iOS is here The POI is going wonderfully, thank you [image: 1783723836089-img_0203.jpeg]

@Lenny-O I used to use TomTom Rider long time ago and after that a BMW Navigator IV(=Garmin-ish) for many years. But the BMW Nav's all get the same 'ghosting' problem after a few years and they become unusable. (Repair costs 150 Euro every time) This is why I started my search for a follow-up solution and I ran into the same things as you are now I started testing all kinds of models and brands of Smart Displays with MRA, Google Maps, Sygic, Waze, Calimoto, Stegra .io and Kurviger using both Android Auto and Apple Carplay on several Android phones and iPhones. My opinion: all AA and AC implementations are still premature today (missing functions, etc.) and most nav apps are ok, but I'm the most unhappy with MRA app due to crashes (6-8 times a day, complexity and a very high risk of incorrect settings or operation due to the unintuitive GUI and too many (unclear or fatal) options. (The MRA app should have a “Simple Mode” button to put it into ' Kurviger mode' to make it rock solid usable! ). Also, most important, with MRA you can NOT ride seamlessly through mountainous areas without an internet connection! (If you turn of data on your phone, MRA will not be able to do what you need..) If the aviation industry used software like this, all the planes would fall out of the sky! But hey, this is just my opinion after 3,000 km of testing the MRA app.... The MRA route planner website is very good though, once you get used to it. After all of this, I’m happiest with Kurviger: simple, stable, everything you need right at your fingertips without having to search for it. The only thing you should always do when riding a turn-by-turn route, in my opinion, is turn off automatic recalculation. Do that, and it works rock-solid like a charm! And with Kurviger you can ride seamlessly through mountainous areas when the Internet connection fails! I use Kurviger app with both Android Auto and CarPlay. With CarPlay, the buttons are positioned on the left side of the Smart Screen, while with Android Auto they are at the bottom, which unfortunately wastes valuable screen space. So I prefer Carplay but Android Auto is also fine. There is no way at all you can get an exact copy of any of the phone app-views on a smart display. The AA/AC layer is simply preventing that. (for all apps) Options with Wonderwheel support: 1.A Chigee aio 6 1.B Chigee aio 5 2.A Ridernav R7M. 2.B. ...... none 2.C to Z. See Youtube and look for channel 'Smart Riding Gadgets' for all kind of tests (keep in mind that you are only interested in the models with Wonderwheel support)

Aaah! No, I just asked whether it worked with the bmw wonder wheel. Why would BMW do that. Ok, we know, to encourage you to use their (expensive) cradle and navigation app…

@Albyus È il routing di OpenStreetMap (OSM) a causare questo problema. Utilizza HERE o TOMTOM e il problema scomparirà. traduction Google

I’m aware of these buttons. Simply, I never use them because the program is zooming in and out as it should. The issue is that since shortly the programming doesn’t auto zoom. Like today the navigation was zoomed in and staid at that level, it didn’t auto zoom on behalf of speed, roundabouts or what so ever.

The next step is still in the test, so you can turn it very easily from horizontal to vertical ... see sample idea [image: 1783701175534-img_7829.jpeg] This is the 3D pattern print, there are still 10mm missing because of the lock of the BMW bracket.

Ik bedoel eigenlijk ofwel een soort kaart, waar ik (niet alles in 1 keer) POI kan toevoegen, dus waar ik POI die ik op die dag dat ik aan het rijden ben, opmerk, en later aan die kaart toevoeg. Ofwel, ik ben aan het rijden, ik merk een POI op, en dat ik deze aan de route (die ik aan het rijden ben) kan terplaatse toevoegen.

That’s actually quite helpful AI work, thanks. I have been working on a tutorial video - it’s with the MRA team for review and I have a few more tweaks to make. I had an AI review of the script which was helpful; I’ll cross-check with the above (and other posts) and perhaps also make a short printed quick reference card like the AI instructions above.

That worked really well, thank you very much for that detailed instructions!

@maurizio-0, you don't have that update yet. I can confirm it works in the alpha.

@Brian-McG Yes, the Toolkit compare is a handy function. For safety, you definitely want to place waypoints where the other base maps agree. Having to worry about the accuracy of a base map (any map) is a new concept for me. I've developed hundreds of routes in Basecamp (HERE) and inRoute (Apple), executed on Garmin GPS units, and have never encountered this. I know -- different environments, different behaviors. I don't plan to use the MRA Next app again anytime soon, so at this point it's a non-issue. As I type, I'm setting up a new Garmin Zumo XT3, and that's going to be my primary route execution layer. Like I have been doing with my Zumo XT, I'll execute routes developed in MRA using the OSM base map. I've been snake bit using MRA HERE too many times.

Het is audiofunctie van je AA headunit. Bij schermen als Chigee wordt meestal de telefoon als basis voor de audio gebruikt. En die kent de scheiding niet. Tenzij MRA je de keuze gaat geven om MRA over een ander kanaal te laten afspelen dan het standaard mediakanaal. (Wellicht een idee voor een toekomstige update). De muziek wordt nu inderdaad wat gedimd. Maar bij een echte scheiding zoals AA dat kan, kan je gewoon voor 2 verschillende volume niveaus kiezen. Je muziek relatief zacht en je navigatie juist vrij luid, of wat je voorkeur ook is. Waarbij het navigatiekanaal altijd voorrang heeft op het mediakanaal. Als het ik me goed herinner, wordt de muziek niet gedimd maar volledig stil gelegd. Bij mijn Goldwing kan ik er zelfs nog voor kiezen om de Google assistant ook een eigen volumeniveau mee te geven.

Hello, The support team gave me a workaround to use and it works so far, you should open a support ticket if you haven't already. 1 - they reset my subscription 2 - instructed me to open my route on my phone before the bike booted up Hope this helps Steve

Here is a new update on that problem. Yesterday, i had that same problem again. I then closed the app on my iPhone and start it directly on the Chigee. From there, i was able to start last route and it displayed instantly. Any idea about a real solution ? Thanks
