Great Progress on the navigation app. Thankyou!

I've noticed a number of negative posts regarding the navigation app recently. Some of which I think relate to phone issues or user error. For context I came to MRA for the route planning tool but signed for the navigation app as well. Having been a garmin user for 20 years, I wondered if the navigation app would become good enough to tempt me to switch. This is my latest post on the app on the UKGSER forum.
Another little update to 4.2.1-322. This is now a very, very good route planning and navigation tool. Plotted and executed a 91 mile back roads run this morning with 41 waypoints and one Via point and almost the same number of turns and junctions. First time I've tried it on Android Auto on the Africa twin without replicating the route on the Zumo XT and it was faultless. Phone charged and did not overheat (though I haven't had this problem for some time) and behaved as expected when I deliberately missed a few waypoints. Could I use this now as my primary navigation device........absolutely. Particularly as the button arrangement on the Honda allows control of the map through Android Auto.
I know you are a small team many congratulations.

@Mzokk Thanks a lot for your kind words
Greatly appreciate posts like this as we indeed are a small team and really push ourselves to create the best app / routeplanner there is!
Glad you enjoy using the app and that is works well!

Hi Corjan, I have been beta testing the new route planner on my iPhone. I am not sure about it yet. It is very easy to add waypoints unexpectedly while editing an existing route, particularly with big fingers like mine. I will provide more feedback as I become further acquainted with the app.
Just if I may change subjects, at some stage would it be possible to show upcoming petrol stations on the route in CarPlay as currently implemented on an iPhone? Carl -
