    i've got a great one. woudn't it be great if i can pick up my phone, Open de Myroute app and send any route to my Navigation system wireless.

    the functionality is already in a lot of systems.

    Currently i can send or receive from my BMW navigator to any Garmin /bmw device any route or track.
    but it is not possible trough my phone.

    You only have to trich the system by leting hem think the Phone is another Nav device.

    from there i can get any route i want from the app, and drive for ever!!!

      @Arjan-Olsthoorn I can send routes from my MRA library to my TomTom 500 using my phone. And I know that you can do the same with the new Garmin XT.

      Always willing to help if I can.

        Nice to find myself in the list πŸ˜‰
        The actual suggestion was to "search routes based on X-distance form destantion an originating Y-distance from desired starting point" But I will forgive about the shortened version πŸ˜‰

        May I deposit another one here, for Navigation?

        • Expand the on-screen information with current-time, direction or compass, Height, en maybe more. It could be placed on either side of a landscape navigation screen, since more map than really needed is shown when using landscape. Maybe even move speed etc to the same location.

        And for MRA?

        • Since we have the heightprofile information, it could be used for a "caravan & camper" function. As opposite to the curvy road functions, Caravan and Camper drivers could benefit from leaving out slopes beyond a certain parameter.

        To add to myself (all for Navigation):

        • it would be excellent to have the "next turn" indicator at the top left show the next waypoint number to which you are navigating too. That keeps track of route progress, and in case of reboots, recalculations (often start at the beginning again) it gives a better idea of to which waypoint to skip (seems an easy one!)
        • in addition to the above, it would be great if a single tap on the map would show a 2d overview of the route, and your location in it. That is much easier to zoom into areas that on the standard 3d naviagtion map. It seems odd to have to quit navigation in order to see an overview of the route.
        • If there is a need to skip waypoints, it is a real PITA to have to scroll through the waypoints one by one. Why not make the waypoint selectable on the map? It is already clickable, just the button "select this waypoint to skip to" is missing. I can't imagine that to be a difficult change, but if so, a dropbox in which you can select a waypoint would already be a lot of progress. Besides: pressing "close" on a selected waypoint in that view takes you out of the "skip to" function, instead of just out of the selected waypoint details. Probably a bug.
        • make the "start navigation from" options a system default option. At the moment of writing it is implemented as a routing-option, and it defaults to "start of the route" each time a route loads. That can't be meant like that πŸ˜‰

        Most of these additions come from some frustration because of the fact that while navigating it frequently starts recalculating (sometimes while taking a wrong turn, sometimes spontaneously) and in some of those cases it start at the beginning of the route instead of the closest waypoint (ahead!). I am not sure why, but I think it has to do with the fact that where normally the remaining time and kilometers are shown, a text shows "calculating" instead for very long and very often. The navigation runs with no problems at that point. I did not have a chance to test, but I think having the system in off-line mode helps against that.

        I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

          Een andere leuke mogelijk voor sommigen onder ons zou ook kunnen zijn dat je de MODE wanneer je een route hebt opgemaakt kan wijzigen van 'rijden' naar bv. 'fietsen' En je zodoende niet de gehele route opnuiew hoeft te maken maar hierin dan enkel wijzigen hoeft aan te brengen zoals het dan kunnen inrijden van baantjes 'enkel voor plaatselijk verkeer en fietsers'

            @Steven-Van-Thuyne Rijmodus van de route kan je al wijzigen via de route-informatie als je de route geopend hebt:
            8d4abbb0-0be2-4548-940a-23975de12b11-image.png
            Let wel: als de route dus initieel gemaakt is voor auto of motor rijden, kan je de modus weliswaar naar fietsen zetten maar je kan natuurlijk nooit zonder meer dezelfde route rijden... immers kom je met je fietsie niet over snelwegen bijv.

            Manks bu'j te bange.

              Hi, would it be possible for MRA Web to show timestamps on routes in the user's local timezone?

              For example, I just updated a route and the timestamp is 01-11-20 03:33, in my timezone, it is currently 31-10-20 22:33.
              Maybe allow the user to set their timezone in their profile?

              Thanks,
              Joe

                Nice list, with interesting suggestions but ..

                why not start with a "search function" in the Navigation App, or do you consider that a bug ?

                  Hi @Wil-van-der-Helm. There is a search function in the Nav app. If you mean search for a route in your library, there are a couple of workarounds for now. You can make an event and add a group of routes to it making them easier to find when you select events from the Nav homepage. Or - if you adjust a route by a tiny amount or change it’s name, it will appear at the top of your route list in the Nav app.

                      Don't know if it has been suggested before, but I would like to suggest being able to group friends into categories. Because I've made some MRA tutorials on YouTube people started inviting me to be friends. I have no problem with that, but it results in my friend view being swamped with people, while my real life friends aren't that visible anymore.

                        Is there a way to set the date format in my list of routes? I can't find it in my account settings, and a search of the forum did not turn up anything. Currently the dates display in European format, e.g. "14-10-20 17:15". I'd like to have the date display in American format, e.g. "10/14/20 17:15". Thank you.

                          I’m afraid for now, the date format can’t be changed. But it could happen on a future update, especially as you’ve posted to this thread. πŸ‘πŸΌ

                            Hello. I also ride on trails & adventure riding in the UK, and to do this I (and most other trail riders) use Ordnance Survey (OS) maps that show byways and other roads open to wheeled/powered traffic.

                            Some riders use the Ordnance Survey app on their phones (but is is very basic with no routing ability etc) but most use an app called Viewranger that offers the OS maps as a paid subscription.

                            Viewranger has been bought by Outdooractive and this doesn't seem to offer all the functionality that we liked in the Viewranger app as it is more orientated towards walking and cycling. There is much discussion about what the alternatives are in the market, with no clear winner..

                            I think there is a gap in the motorcycling market (certainly in the UK) to offer the OS maps as a layer so that MyRoute could be used both on road and trail riding - just one app for all motorcycling activities.

                            Best wishes Piers

                                  @Timo-Martosatiman-MRA Timo. As we are heading out of lockdown I have just started some route planning after a long break. I see you have implemented adding time to a waypoint. This was my personal number one request and I know others wanted it to. Thank you. You have implemented it well and it has already made a good difference to me planning a long route that involves a lot of sightseeing. I no longer have to sit down and add up all the morning stops that have different durations depending what they are for, to work out where I will be at lunch time when I know I will need to find somewhere to eat!. I can see it immediately and plan accordingly. Thank you for listening to your customers.

                                    Hi,

                                    I have a feature request for a Toolkit option to turn all waypoints on a route to Garmin "Via" points (the hand icon)
                                    I am aware there are other priorities in play so just hoping it could be done at some point in the future.
                                    I am happy to do it manually for now.
                                    I plan to use this functionality in conjuction with the Garmin specific "Beta" Export option
                                    This is to ensure that a Garmin device will never "recalculate" a route and should effectively be similar to a Tom Tom "Track".

                                    Many thanks.

                                      Hi Steve,
                                      By using the option "compare route" from the toolkit, you arrange that the route for Garmin and TT is the same, you do this with formation points (normal route points) and not with via points.
                                      The via points are intended to identify places you definitely want to visit for lunch, coffee, viewpoint, museum, etc.

                                      Garmin Zumo XT2/XT/BMW Connected Ride Navigator/MyRouteapp (The App)
                                      Een dag niet gelachen is een dag niet geleefd / Een route is net zo goed als deze uitgezet is.

                                        Hi Hans,

                                        Yes you have helped me understand how the XT works now.
                                        Please ignore my request or delete if you feel it couldl cause any confusion.
