We will start with adding gas station search.
After that, more stuff like this

I think I expressed myself badly. With my gps I can search for a street, a city without being connected to anything. For example with the OSMAND application you can search for the name of a city and choose navigation without being connected to the internet. this just implies that the calculation engine is in the application and not online. Well, I see it like that. -
@Stuart-Greer, What feature exactly are you referring to?
@Con-Hennekens in the beta you have to be online to enter a destination to navigate to even with the maps downloaded. In the original app you can do this offline. I live in the North of Scotland where data signals are infrequent and largely non existent for the most part.

@Stuart-Greer, correct. Would be nice yes.
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

do you mean that the beta version has less functionality than the original application? So maybe the final version will integrate this functionality? I very often navigate without a network and there as it is, it's a lack for me, but maybe I'm the only one using it like that. -
I normally navigate in offline mode. I would like to be able to follow my route on the map without actually navigating a route. GPS browsing mode. The ability to zoom out for a larger view would be great. Unfortunately in offline mode the map detail is almost non existent.

Personally I think it is VERY worthwhile. But it is a fresh new app and still under development.
Indeed, looking up addresses without internet connection is at the moment not available. Probably the only feature of the old app that someone will ever miss. Bare in mind that Navigation is mainly targeted at riding scenic tours.
In the end there will be no choice. The "old" Navigation platform will be discontinued in favor of Navigation Next. This is not by choice of MRA, but is due to deprecation of the Here platform on which it was built.

I agree with your point of view and the comparison is not my goal but I wanted to remove my gps for the benefit of this application and as it stands it is not possible. I myself am an industrial developer and I 'update and retrofit of obsolete applications and I have to renew all the functionalities or even improve the applications. However, I test this application day after day and I realize that it is intended to be connected with the outside world, it is a choice that I do not discuss -

On the other side, if you are looking after a non-connected device for A2B routing, any 20 year old TomTom or Garmin will do.
Scenic tours are usually prepared beforehand, with the online planner tool. You cannot use that without internet connection to begin with. The Navigation part of MRA Mobile is completely designed to be able to ride those routes off-line. But some features are still in development. Perhaps even looking up addresses will be implemented. I really don't know. But there will always be audiences that are better off using more conventional GPS units.

In fact either you do not read or you do not understand what I am saying. This application is great and the new functions that are developed there are very functional. Simply a motorcycle is not a car and the multifunctionality of an application brings together all the functions in a single device. It's just a matter of common sense. Here is to close our discussion and thank you for the advice for the use of a 20-year-old gps! -
