Issues since the 5.1.0-462 update / Crashes and lag

[Massimo Cardone]

I check the Play Store every day, hoping to see an update for MRA, because on Wednesday morning we’re setting off on the Routes des Grandes Alpes, and if the app keeps crashing – as it has done so far – it won’t be any fun and I’ll be annoyed.

And it won’t just be me who’ll be annoyed, but also my four friends, who all use MRA too. Oh well, we’ll see – as they say, hope dies last.

@Massimo-Cardone Hi Massimo,
Please try to drive completely offline, whilst there’s no guarantee, personally, I’ve had fewer problems – or, to be precise, no problems at all – when driving offline so far.

You’ll need to manually bypass any roadblocks, but apart from that, this setting has caused me the least trouble so far.

Enjoy your trip.

Hello Peter

Thank you very much for pointing that out and for the tip. What exactly does ‘driving offline’ mean? Will I no longer receive traffic jam alerts, or what exactly is the disadvantage – or indeed the advantage – of doing so?

Kind regards

Massimo

@Massimo-Cardone Hi Massimo,

1. You must ensure that you have downloaded all the countries you intend to travel through on your trip to France.

2. To navigate completely offline, simply enable offline navigation in the navigation settings.

3. If, for example, a road closure occurs due to roadworks, the MRA will NOT automatically route you round the roadworks but will simply alert you to the closure with a red icon; you’ll need to find a detour manually (though that shouldn’t really be a problem).

A tip from me...

Before setting off each day, have a look at that day’s route online whilst having breakfast; that way, you can see in advance if there are any diversions (the white line of the original route would be visible in the event of a diversion).

If you spot a deviation, you can double-check on Google Maps to see if the road closure is actually in place; if so, you could manually adjust the waypoints yourself.

It takes about 5 minutes over breakfast

If no road closure is visible online, you don’t need to do anything else.

You just need to switch to offline navigation before setting off.

If you have any further questions, I’m happy to help.

Kind regards
Peter

Hello Peter

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I’ll give it a go on Wednesday whilst we’re travelling.

@Massimo-Cardone I wish you all the best

Please remember that the Tour de France is currently underway too

[Peter Zehentreiter]

We drove 380 km today.

Android device “NOR7E”
Online travel mode.

After about 260 km, the app crashed and only the Android device’s home screen was visible.

After I reopened MRA, I had to tap ‘Navigate’ and everything was fine again for the rest of the day.

@Corjan, I’ve attached the log for this to the existing ticket.

@Peter-Zehentreiter with what version of the app?

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Corjan-Meijerink Version 5.2.0-474

[Aiello antonino]

Two days on the road, the app closed after a few seconds of being open and connected to CarPlay, at least three times. I then tried to put it Offline, but it did it again, in the same way... app version
5.2.0-473 with iOS
