MRA Community Forum

Hey Easter is just over, ...

@peha nice communicating through edits hahaha All good! I always applaud criticism as long as it is relevant. I completely agree with you on the subject. Hope it is resolved soon and definitely some language nuances can be lost in translation. You definitely are not being provocative but just looking for answers. That’s why I wanted to clarify I’m in no way frustrated about you asking again Thanks for your input on this subject and your contributions!

Hope end of this week, early next week. Practically finished Alpha testing. HERE has not yet fixed the issue so no changes regarding this issue. They fixed it but introduced another issue preventing us to update.

@Hubert-Thoring said in MRA V5.0.3 (449) The contrast is not sufficient: The fact is that the roads without route and sun are not really easy to see on the display, if I stubbornly follow a planned route, it almost doesn't matter what else is shown there .. since the route dominates strongly blue I don't agree with that, because you also want to see cross roads!

@Andre-Klap dat mag niet van CarPlay

I always use JaVaWa GPS-tools for this (https://www.javawa.nl/rtwtool_en.html). You can also add heights to your track or convert it to several other file types. Or you can use Gotoes (https://gotoes.org/tools/merge-gps-files).

@Lex.Kloet.RX Thanks

@BMWBiker58 Provided your route doesn’t wind its way around the closed motorway exit like a snail, I don’t see any danger here. As already described, the app will guide you to the selected waypoint, and it doesn’t matter whether that’s a shaping or a Via point. In your example, you couldn’t leave the motorway at the closed exit... as soon as you selected the next exit and left the motorway, you’ll be guided to the new selected point, possibly just outside the motorway, passing close to your closed exit, but of course only if your destination is near the closed exit. If your destination is not next to the closed exit, you will not be guided there. To be absolutely sure that you are not guided back, please skip one or two more waypoints than might be necessary. The app will definitely not navigate you to the closed exit... It is understandable that you would want to inform the app that this exit is closed, but it is absolutely not necessary.

@Don-Stauffer said in Favorites, POI's and waypoints: The per-route implementation of POI in the 'manage' tab works a little better, as I can turn on and off any particular POI. The POI is visible regardless of zoom level. Two good features there. But I cannot maintain the list off-line, and I cannot carry it into a new route. That is indeed one of the things I hope will improve in the new web version. Problem is that MRA does not follow the GPX standard for POI and you have only the "name" field available. I did not heard of the app Tablecruncher before, but it is indeed a simple CSV editor that is open source. I have ran into the same problems that you did and started out using Excel to edit POI, as I also use a Garmin device and wanted to have more fields available. After some time I switched into Google Sheets because I wanted to access POI also when I was not at home. This can be accessed "In the Cloud" and can be programmed with Javascript instead as Visual Basic in the Excel version. Downside is that you must have a Google account. With javascript I progammed an Import/Export function for GPX/KML files, can Geocode coordinates in the way as Garmin uses the fields and also add addresses into the name field so I have the address in the MRA POI available. Import in MRA I do with GPX as CSV will not always importing correct into MRA [image: 1776769439631-98e8d95f-889f-47db-a227-1ccf2a522f43-poi_1.png] [image: 1776769492274-910a92d0-167c-4c9c-99b1-cfd6222185df-poi_4.png] I do not think MRA will implement an complete POI editor, but follow the "Standard" GPX fields and add more Icons would be a big improvement. Instead of Trello I use UMAP, that runs on Openstreetmap, for managing POI as it can also import GPX and you can manage into POI catagories.

@Con-Hennekens Hartelijk dank voor je snelle en gepaste antwoord. Ben er blij mee en weet nu hoe ik makkelijk in het buitenland kan blijven genieten van MRA NN en de mooie routes.

I did find an easy solution. https://mygeodata.cloud/ drag the tracking file, follow the prompts, choose many file formats including excel. Then download. It makes a folder with a "track-points” file with the data and “track” file which I think just has the file/track name. thanks everyone for the help

Yeah, that's why I hope that the new app version will arrive soon, since it should also have a lot of CP/AA improvements. Last news I have is that it should be available at the end of this month.

Bedankt voor antwoord, zal het nog eens nakijken

Voor de liefhebbers, hieronder de code die ik gebruikte hebt en succesvol heb kunnen importeren (opgeslagen als gpx). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gpx version="1.1" creator="Example"> <trk> <name>Test Route</name> <trkseg> <trkpt lat="52.5200" lon="13.4050"><name>Punt 1</name></trkpt> <trkpt lat="52.5205" lon="13.4055"><name>Punt 2</name></trkpt> <trkpt lat="52.5210" lon="13.4060"><name>Punt 3</name></trkpt> </trkseg> </trk> </gpx> Nu dacht ik slim te zijn en met knippen en plakken alle regels "<trkpt lat="52.5200" lon="13.4050"><name>Punt 1</name></trkpt>" uit een ander gpx bestand te kopieeren, maar dat werkt dus niet. Helaas kan ik daarna dit test.gpx reis ook niet meer verwijderen in de app (wat wel raar is toch?). Gelukkig kun je wel van A naar B rijden. Ik ga nog verder experimenteren want ik wil het toch voor elkaar krijgen (ik kan het niet uitstaan dat zoiets niet werkt). Desondanks ga ik telefoon houder (Quad lock of SP connect) kopen om uiteindelijk met de MRA app te navigeren (met oplaad functie). Gr Karel,

I sold my TT550 and 500 because there are obsolete! I use only NN on my iPhone and Carpe Iter. The XT2 or 3 is more, in my case, for Dirty and Offroad driving on a track.

@Peter-Zehentreiter Thank you for that, but yes. I already knew about this and I am using HERE as default map and also when planning the routes. It is a must-have to use the MRA routes with my Garmin Zumo XT.

Wow, that's a lot of feathers... good to hear!
