MRA 5.0.1-430 Limit of 1000 POIs

[Nick Carthew]

I have opened and tapped Navigate on 3 routes and I see no POI message. I’m in offline mode.

[Corjan Meijerink]

Well….the message shows if you have more than 1000 pois for those routes.

Which is apparently exactly the truth for those routes

[Hubert Thoring]

The question is what exactly is meant here with the POIs. How is here what how exactly counted up to display it.

• Limit of 1000 POIs

The route has not received any POIs from me, are they only on the map?

[Hubert Thoring]

This is the route

Link zur Route

[Corjan Meijerink]

The route you opened “zahn” apparently has more than 1000 POIs loaded from most likely one of your own POI groups.

You probably enabled a POI group by default for all your routes in your account

[Hubert Thoring]

In the web planning I have always activated the POIs of the Alpine passes, and closures ...

The route tooth has been created directly in the MRA app directly...

I would say that no user is aware of what MRA is in the file ...

How should the user behave?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Hubert-Thoring if you disable those POI groups, the warning will for sure disappear.

I don’t see why you’d need all those POIs loaded all the time You enabled the POI groups to be enabled for all your routes so you are aware you did that.

Especially because of that we added this setting. Users were unaware of the fact that always showing 10.000 POIs would cause some issues with performance Then they get mad at our app while they were kinda abusing a feature which in their defense is wasn’t smart of us. Hence we now limit the POIs

[Hubert Thoring]

Okay, thank you, I understand that now, that should be explained again for all users.

I was not aware of that at all, I will take a closer look at it tomorrow and then check the settings.

Thank you very much, and good night with a relaxed dream of the best MRA app it already is

Okay danke das verstehe ich jetzt, das sollte dann auch noch einmal besser für alle User erklärt werden.

Mir war das überhaupt nicht bewusst , ich schaue mir das morgen mal genauer an und werde dann die Einstellungen überprüfen.

Vielen Dank, und gute Nacht mit einem entspannten Traum von der besten MRA App die sie jetzt schon ist

@Corjan-Meijerink, while I totally understand your desire to limit the amount of POI shown, I typically load a geocaching pocketquery which also has a limit of 1000 geocaches as default POI category. Hence I ALWAYS get this message when starting a route. That's a bit unlucky. Is it really stressful for the app to up the limit to let's say 1250 or 1500? For my specific case even upping to 1001 would suffice

[white.mouse]

@Con-Hennekens; Another (simple) solution is to limit your pocketquery to 999! I got mine limited at 500. That's more than I can do in a daytime!

[Con Hennekens]

@white.mouse, I know how pocket queries work I don't usually load them for a single day, but to have them at hand whenever I am driving around What I was hoping for, is a little headroom for more than just one POI. Often it is not the only category you want to have enabled. And yeah, my newer phones don't seem to have any problem handling multiple 1000s of POI. But yeah, if nothing can be done about it, I will need to adjust some PQ indeed.

[Hubert Thoring]

Can you please explain to me in this context what No. 3.) does exactly ...?

• Im Profil anzeigen
• Does that mean the profile will then automatically be displayed in every route?

[Hubert Thoring]

What do I do if I have no control over the number of POIs in a file I download from the web?

For example, road closures... Link to select a POI file

There appear to be more than 1000 points of interest there...

This is displayed in BasCamp! So it's not 1000 POIs, but a mix...

I reduced it to 106 POIs in BaseCamp, but the message in the MRA still appears! ?

[Hubert Thoring]

@Corjan-Meijerink : Please explain what happens in the background of the app!

1.) What does the message "The POI limit of 1000 has been reached" actually do in the background of the app?

My setup: I've selected two POI files, "Alpine Passes" and "Road Closures." What does the app do with them then?

• Are POIs truncated?
• What is still displayed?
• What is still there and what isn't?

This message is quite confusing for me and I'm sure for many other users as well.

• Is it just a message that indirectly says if you have performance issues with the app on your phone, it's your own fault if you want to see so many POIs?

In the past, I never had the problem that my old iPhone XR, now 7 years old, couldn't process the POIs; there was no performance issue!

As a man of a certain age, I have a POI list of public toilets in the UK. The list has 2260 locations. As I live in the south I have no imediate need to visit loos in the north. I opened the original .csv file in Excel and sorted the two columns that contained the coordinates so that the most southerly was at the top of the list. I then deleted the 1260 that came after the first 1000, saved the new file and uploaded to MRA. Perfect, but I can't go further north than 51.8°

[Hubert Thoring]

I find the limitation, whose function is still unclear, not really successful overall, and a good new idea would have to mature.

Ideas for a solution:

• In the app, POIs file can be switched on / off

• Notes if a POIs file has more than 1000 POIs according to the MRA calculation.

Offer a solution to share a data to be able to use it in MRA... so that @Nick-Carthew can find all the toilets.

[Lex.Kloet.RX]

@Nick-Carthew 51,8°C???
Btw, I am also of certain age. That's why I always riding in forests, where there are enough trees.

[Hubert Thoring]

The change between POIs > 1000 and POIs > 1000 in the WebPlaner is only apparently synchronized in the app, but in the app only after you open the route the second time different the message, at less than 1000 and comes at more than 1000 also only at the second opening of the route again?
