Well thought out @retiredwingman . I just tried that and it works.

I have finally received a detailed response regarding my issue. The fact is that the Carpe Iter controller cannot be used with Android Auto or CarPlay. The commands work perfectly on the mobile phone, but due to a limitation, they are not forwarded to Android Auto or CarPlay. Here is the detailed response from Carpe Iter: Hi Massimo, I completely understand why you wanted to add it to your setup, operating a touchscreen with thick motorcycle gloves is exactly why we created our controllers. However, the behavior you are experiencing is due to a strict system limitation of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Why is this happening? The Carpuride W702S Pro is essentially a projection screen for Android Auto / Apple CarPlay. These platforms are completely locked down by Google and Apple. Our Carpe Iter controllers connect via Bluetooth to your phone and send commands to the phone's native operating system. Unfortunately, Google and Apple do not allow third-party Bluetooth controllers to pass screen interactions (like panning or zooming a map) from the phone through to the projected display on the Carpuride. Because of this block in the Android Auto/CarPlay architecture, the inputs are registered on your phone's screen, but they are not mirrored to the Carpuride screen. Sadly, there is no workaround, app, or setting that can bypass this restriction. It is a limitation baked into Android Auto and Apple CarPlay themselves. To get the full functionality of the Adventure Control (panning, zooming, app switching), the controller needs to be paired with a device running a full, native Android operating system mounted on your handlebars, such as a Caretta or CiPad. Best regards,

@Herman-Veldhuizen I don't know where the cursor was approaching point (7). It's a very technical section of Mulholland Highway that demands 100% attention on the road. The hairpins of that section are incredibly demanding, made even more challenging with a 9% upwards grade. It's a Butler Maps G2 rated section that I would argue probably deserves the highest level G1. To your point, HERE does seem to have oddities. Whatever the situation, the route developer should be alerted of potential problems before actually executing it. Being hit with strange behavior while on the route is absolutely the wrong time. Using the Garmin GPS, I absolutely know ahead of time if the unit will treat the route differently (at execution) than what I developed. I sometimes have to do more than one iteration of adjustment before finalizing the route but it's worth the effort.

Ok, I had a look at what you said but that's a very tedious way to do something so very simple. Thanks again for explaining but I very much hope that this can be added to the app in the future in a far more intuitive way (such as how Kurviger approach it). ...fingers crossed it get's some attention! BTW, how do I edit the original post? I made a couple of frustrating typo's. I can find the edit button on replies but haven't found it on the opening post.

@mister-b De stappen zijn zeer simpel en logisch. Ik heb even mijn verzinselkaart erbij gepakt (dit is een routekaart waarop ik routes uitprobeer en dingen test). 1) Plaats al jouw POI's op de kaart (in mijn kaart enkele parkeerplekken als voorbeeld/rood omcirkeld)). Klik dan op de knop Opslaan als [image: 1783419078961-2cc012de-3b71-4758-9b8d-123acf111ea1-image.jpeg] 2) Sla het bestand op als een .csv bestand. Zet het .csv bestand in een logische map, bv. jouw Documenten map onder Windows [image: 1783419030310-31b51190-d3bf-4702-9ff9-f05913bbe866-image.jpeg] 3) In jouw route, ga naar Points of Interest en klik op de knop Toevoegen [image: 1783419337656-572dd9ff-a14b-4c52-b606-c57779fada5e-image.jpeg] 4) In het pop-up menu Uploaden , klik op de knop Bestanden kiezen. Let ook op de waarschuwing die boven deze knop staat. Vandaar dat je je eigen kaart met POI's het beste kan opslaan als een .csv bestand [image: 1783419206768-62172c05-bf7c-421e-a2c3-7b34bd946a88-image.jpeg] [image: 1783419271689-c0214ac9-75b3-45cf-8ed6-2d6e4cb34b7a-image.jpeg] 5) Selecteer jouw .csv bestand (in mijn voorbeeld nomko's verzinsel.csv) en klik op Openen [image: 1783419262817-81b1c34b-fd11-4109-b5ef-dba3f54fb408-image.jpeg] 6) Na het importeren komt jouw .csv bestand in het overzicht te staan. Het enige wat je dan nog moet doen is het bestandje aanvinken door op het (lege) vierkantje te klikken. Als het goed is gegaan zie je daarna al jouw POI's in jouw route [image: 1783419189120-196ed54d-f7f7-4129-98f1-73e119829caa-image.jpeg]

@Erik-Becht As far as I know, this isn’t possible without additional components. Please have a look here: DMD BMW Sync Box – THATS-RALLY https://share.google/l9Ja9OMkrZbN04Acc Unfortunately, I can’t tell you whether the MRA app works with it, though. Alternatively, there are various controllers from Silverfox; I can confirm that MRA is supported with these.

@Günter-Schwarz said: Ich war jetzt mehre Tage von Deutschland nach Österreich und zurück unterwegs. Arbeite mit dem R7M Display und der Route APP Nach gefühlt einer Stunde Fahrt stürzt die App ab. Wenn ich dann neu Starte beginnt diese dann am Anfangspunkt und vor allem berechnet und verändert sie die vorgeplante Route. Bsp. zuvor ohne Autobahn geplant nach dem Absturz und Neuberechnung führt sie über die Autobahn und hat einen Teil der alten Route verworfen. Zuvor hatte ich die geplanten Routen auf mein Garmin Navi übertragen dort hat es zwar auch mit dem einen oder anderen Problem gekämpft aber in Summe funktioniert. Hey, du kannst in den Einstellungen den Startpunkt einer Route einstellen, gerade wenn man unterwegs neu starten muss ist das sinnvoll. Nachdem du auf navigieren gedrückt hast dann s. Bilder beachten , das einstellen bevor du auf Start drückst. [image: 1783405084540-img_0039.jpeg] [image: 1783405084943-img_0041.jpeg]

I've always used routes and an active tracklog, and I've had problems. I was trying to make some hypotheses to understand what the conditions are that cause the app to crash. It seems to work well with offline navigation. I don't know, but let's hope they find a solution.

@Marinus-van-Deudekom said: Did you make the route with the webplanner. I see that the route is with the Here map. I always plan my routes on the web planner, and use Here, I do compare with OSM and tom tom while making them. I also use the Michelin overlay as the Here is very wishy washy, and bad contrast. perhaps I inadvertently changed it, but I do not know why I would do that. @Brian-McG said: I think the only way to try & figure out what is occurring is if you can re-ride the route & get a repeat of the issue then save the app log file for the devs as stated above, I have ridden the route previously (3-4 times) without issue. I have sent the logs. @Brian-McG said: in fact I get the exact opposite, at every junction it is telling me to stay ON the m-way or main A-road when I have ridden the route before, that is what normally happens. For info to all, I merely put this on here as discussion point, and to highlight the behaviour, although it is good to read the differing points of view. I am touring around Ireland from Thursday, no motorway to speak of so may not see this again. @Brian-McG said: It looks like a decent ride to Hawick so should not be to much of a hard task it is a very nice route, although the road between Middleton and Alston is very uneven, not great on my K1600, almost throws me out of the seat in places, enjoyed it more when I had the GSA @marinus-van-deudekom, @Marinus-van-Deudekom said: That could be the result of the settings in NN. Could you share your settings I use fastest route in optimisation, the rest is below [image: 1783355754115-img_1231.jpeg] [image: 1783355764069-img_1232.jpeg] [image: 1783356048716-screenshot-2026-07-06-at-17.37.25-resized.png]

@Massimo-Cardone I wish you all the best Please remember that the Tour de France is currently underway too

I'm just back from a 2 week trip in Europe and finally moved from Nav 5 to using MRA on a Chigee AIO5 (IOS and CarPlay). The App worked fairly well, although still work to do and ran into bugs that required restart phone rather than just close app and restart. The biggest problem for both myself and the other rider using the same unit is the size of the icons and text size choices on screen. Fine if you've got perfect eyesight but, if not, some text is so tiny as to be unreadable while riding. Have other people mentioned this and it can be addressed? Or do I just have to buy a bigger screen?!

@Simon-James-Hancock You might (temporarily) use an OSM map for Morocco in your Garmin.

This happened to me about a year ago. I deviated from my planned route while I had no cellular reception, even though the app was in Online mode, and it failed to recalculate the route. A few days later, I drove the same route again, this time with the app set to Offline mode, deviated again from the route and the app successfully recalculated the route.

@Lenny-O Yes, that’s right, the microphone really is very short. As I wear glasses, I have to bend the microphone to one side every time I put the helmet on, otherwise it gets caught on my glasses. Perhaps I’ll write to Sena about this as well… thanks for this hint.

Is het Windows of een Mac ? Kan verschillend zijn. Kleln scherm ? beweeg naar rechts en bovenaan een TAB met opslaan als .... Sowieso zijn routes op MRA de facto opgeslagen.

@stuart-marritt try tedt it but not working

@superg lees nog even, wat ik geschreven heb.

Ja, dit zijn ook mijn ervaringen sinds de laatste update. Inmiddels een veelvoud aan routes gereden en geen problemen gehad. Ook niet meer bij afwijkingen van de routes of stops.
