      I've been using MyRoute App Gold for six months now and I have to say that I'm totally disappointed. Under Android Auto (v13.2.644464), the app regularly crashes after several hours, often starts without sound, which then suddenly reappears a few waypoints later or is lost again during the rest of the journey. Or the synchronization with the GPS signal is lost and then only the current position is displayed, but without location-based information such as speed limits. Of course, the planned navigation then also stops. What's particularly bad is that you can't get to a working app again by restarting the app or the smartphone (Motorola edge 20 pro/Android 13), you can only switch to Ami Go or Google Maps, which of course work without any problems. If I start a route with my home as waypoint 1 and drive off, I am always (!) taken back to my house in a circle and I could continue the whole thing until the tank is empty or I skip waypoint 1. That can't be true! All in all, MyRoute app is the worst navigation experience I've had so far, even though it sounds so powerful and convincing in theory. In the meantime, I have little hope that it will make the necessary progress in the coming months to ever be used safely on the road.

          @Thomas-Piechocki I can't comment on the Android story as an Apple user. What I can explain is the process of following a set route you've created yourself where waypoint 1 is your home address. This waypoint is referred to as a via point in MRA. The navigation system will always guide you back to that point until you pass through it. The recommendation is to place that point a few hundred meters away from your home, so the navigation directs you there. Once you've reached it, the navigation will continue automatically.

            I use MyRoute app 4.3.3 and HERE map because - if I have understood correctly - this is the app's default map.
