The Great Suggestion List

@Steven-Van-Thuyne Rijmodus van de route kan je al wijzigen via de route-informatie als je de route geopend hebt:

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.

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.

Nick, Thanks

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.

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.

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.
