Fuel Range Notification Feature for Motorcycles Without Fuel Gauge

[Bredimus Marc 0]

I would like to suggest a feature that could greatly improve the experience for motorcycle riders, especially those whose bikes do not have a built‑in fuel gauge. The idea is to allow users to enter how many kilometers they can ride after refueling and to set a custom threshold at which the app should notify them to look for a petrol station.

This would help riders plan their trips more safely and avoid running out of fuel unexpectedly. My Garmin Zumo device already offers a similar function, and having it integrated into the MyRoute app would be extremely useful to get completely rid of an extra device on the bike.

I appreciate all the work that goes into developing the platform and hope this suggestion can contribute to future improvements.

Why don't you just place a Viapoint along the route at a petrol station positioned according to your own fuel range? Add a note and if connected to your sat-nav audio it'll remind you through your headset.

I second this!

Whenever i plan a tour, i always make sure i have at least 2 petrol stations within the maximum range of my bike with a full tank (my BMW has a 24 liter tank, the Kawasaki has a 15 liter tank).

Or when riding with a group, i plan stops at petrol stations based on the person who has the least amount of petrol in his/her tank.

I fully comprehend your suggestion, but MRA has already features to match your suggestion.

@Bredimus-Marc-0 Nice idea. Using waypoints works too but adds complexity when you for some reason deviate from the route. Also: reusing or sharing such a route adds "noise" as these points then make no sense anymore.

A slightly better solution (better than waypoints) would be if mra had support for audio points. points which play no role in the navigation but which would be spoken if reached. I would have some use for such points, for example to announce a bump in the road or a sharp bend.
