Starting navigation on Android Auto

[Albyus]

Hi everyone, I've recently become a full MyRoute subscriber. I have a question, yesterday I tried to start the navigation on Android Auto (Carpuride) but everything stopped on the screen, to make the navigation work, I had to start My Route App on the smartphone. Is this correct? Shouldn't it automatically open the application on your smartphone by clicking on the Android Auto screen? TNX !

Hi. I've experienced the same thing. A stop on the journey can be a bit of a nightmare. Sometimes navigation resumes from Android Auto but often the phone is needed. Sometimes I find even then that the pointer and map on the Chigee (in my case) don't update at all and remains static. I then pull over again, go back to my phone and start navigation and the phone screen goes solid grey and the app locks completely. It's a total lottery.

I think some more work on Android Auto is imminent. I trust it will get there, but for now I bought Sygic for use with Android Auto. MRA was just hanging too often, and I was having to pull over too frequently to get my phone out.

@Tim-Watson ciao!!! anche io sto pensando di cambiare ma mi da parecchio fastidio aver speso 149€ per un'applicazione che poi non userò

I have struggled with Sygic recently because it has made a real mess of GPX files I have opened. Its routing is just crazy if the GPX is not simple and created for TomTom. So I went back to MRA last weekend, but MRA crashed twice in the first mile.

So now I am back to my BMW Nav 6 or just Google Maps via AA.

I still think MRA and AA will be good - hopefully for the next riding season!

@Tim-Watson speriamo risolvano tutti questi problemi, io avevo provato anche calimoto ma purtroppo non è compatibile con AA. A questo punto faccio come te, torno ad usare Google Map sperando risolvano presto tutti i problemi

Ik heb hetzelfde probleem met Android Auto op mijn Maxca C5 pro als deze van de stroom wordt onderbroken. Na her opstarten van mijn Maxca staat MRA op tilt het enige om MRA weer werkend te krijgen is de app op mijn telefoon te sluiten en opnieuw op te starten. Erg frustrerend nu ik net Life Time abonnement heb afgesloten en het werkt niet naar behoren. Ik hoop/verwacht van MRA dat ze hier aan gaan werken want we zijn niet de enigen met dit probleem.

@Mart-van-Walderveen si, anche perchè, ripeto, waze e google maps funzionano correttamente
