[EN] MyRoute-app Routeplanner Next (Beta)
-
On AI pricing. Nothing seems to have been published about this yet but here's a point of view: please don't make it (for lifetime members) another price-per-month add-on. Many of us (especially those most likely to use the feature) are already paying monthly for one or more AI systems; other apps include AI as just another feature. Usage limits might be one way to control the cost of tokens, as long as we get a decent allowance. But we already have too many monthly subscriptions for overlapping capabilities.
Ideally there would be a simple API which allows us to use our own GenAI to operate MRA, with our own subscription rather than something baked in which evolves more slowly than the (incredible) pace at which the main AI vendors are moving. A one-off lifetime fee for that API would of course be needed.
For those who don't want AI features, wait and see - I don't know what MyRoute-app will do, but I am using ChatGPT Plus extensively for route planning at the detailed level and frankly it is amazing. I just wish it could exchange data properly with MRA.
This is functionality which has the potential to transform MRA. -
Thanks for all the work, the communication on the web site has now also been improved.
I didn't suspect anything bad, just reunderstood the topic of Lifetime.
The comparison of the functions per subscription was helpful. Klick hier zur Info
Proposal:
- A discount for beta testers in the Next whether navigation - Next or route planning Next would be a recognition for many many hours in the beta area that seriously try to show MRA points in the update to stimulate reflection before it is published for everyone. Best regards ais Münster

@peter-schiefer I’m amazed at how inaccurate your comments are. I’m afraid I have to say that you haven’t understood a thing of what Corjan and others have now explained more than once.
-
I feel a bit surprised but also irritated or disappointed! Because for a long time it has been announced, a new website is in development. I’m really looking forward to it, as there’s quite a lot that could be improved.
But suddenly surprise surprise - without any pre information -
a new Navigator will be launched!I will not step in about pricing discussion.
But I feel like @travellexxie : some time ago, we had a roadmap for development. But it disappears silently. Not nice!
As a lifetime license user, we would like to accompany the development and to demonstrate our solidarity.
I feel I’ve been treated a litle bit unfairly. -
@Con-Hennekens I do think it is a bit cheeky asking €49 to be a Beta guinea pig,
for the privilege of providing feedback, paying €49 + spending the time to test made me laughI understand that with my Lifetime Gold I just have to wait till February to use the new planner & I will have access to all the functionality I currently have in February
The only benefit I see for me in accessing the Beta would be the addition of the MRA Route Collaboration & Group Rides functionality to my subscription
I get that Route Collaboration means multiple users able to edit the same route file simultaneously & that seems like a nice new feature, is there a max number of concurrent users, is it 2 or higher?
As I have no idea what the functionality of Group Rides is I cant effectively evaluate if it is worth paying the €49 for the beta access, what does Group Rides do?Oh & a bit of free feedback
screen real estate is precious, having the functions in a vertical tab takes up a lot of lateral space reducing the important map area, either revert functions tabs to horizontal, make it user configurable, or add the ability to collapse the vertical tab so it takes up less space
oh & I dont need a "Discover" button that I am unlikely to use always hiding part of the map
The only benefit I see for me in accessing the Beta would be the addition of the MRA Route Collaboration & Group Rides functionality to my subscription
Maybe that should have been the first line in the add indeed, since many people already seem to get angry at that first line
It certainly proves that the offer is NOT just about being a beta guinea pig.I will leave further announcements on the specifics of the features to the MRA team though

Litterally the whole software industry is moving towards vertical menu bars... This to prevent degrading your screen to some letterbox view, especially on wide screen monitors.
Besides, you can hide it...

a new Navigator will be launched!Yes, isn't that wonderful? What did you have in mind, that all news and new features would have been given away prematurely? There is not much about a product launch if you already know everything, is there?

Is that not exactly what the early access is about? People seem to miss the fact that it is an early access offer, exactly for what you say.
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

@Con-Hennekens yes Con you are right, with your 2 responses. But I was waiting for the early access of promised Web Route Planner - not for Navigator...
-
I think we all should just calm down and embrace the hard work of the development team. I am sure that noone will be loosing any functionality they paid for and used before when the new version comes out!
I, personally, am totally on board with paying a bit extra for extra features that I may not need at the moment, but very likely to use at some point in the near future.
I have a question though...
@corjan-meijerink will the new release have a way to turn the newly created route to a track without saving it first and then importing it back as a track?
Thank you! Keep up your great work!!!!
GO MRA!!!!! -

Euh, this bèta announcement is in fact for the web route planner, NOT for the navigation app?
After launch MRA offers to main distinct products for which obviously different pricings are applicable:
- MRA Navigation Next
- MRA Routeplanner Next
- MRA Routeplanner "Legacy", for a t.b.d. period of time)
- New stuff... Yet to be disclosed, but hinted on by the beta website...
And obviously the app is sort of "connected to" all of these products.
This thread is about the Routeplanner Next!
