Issues since the 5.1.0-462 update / Crashes and lag
-
Yesterday I had the chance to test the 5.1 app for the first time on Android Auto and on a Galaxy S25 on a 340km route. I had no problems navigating the tour apart from the 20km I did extra because the app doesn't warn you if you take the wrong road, but this also happened with the previous apps.

So here is the report on the last day of our trip to South Tyrol.
We set off today at 08:00
Arrived in Passau at 17:30
Temperatures ranging from 18 to 28 degreesThe iPhone 15’s online navigation had a blank screen again today and could only be
restored to working order by restarting it.The other iPhone was used offline... everything was fine with that one
The Pixel 9 had the following problem today... the navigation suddenly disappeared and the Pixel 9’s home screen appeared instead.
I had to restart the app and then press ‘Continue’ to carry on navigating.The Samsung A52, on the other hand, had no problems today.
In two weeks’ time, we’ll be back in the mountains for four days... I’ll report back then.

With regards to the blank screen on iOS, there are issues reported with other apps also, such as Waze, not displaying the map.
e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/waze/comments/1tv8syv/waze_always_starts_on_a_blank_screen_in_carplay/
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256152967I've had the same with Waze as well as MRA Navigation Next - but it might be an iIOS bug more than something MRA can fix.

Today (10.06.2026) I navigated a little over 4 hours from Stavanger to Bergen; there were two crashes, but I was able to restart and continue navigating. However, I was once again unable to save the tracklog at the end (not enough track points).

@Kirsten-De-Weerd If it was an iOS bug, how come these problems weren't there before the update? I still have iOS 18, so I wouldn't say it depends on iOS...

Yesterday update to version 5.2
Today no problems at all - 280 km within 7h, no restarts and at the end save the tracklog was possibel
-
I updated to version 5.2, and navigation worked without any issues on my next trip.
However, yesterday during a 440 km, 8.5-hour trip, MRA shut down shortly before reaching the destination (about 35 minutes remaining). I was able to restart the app, but the map was no longer displayed on CarPlay. An error message appeared when saving the tracklog, but it was saved anyway.
Using MRA on
BMW R1300GSA with Carpuride CarPlay
Ducati Monster 937+
Honda X-ADV750
VW Golf R with CarPlay
VW Crafter/Eribacar600 with Carplay -
Today 480 km and over 9h without any problems, at the end the trackroute was able to save
-
Same situation like yesterday, no problems at all - 200 km in 5 hours, was able to save the tracklog
-
We drove 465 km today.
MRA Next crashed twice today.
Suddenly, the mobile phone’s home screen appeared.After reopening the app, I had to tap ‘Navigate’ to continue navigation.
I also had a second mobile phone running with the identical route "offline"
There were no problems with this.

@Roland-Busenhart I had the same issue while driving the last kilometers to my destination in Glasgow. It was very annoying, since I was in heavy traffic. Until that moment I was successfully navigating for over 200 km that day. I also got an error message when saving the tracklog, which was saved anyway. All other days of my 11 day trip went very smoothly. So it's not a big issue for me, but still it's peculiar that the same happened to you. I use Android Auto.

Today we drove 335 km
After about 130 km, the MRA App stopped working and the start screen appeared. Restart the app and tap ‘Navigation’ to resume navigation.My colleague, who uses iOS, experienced a white screen several times and the app stopped responding.
It was only after restarting the app three times that navigation could be resumed.

Pas few days similar with 5.2.
This is the 5.1 topic but I assume you ride with 5.2(I use MRA Next only on Android Auto. Every comment, suggestion, etc will be based on my usage with Android Auto)

This is the 5.1 topic but I assume you ride with 5.2@M.-Schrijver Yes, of course, I’ve downloaded the latest update, 5.2.0-474

Yesterday 315 km in 5 h without any issue completed
-
Yesterday I covered 325 km in 3.5 hours; experienced several crashes during the ride; couldn't save the track log
-
It almost seems like after a certain number of hours the problem starts to appear…
-
Not always... We also had this problem a few times after setting off, after about half an hour or so.
But most problems do tend to occur in the afternoon, after about six to eight hours of driving. -
I think that’s difficult to pinpoint.
I’ve experienced crashes after about 2 hours, as well as after about 5 hours or more. -
Hi everyone,
Ever since the last update (version 5.1.0-462), I’ve been having nothing but problems. Here’s the situation:
We (me and two friends) went to Lake Como the weekend before last (from Friday, May 22, to Sunday, May 24, 2026). Both of my friends have iPhones (one has an iPhone 13 Pro and the other an iPhone 15 Pro) and received the update a week earlier. I myself have an Android phone running version 16.
I drove to Lake Como on Friday still using the “old” version, and everything went smoothly as always. That evening in bed, I saw that MRA had an update and installed it full of joy and confidence in the new features.
When we set off on Saturday, the problems began. I should also mention that the friend with the iPhone 15 Pro had been in Sardinia with another group a week earlier and had already experienced problems there, which I’ll mention shortly.
What were my—or rather, our—problems? The MRA navigation app kept crashing. And when did that happen? Always at the worst possible moment, such as in a city with many turns or roundabouts, or in areas we weren’t familiar with. At times, I couldn’t even launch the app anymore.
Consequently, the tracklog was no longer recorded, so we simply had a straight line across the map.
What also happened halfway through the trip—or at the latest three-quarters of the way through—was that the navigation cursor started to stutter or lag, which suddenly isn’t so fun anymore when you’re in a city or in an area where you have to make a lot of right and left turns.
When I’d drive out of a hairpin turn and, say, find myself back on a straight stretch 100 meters later, the cursor was still at the hairpin turn.
Last weekend (from Thursday, May 28, to Sunday, May 31, 2026), we spent four days at Lake Garda. The night before, I had cleared the cache just to be safe (which works on Android phones; I have no idea if it works on iPhones too), but the problems on the way there were still there.
That evening, I deleted all the data, uninstalled the app, even restarted the phone, and, full of confidence and hoping that this would solve the problems, reinstalled the app. But for the remaining three days, the problems were still there.
My logical conclusions:
- If I were the only one experiencing this problem, it would either be a local issue with my phone or a problem with Android phones in general.
- But since both of my friends have also had problems with it since the update (for both Android and iPhones), I believe it must necessarily be an issue with the update.
- This is also shown by the fact that on Friday, May 22, when I drove to Lake Como using the “old” version, I had absolutely no problems. It all started after the update, both for me and for my friends.
- I also did what was described: I deleted the data, restarted my phone, and reinstalled the app, but nothing changed. Constant crashes and lag.
What has been your experience with the new update?
Best regards,
Massimo
P.S.: Before the update, I never—and I mean NEVER—had any problems with the navigation. Everything always ran smoothly and perfectly.
