Mooi topic om er even op in te haken. Gisteren een route gereden. Voordat ik de route selecteerde en startte had ik in de instellingen "verkeersbewuste berekening" uitgeschakeld. Tenminste, dat denk ik. Het schuifje heb ik naar links geschoven. De start van de route ging niet heel soepeltjes. De smartphone is daarom ook een paar keer herstart en daarmee de route ook een paar keer opnieuw geselecteerd. Net nog even gecontroleerd en het schuifje stond nog steeds naar links. Er waren op en rond de route veel werkzaamheden. Veel van deze werkzaamheden stelden niet zoveel voor en kon je ook gewoon doorrijden. Deze route rijd ik vaker en weet dus zo ongeveer wel waar de route allemaal langs komt. Echter. MRA heeft de route op verschillende plekken anders laten lopen. En vaak was dat om werkzaamheden heen. Dus. Wat is hier gebeurt?? Ik heb de tracklog net nog eens vergeleken met de route in de planner. De tracklog en planner volgen elkaar vrijwel overal. Dus ook in de planner loopt de route anders dan normaal. Als ik de kaartlaag "verkeersinfo" aanzet, worden er nergens werkzaamheden zichtbaar op die plekken waar de route afwijkt van de gebruikelijke variant.

@Nick-Carthew in the gpx1.2 export to the XT(1, I don't know how the 2 and 3 react on this), the pause is calculated in the "traveltime". When you reach your pause location, the timecounter start from the moment you leave. That is one of the reasons I stick to the XT, because I find one of the most interesting features.

It's a two year old post and already on the wishlist of the new routeplanner. We have to be patient a little longer...

Do not only download the maps(parts) of the route, download a somewhat wider corridor. Especially when you are near borders.

All adjusted, I think. 1 thing, Viewpoint and Camera POIs, just wondering why these are 2 seperate POI catergories and not the same thing really. If it's worth looking at, you might want to stop and take a photo??

@Ton-van-Unen Read my reply above please. When you start navigating the timing is correct.

@lluis-arasanz very good hint, it is really dependent what map layer is in used. Why is that, a question to the developer.

@Corjan-Meijerink any update on this?

Ik was reeds terug gegaan naar een vorige versie en ga die denk ik nog wat houden, tenzij er een meerwaarde is aan de nieuwe versie. Wat mag die dan eventueel zijn?

@a.w.seaman A route with visible waypoints on your TomTom can only be exported as an .itn file using the MRA Connector and USB cable. You can send a .gpx track to your TomTom wirelessly via plan.tomtom. A track has only a visible waypoint at the start and end. You can also use the MyRoute-app mobile app to do this by going to Route lab. You’ll need Wi-Fi for the wireless export.

I too would like this multi-day planning feature. This would be great for our yearly tours.

@bertm : Good if you can do it yourself

I don't think Garmin is going to abandon the Zumo at all, after all, it does have it's place and they have released the XT3 fairly quickly after the XT2, which IMHO they weren't pressured to do (Nothing wrong with the XT2) They have however, abandoned Basecamp, which was, in it's time a very powerful planning tool, now however far superceded by MRA. I too have switched from a Garmin unit (Zumo 550) to a Android Auto Screen, a cheap Ali Express one for now, let's see how I like it (Or not). I understand that some of the more expensive ones do have thier own GPS and internal battery, maybe I'll go there later. Live traffic flow indicators, Incident reporting (Sabre, etc) and rain radar are features I'd like to see on any dedicated Nav unit. Which was my only reason to consider the XT2 when they came out. XT3 priced right out of reach for me....So off to a $80 Tablet!

@Carl-Lee said: I wanted to add this comment in case anyone is offering a solution that is XT2/3 only. I wish I had solid input to provide you, but I don't. For most of my time on the XT, I didn't use the Drive app. And in my time with the XT3, I have Traffic enabled in Tread, but I haven't run into any road closures. I understand (now) that road closures (as opposed to major traffic jams) trigger an automatic route recalculation. As users, we can't turn this behavior off. From my standpoint it's a terrible design, but Garmin views this as a feature, and not a bug. In any case, I found a great thread on the Zumo User Forums that gets into the guts of it: https://zumouserforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=17562&hilit=road+closure#p17562 There is a saying that "The best defense is a good offense". In my case, before leaving for a day of riding, I use Google Maps to do a complete scan of the area I'll be traveling for any closures. If you know up front, it's much easier to adjust than dealing with it in real-time. An added benefit is that Google will expose closures that Garmin Traffic Services (or HERE notifications in MRA) don't even know about. I've found out the hard way that Google is the gold standard other sources will never equal. Catch these things early, and life on the road will be happier.

To do ze choose the download button in the app and choose pdf Or on the web planner export to pdf

I did discover that after a while that's why why the screen shots show it. It can be a bit annoying to zoom into that level for the whole route to check. Thanks
