates one of the reasons that Garmin / TomTom users still used their navigation device.

            POI management

            Yes! Finally ❤

            pois_1.png

            Open and view your POI's directly in the app.

            pois_4.png

            Easily add any search result as POI.

            pois_2.png

            Create new groups and edit existing ones.

            pois_3.png

            And obviously you can always show these POI's on the map. Because why not 😏
            Not much more to say! Just play around yourself.

            Social media share / image generator

            social_1.png

            A deep desired feature I had myself 😃
            Every single time I completed a tracklog, I hated the fact that I could not share it properly.
            When you now save a tracklog, we automatically show this new interface where you can create an image. For all your existing routes / tracklogs, just tap the "more options" (icon top right) and away you go.

            Note: this can only be done for your own routes / tracklogs.

            Choose one of three beautiful layouts.
            Pick, shuffle or randomize your images. You can even more / zoom the images itself.
            Change the map background.
            Share away 🎉

            social_2.png

            CarPlay / Android Auto current street

            Yes, we now also show the current street name (when enabled) in CarPlay and Android Auto. We try to do this on as much resolutions as possible.

            Change avoid options while navigating

            When you are navigating, you can now change the avoid options on the fly.
            If you decide highway is allowed / disallowed, just change it immediately without needing to restart everything.

            Note: this cannot be done from CarPlay / Android Auto, left that out due to limited time

            Android altitude

            Now shows the correct value relative to sealevel.

            Minorities

            I'm looking forward too much to my vacation that I cannot really bother writing this part. We fixed some small identified issues in the 5.1 release. Added some logging to find more complex issues that still exist but generally we are extremely happy with how 5.1 performs!

            What's next

            I honestly don't know for now. I'll clear my head in the coming two weeks and think of more nice stuff ❤

            Cheers,
            Corjan

              Hi,
              I hope I checked all new features at home in simulation; there are so many. You've really done a great job there Corjan, the app is getting better and better. The list of features is unbelievable.

              The feature I've been waiting for is now live (just like the one on the TomTom Rider).

              Change avoid options while navigating
              When you are navigating, you can now change the avoid options on the fly.
              If you decide highway is allowed / disallowed, just change it immediately without needing to restart everything.

              I will now test everything on the road the coming days.

                      One thing, on Car Play/Android Auto - pressing the gas station button that shows the nearest gas station should add the station to the route on the fly as a waypoint.

                                    Voor zover ik nu na kan gaan werkt het allemaal prima. Ik ben nu op vakantie in Noorwegen. Gisteren al een mooie rit gemaakt met de laatste versie. Maar ik schat in dat de Beta versie die ik al een paar dagen heb overeenkomstig is (behalve het versienummer). En het gaat gewoon prima.
                                    Corjan en team, hartelijk dank.
                                    @corjan-meijerink Hoe was je vakantie

                                    As far as I can tell, everything is working great. I’m currently on vacation in Norway. I already took a nice drive yesterday using the latest version. But I’m guessing that the beta version I’ve had for a few days is the same (except for the version number). And it’s working just fine.
                                    Corjan and team, thank you very much.

                                      Hi everyone! 👋

                                      I'm off on a trip to the UK in 20 hours 🙂 And I'll be away for 2 weeks.
                                      Please don't expect any responses from me personally. If I do respond, my wife won't be amused.

                                      That said, I've been working my ass off to provide a very big update!
                                      Because of my holiday, this is a public announcement but we still need to do Beta testing.
                                      To all beta testers: please provide feedback as always (in the closed group) but if it's all minor feedback we won't delay public release. If critical issues are found preventing a public release, we will announce that the public update is delayed 😉

                                      Timeline

                                      • Beta testing ASAP
                                      • Public release aimed for June 18th (give or take approval times)

                                      Now on to the fun stuff! 🎉

                                      Avoid roadblocks

                                      A much requested feature! Thanks for the elaborate discussion I had on the forum with some users. Especially a personal thank you to @Axel-Härtl for bringing it up. The topics can be found here and here.

                                      avoid_1.png

                                      While navigating a route, you can choose to avoid a part of the route. This has 3 flavors:

                                      • By waypoint
                                      • By distance
                                      • Manually adding

                                      When selecting by waypoint to choose the waypoint till where we need to avoid.
                                      The app will continue navigating towards the waypoint after that and creates a diversion for every part before that.

                                      Distance will be the most sensible one. Just quickly click one of the preset distances and that will be avoided. You can also select a custom distance. Obviously we try to take any skipped waypoints into account. This is a scenario where viapoints can be ignored.

                                      The above two always create a diversion from your current location.
                                      If you manually add an an avoidance you tap the route anywhere and choose if that's the beginning or end. When it's the end, you're done. Otherwise tap again to indicate the end.

                                      There is a distance restriction on how long the avoidance can be but that won't be a realistic use case anyway.

                                      Persistent map items (favorites)

                                      Why aren't we showing you where your favorites are all the time?
                                      Now you can do so!

                                      favorites.png

                                      Simply enable the setting and your favorites are displayed all the time! 🎉 Even while navigating.

                                      Persistent map items (routes)

                                      We always stimulate users to sync all their routes. Then everything happens automatically 😏
                                      If you have all your routes available offline, you can now show them permanently on the map!

                                      Note: this feature only works for routes that are offline available. So not for unsynced routes and not for any tracklog

                                      routes_1.png

                                      Easily add all routes in a folder to your map. We will show which routes are displayed.

                                      routes_2.png

                                      You will then see them and are able to change the color for each route.
                                      From the menu you can remove them, open the route, remove them all or temporarily hide them all.
                                      The options are endless 💥

                                      routes_3.png

                                      The menu to manage your displayed routes can be found from the routes page or using the map styles. Obviously you can also add a single route to be displayed.

                                      This feature is very convenient for multi day trips and now mitigates one of the reasons that Garmin / TomTom users still used their navigation device.

                                      POI management

                                      Yes! Finally ❤

                                      pois_1.png

                                      Open and view your POI's directly in the app.

                                      pois_4.png

                                      Easily add any search result as POI.

                                      pois_2.png

                                      Create new groups and edit existing ones.

                                      pois_3.png

                                      And obviously you can always show these POI's on the map. Because why not 😏
                                      Not much more to say! Just play around yourself.

                                      Social media share / image generator

                                      social_1.png

                                      A deep desired feature I had myself 😃
                                      Every single time I completed a tracklog, I hated the fact that I could not share it properly.
                                      When you now save a tracklog, we automatically show this new interface where you can create an image. For all your existing routes / tracklogs, just tap the "more options" (icon top right) and away you go.

                                      Note: this can only be done for your own routes / tracklogs.

                                      Choose one of three beautiful layouts.
                                      Pick, shuffle or randomize your images. You can even more / zoom the images itself.
                                      Change the map background.
                                      Share away 🎉

                                      social_2.png

                                      CarPlay / Android Auto current street

                                      Yes, we now also show the current street name (when enabled) in CarPlay and Android Auto. We try to do this on as much resolutions as possible.

                                      Change avoid options while navigating

                                      When you are navigating, you can now change the avoid options on the fly.
                                      If you decide highway is allowed / disallowed, just change it immediately without needing to restart everything.

                                      Note: this cannot be done from CarPlay / Android Auto, left that out due to limited time

                                      Android altitude

                                      Now shows the correct value relative to sealevel.

                                      Minorities

                                      I'm looking forward too much to my vacation that I cannot really bother writing this part. We fixed some small identified issues in the 5.1 release. Added some logging to find more complex issues that still exist but generally we are extremely happy with how 5.1 performs!

                                      What's next

                                      I honestly don't know for now. I'll clear my head in the coming two weeks and think of more nice stuff ❤

                                      Cheers,
                                      Corjan

                                      Absolutely great work!!!
                                      Truely useful features that I know I’ll need many many times. Personally I most needed the “change route prioritization” so I could switch highway on and off dynamically. The avoid feature to bypass a section…. Yes I’ve needed that and POI management is a really nice thing to be able to do and see them permanently on the map.

                                      I hope you have the best trip and get some serious rest away from the keyboard.

                                        One thing, on Car Play/Android Auto - pressing the gas station button that shows the nearest gas station should add the station to the route on the fly as a waypoint.

                                        That's how it works in the app, but not on AA/CP, since there it is no button (prohibited) but just an info tile. The intended gas station will be the first suggestion when you go into the menu to add a gasstation.

                                        I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
