@superg lees nog even, wat ik geschreven heb.

Ja, dit zijn ook mijn ervaringen sinds de laatste update. Inmiddels een veelvoud aan routes gereden en geen problemen gehad. Ook niet meer bij afwijkingen van de routes of stops.

I used the Drive app when I am away from my PC. I did have the exporter working, but it stopped with the device not found error. Thought is was my PC so rebuilt it, but got the same. I use drag and drop in windows explorer from now . Just wondered whey the exporter wasn't working as advertised.

Nick, Thanks so much! It was there all along! Sometimes the simplest things can make a big difference! Just when I think I have a pretty good handle on this route planner, I find something else I should have known... Thanks again, Jim O'Dowd

@Nick-Carthew I got it, Nick! I forgot to turn on the Toolkit options for it... Doh!

@Brian-McG In dit specifieke geval had ik een route-track geïmporteerd die de maker in Basecamp had gemaakt. Ik had de route alleen geïmporteerd, dus niet met MRA bewerkt in de HERE kaart. Gemini zegt hierover: Let op bij tracks (.GPX): Zuivere tracks of 'route-tracks' kunnen soms moeite hebben met offline opstarten omdat de app deze probeert te herberekenen. Zorg er dus voor dat je gpx-bestanden in de MRA planner (op de HERE-kaart) eerst netjes hebt omgezet naar een definitieve route met routepunten. Wat betreft het overslaan van routepunten. Na een uur terug verwezen te worden is inderdaad mijn geduld op. Ps Ik zie dat bovenstaande tekst bij het verzenden verandert. Zo wordt “geïmporteerd” verandert in het woord vervangen. Hierdoor kunnen leuke misverstanden ontstaan.

@Reinhard-Punz I think the system is working pretty much as intended Any avoidance setting set in the MRA web planner is set the same in the MRA app for that route, the settings are part of the route & are synchronised in your account When planning if you want to ignore road closures then "Disable Seasonal Closure" option should be enabled this way you can plan the path you want to take regardless of what the road situation maybe today, in 6 months or a year from now The term "Seasonal" is a poor description of what the function does, originally it was for winter high mountain passes but its function has been expanded so now it also ignores temporary road closures If in the navigation app you decide to be online allow traffic aware route calculations of course the app will recalculate the route with the current data it has available As you have correctly discovered if you want to ride a route exactly as you have planned then you have to ride the path as a track & for complete peace of mind be in offline mode, that way nothing can interfere with your plan If you want to ride as a route then your open to changes being made to the planned path You cant blame the app for doing what you tell it to do In your settings you may find it useful to enable the function "Navigation Settings > Screen Layout > Lines > Show Original Route" This displays a white line of the original route/track on the background of the map so you can easily see where the directional path is deviating from the original planed path

Sorted - thanks guys. I thought I had deleted the app off the Android…..but I hadn’t. I’m not an Android person. Thanks again for your time and patience.

@henry-van-den-belt als je ook RouteXpert zou willen worden, meldt je dan aan via de site. Dat zie een knop ambassadeur worden. Dan wordt het selectieproces opgestart. Zomaar routes uploaden zit er niet in maar je bent zeker van harte welkom in de club

Thanks Nick!

it would also be nice if the spoken name didn't 'spell' out the entire number for roads that contain 3+ numbers. For example, in Texas, there are 'Farm to Market Roads' that are generally 4 numbers long - ie: FM2920. It gets announced as "FM two thousand nine hundred and twenty" - takes way long to say that than it does to read. Not sure if this is a MRA or HERE thing. EVERY other nav app says it as "FM twenty nine twenty"

Aanvulling: Vandaag online gereden en in diverse tunnels GSM verbinding kwijtgeraakt waardoor herberekenen startte. Eenmaal weer buiten de tunnel werd de route acuut weer opgepakt op CarPlay. Online wordt het blijkbaar dus wel opgepakt na een onderbreking van GSM dekking. Offline wil je juist onafhankelijk zijn van GSM. Waarom start dan herberekenen als je het GSM signaal kwijt raakt? Klinkt niet logisch toch?

I also find the Expand feature to be extremely frustrating at times. Here's an example where I created a 293.63km route with 8 waypoints. I currently export my routes to my Garmin 595 so want to Expand the route to include some extra shaping points. I Expand the route to 15 points total and the new route goes from 293.63km to 553.54km!!!! Note that my original points are all in the correct order. I sure hope that this feature can both be retained and improved in the new planner as when it works it can be very useful.

@Alfonso-Hurtado-de-Mendoza said: But the navigation app does not appear in the phone as one of the apps that can be used with Android Auto. Verify if the app is checked or not for being displayed in Android Auto: On your phone, go to Settings > Connected Devices > Android Auto. Tap Customize launcher. Look for your app in the list. If it is unchecked, tap the checkbox to make it visible. Restart Android Auto !

Many thanks, Roland. I appreciate your reply.

@Hanspeter-Gruber-4-0 MRA Academy training sessions in English will be held later in the year.

@Ron-33 interesting workaround, saves all the hassle of copying/updating routes in a Group & gets around maintaining a large friends list plus still allows sharing of the route to those with the link, well solved

Much more information is available from the tracks. Use gpxsee, https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpxsee/ RT
