@Jörgen yes in the app it can be changed BUT you have no option to change it quickly while you’re actually riding. If you read my initial post again you’ll see I had it set to what I wanted. The app crashed/reset and reverted back to miles instead of KM’s. I had nowhere to pull over to then have to mess around with the menus. My thoughts are an option where you touch the units showing on the screen and it would let you change quickly from there. I also post on another thread about have a “automatic” option which means it would default to the units applicable to the country your in

In addition to that, it would be helpful, to have a single button, to save all the app-preferences. When switching to another phone, you could import the settings by click, instead of walk through all the various settings.

@chris-18 Je kunt de cirkel rond de cursor uitschakelen, en iets verderop op deze pagina kun je de dikte van de lijn aanpassen. You can turn the circle around the cursor off, and a little lower on this page you can adjust the thickness of the line. [image: 1788812470704-da324814-4328-4509-b3ad-66d48ad2071f-image.jpeg]

but i want to have them always visible when making routes on my pc

@roland-herremans welke app-versie en welk platform? iOS of Android?

It probably won’t help, but I have similar problems from time to time. Same app version and a Zumo XT. Most recently, at the weekend, I tried to send a route to the Zumo via the Drive app. The app says it’s transferring a route, but the progress bar didn’t move. Incidentally, it didn’t matter whether the route came from MRA or Kurviger. Once I got back home and switched the Zumo back on, three routes were transferred straight away, just as normal. So it’s definitely not down to MRA, but rather the interaction between the Drive app and the Zumo. For me, though, it’s not 1 in 5 – more like 1 in 2.

@Jeroen-1s said: I understand that traffic jam information is obtained by the navigation systems, among other things, by the movement of mobile phones on the road, this information is provided by the telecom providers for this purpose, I think. So it seems that this information is not properly interpreted by the MyRoute app. TomTom seems to process this in a different way, so that you do get reliable traffic information. Every app has its own source for Traffic information. Google is the gold standard for providing the most current/comprehensive data. Apple is slightly behind but catching up. The Tread app (Zumo XT2/XT3) uses Garmin’s traffic network, which is actually pretty accurate. There are others, but unfortunately there isn't a universal source for all to tap into. MRA uses HERE provided traffic information. Like most things HERE, you're not getting the highest quality experience relative to the other map providers. Supposedly HERE traffic reporting is going to get better in an upcoming MRA release. Time will tell.

Thnx voor de info! log is doorgestuurd

@Barteld-Hartstra said: Thanks for all the answers. Although not all the same, one thing is clear: Tread is the big culprit. You're getting it mostly right. To be precise, it's not Tread specifically causing the problem. Instead, it's the Garmin Explore DB component you activated when you installed the Tread app. When installing Tread, you're prompted to answer a number of questions related to how you want the app configured. One question (I'm paraphrasing) is "Do you want to use External Storage?". If you answer "YES", Gamin will save in their Cloud all the individual components of your Routes. Garmin is trying to create an Apple like ecosystem where everything created on one device is available to all devices connected to your account. The problem is that Routes can be corrupted when interacting with the Cloud for calculations. It's a good architecture in theory, but Garmin has really messed up in its implementation. The graveyard of Zumo XT2/XT3 users who are frustrated and have given up on Garmin gets fuller by the day. The solution? It's not to give up on Tread. The app has a lot of cool functions for Phone, Traffic and Music. The answer is to not enable External Storage (i.e. Explore DB) when installing the app on your phone. The downside is that you have to use wired GPX transfers into the Garmin/GPX folder on your device. Copying your routes through the app is no longer available. The reward is Garmin not messing with the components of you Route. This approach 100% works.

@Jörgen problem solved, it was how to select and deselect (hide) folders/routes, but Hubert found the button spot on.

@Marinus-van-Deudekom said: Exact but Apple Maps is I thought we where talking about the slow release of Google not Apple.. I do not see the relation between a navigation app and Apple and Goole maps and the point that they will postpone the release, I think Apple will have never heared about MRA Google his bussiness model is getting data, as much as possible, and sell it to other companies. Even if you get an API key you have to be carefull how many data you query otherwise they will khow how to get your money. On the other hand the data you get out of google maps is mostly quite accurate.

[image: 1788722056790-screenshot-2026-09-06-21.12.39.png] Approx. at point 1 i lost my cell coverage. At point 2 I heard and saw the auto skipping to point 56 This was in the town center of Uelsen

This thread has gone completely off topic and is becoming too personal. @marinus-van-deudekom please moderate your comments, it is not acceptable to tell another forum user to shut up!

@Marinus-van-Deudekom Interesting. in the Garmin, "Traffic" is a real-time service that alerts me to conditions up ahead. If an accident happened 10-minutes ago and is backing everything up, I'm alerted on the device. This service has nothing to do with how my route was originally imported into the Garmin and calculated. Traffic related Recalculation can only happen if I allow it. in the Optimize Route navigation setting, I have the "On Request" set. In other words, I'm prompted (asked) if I want to route around the delay. Again, nothing happens unless I say yes to the reroute. If I do nothing, I'll sit with everyone else until the delay is resolved. But again (for emphasis), this has nothing to do with the original import/route calculation. So, please explain the "Traffic info has a serious impact on the way Garmin treats the route".

@corjan-meijerink : Now I have become very curious because the dear CEO Michel van Hagen has shared the video, let's test it soon as beta users. https://youtu.be/_z-LptRznFY?is=G2bVCm_B24XmbqAx What new features are there: Sequence / parts location or so .. At least that was hinted at —-###—- Jetzt bin ich sehr neugierig geworden weil der liebe CEO Michel van Hagen das Video geteilt hat, lass es uns bald als Beta User auch testen. https://youtu.be/_z-LptRznFY?is=G2bVCm_B24XmbqAx Welche neuen Funktionen gibt es denn: Folge / Teile Standort oder so .. Das wurde zumindest angedeutet

After a bit of experimentation I've settled on the Dart and Explore combination which gives reasonable contrast and certainly a lot more usable than the default settings.

@Guzzist said: ...other Apps are doing it without AppStore more and more. We don't need the Americans... That has been discussed over and over and its by choice to use the Google Store

@herman-3j-0 Check the second post from @tenmill-0. The route is good now.

My 2 cts: motorway is in German: Autobahn. Motorcyclists have no business being there, otherwise they would have called it "Motorradbahn"

Het moet zijn 5,5 uur. Als de route binnendoor gaat, dan heb je zeker 5,5 uur nodig.
