@Frappawotsit hmmm I try to understand, but honestly, I don't see a risk. If you had downloaded a map for a country and you don't use it any longer - there will be no problem. It only occupies place for data.

If you did not update the map - there will be no issue as long as you don't navigate with this outdated map. Just if want to navigate with an outdated map, an error will popup, the system can't calculate the route. The reason is the outdated map.

Usually, I drive always in the same country. It's not a pitty to keep it up to date. For a holiday journey I prepare everything (also maps) in front of. Afterwards I delete this map because I don't need it any longer.
To update a map needs the same time, as download it newly.

Hey in the round,

For off-road GURU MAPS goes very well.

@Fifield-Nick said in MRA MOBILE APP TRIAL FEEDBACK:

Hi, really want to buy into the whole MRA ecosystem so took out a trial of the mobile app. Tested it out this morning and have a few issues which are putting me off. Answers welcome ….
1 very very l low volume of navigation instructions through my cardo edge. It’s just too quiet compared to things like Waze or Google. Tried to increase volume to max on iOS and Cardo - too quiet.
2 On a generated round route , it will force you to return to the route if you deviate . I want it to recalculate , not to force me to turn round.
3 If I leave the route , a circular icon appears top left, and turn directions are no longer shown. This is a real problem when combined with the low volume.
4 There does not appear to be a means of editing the generated round route.
5 Parts of a generated route are just plain ridiculous eg traveling down a road , turning around, and riding back again.
6 Asking me to turn right into a private residence
7 Trying to send me down a green lane when I’ve turned off dirt roads

Check account settings in the app:

1.) In the settings of the MyRoute Navi app, under the account, when you start the app, first go to the three lines at the top left, then the profile symbol at the top right, then you are in the account, there under navigation settings, then audio, then play audio sample and test further. Optional - so temporarily it might also help to run a radio player, then the announcement will be on this channel, the music will fade out briefly but the volume will take over.

2.) If this was a route from A = location to B = destination and perhaps selected as having lots of curves. Then you should drive on for now, it will take a while for the app to recognise that you want to drive differently.

2.) If it is a route with many waypoints (WP), then the app only recalculates between the WPs, and only recalculates if there are a few km deviations.

3.) It could be that you have little network, it is recommended that you at least download the offline maps for your region to the app phone in your account. 4.) Yes, there is, go to the + MRA route planner symbol in the app, i.e. the three lines at the top left and then go down until you see "+ MRA route planner". 5.) Since "HERE" is the manufacturer of the maps used for navigation, it can happen that there are turning errors in the HERE map. Compare it in the MyRoute planning software between HERE, TomTom and OSM. 6.) I don't think so... otherwise it is probably a HERE map error that can be reported... 7.) Please provide a picture. The MyRoute manual also explains further very well.

I would recommend the MyRouteApp to everyone. I have been using BaseCamp and Garmin navigation systems for around 18 years and now for around 2 years I have been planning and driving everything using the MyRouteApp on my iPad, mobile phone and at home on my PC.

😂

As a Dutch person who love scones.... I always put cream first en Jam on top.
When the Jam slide, you don't eat it fast enough.

@richtea999
Never give it a thought why it doesn’t work when you place it before an intersection.
It makes sense that when there are two spoken instructions at the same time, they conflict with each other, and you don’t hear everything.

But in the end, I try to place my points on the roads I want to drive and make sure to place them after an intersection.
This can be challenging in the Netherlands because we have many small roads and intersections.

@Con-Hennekens Ja, Con. Dat is hem ✋

@Neil-Hinkins Hi, there are lot of discussions about Carpuride in this forum, try to use the search function.

@Phillip-Butterfield said in Using MRA Navigation only on Smartphone:

I own an Android phone and it's my only source for navigating on my motorcycle. I have purchased subscriptions to MyRoute and MRA Navigation and have downloaded MyRoute on my phone. The only Navigation application I can find on the Google Play Store is the My Route Online, Multi-Stop Navigation, however there is a charge for this application. I have read on various blogs that there is no charge for the Navigation app. Can a link be shared on where the app can be downloaded? I understand the planning and navigation accounts will automatically link. Is that correct? I have tried logging into the Multi-Stop Navigation application but it does not recognize my credentials.

MyRoute-app mobile is free to download and use. This links to your MyRoute-app website account. If you want your mobile app to navigate with turn by turn instructions, you will need a subscription to MRA Navigation Next.

@Corjan-Meijerink Is there already something in the pipeline concerning the zoom option on the Android screen? I'm new to MRA and discovering it on my motorbike with an Android Auto screen. Like the others, I don't have the ability to either zoom in or to zoom out on the Android screen. There is no + or - symbol somewhere visible or hidden on the screen. On the phone I can zoom in and out and even move de map but that has no influence on what happenes on the Andried screen. When I switch to Waze on the screen, I can zoom in en out and also move the map around so that proves that even with Android Auto it is technically possible since Waze (google) can make it happen.
Yesterday I let the App make a roundtrip of 80kms for me. I started following the route but on the screen I could see the blue line of the track only just in front of my position and I was not able to look a bit further away (no zoom out option). When I still had to do 72kms of the track I suddenly mist a tuning point and the app recalculated the routing but since I could only see a very very little part of the track (just ahead of me) I did not know where the recalculation was going to guide me to. What I saw was that i.s.o. having 72kms left I suddenly saw 122kms left. I pulled over, took out my phone and looked what was happening. Since I was familiar with the region I was able to find back the track but you will not be happy when you encounter this in hte middel of nowhere. This I could have discovered if I would have been able to zoom out on the Android screen. I continued struggeling a bit and then stopped the routing and continued with riding from point to point where I had to enter a new point every now and then which is a pitty. The system has a lot of potential but there is still some room for improvement I guess (and read in the forum).

You can as Jurgen has shown display them in your route, but additionally, as you zoom in and examine any of interest along your route, you can also click on them and add the POI to your route.

This way, when you turn POI's off, just those you selected of interest will remain showing on your route.

They don't export with the .gpx file, but if you use the Navigation Next on your phone or CarPlay, I believe you should see them. (Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong)

@Roundabout said in Placement of the Beginning start (via) point:

I have a Gold MyRoute App & Navigation.
Questions **** In making a new route, the beginning point is a via point:

** Do I set it up in the"More Options" drop down as the “Starting Point”? ** Via Points force you to stop or you have to skip them.
A. Should this via point be placed directly at the exact beginning point where I am starting
B. OR should it be placed a block or so farther down the road?
C. OR place that start point before the actual start point?
Last year, I placed it a block or so farther down the road and I would have to go into my navigation and skip that waypoint (via point) as I started my route. ** I’m thinking it would be best to place it at the exact beginning point, and as you prepare to leave, skip that first via point otherwise it will keep asking you to go back. ** Or if I make this first point as the "STARTING POINT " in the drop down, I'll eliminate this problem??

No Via points cannot be skipped automatically - that’s it, no else is different.

A. The first point is always a via point. It is best to position it 100+M from the actual start point. This guarantees that your navigation device registers it.
B. See the answer for A.
C. See the answer for A.
Don’t over complicate things, position the first point 100+M from the start position is the only advice you need.

@Rob-Kelley It would work yes.
What I would do is have Route option in the name box. And then Turn right for shortcut to cafe in the note box.
The reason for this is to keep the name short and sweet, this way you can read it all in the waypoint list.

@Ton-Machielsen that's a setting issue by Apple and cant be changed by MRA

@Jörgen said in Voice instructions on the motorway:

voice instructions on the motorway are a bit too late.
The navigation said "in 400m take exit..." this is too late.
Number of voice instructions per instruction = 2

Please at when, the second sinstruction was said? Still in front of exit, or after?

@JP-d big issue for me too, since I use a Chigge 5 inch screen and I just want to see the POI enlarged .....

@Craig-4 first of all, your friend needs to open an account on MRA. Only after his registration you will be able to find him using his email address or his name.

@Cookie-On-Tour There are a lot of options. I think the cheapest would be to drive to Hirtshals (Denmark) and take the Color Line ferry to Kristiansand (or Larvik), a 3 (or 3,5) hour crossing, but of course you have to drive all the way up to the top of Denmark for that, which is about 365 km from the German border.

If you want to start your trip through Norway in Oslo instead, you can take the Go Nordic ferry (with overnight stay) from Frederikshavn (Denmark) to Oslo (10 hour crossing), with a 360 km drive from the German border as well. This is currently still available through DFDS Ferries, but I haven't found a way to book there for later in the year.

Another option would the overnight Stena Line ferry from Kiel to Göteborg (Sweden) (14,5 hour crossing + a 4-hour drive to Oslo from there), while the most luxurious and comfortable option is probably the Color Line cruise ferry from Kiel directly to Oslo (a 20 hour crossing).

I have flagged @Hubert-paul as spam. I suspect an AI bot commenting context based, while injecting a spam URL into the message ("Strands hint" is a hyperlink to some game website)

@Con-Hennekens Tried English when I originally posted, just tried Dutch now, same results for each of the maps (OSM, TomTom: no; HERE: yes).
