MyRoute-App - worst navigation experience ever
-
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. -

@Thomas-Piechocki Hi Thomas
It might be usefull to take a look at some or even better all of the instruction videos so you can get a better understanding of how the app works. You seem to have made some roukie mistakes causing some basic misunderstanding of how the app worksHonda Goldwing GL1500,

Hi Marinus,
I've been trying to give the MyRoute app a chance for over six months because I'd really like to use it. I'm not talking about the route planner, that works perfectly. And of course I've also studied the various tips and manuals. However, I have not found anywhere that you should not start your route directly at the starting point, but somewhere at a fictitious point nearby; what to do if the sound or the entire navigation is cancelled without a message, the app suddenly starts drawing straight lines like fireworks across the display or stops working completely. I think a sat nav app should be easy to operate and use while driving. I don't see where a lack of understanding or incorrect operation could be responsible for the all-round negative impression. I already understand the operation and functionality. I also don't want to rule out the possibility that the interaction with Android Auto may be a major source of errors, but you should be able to assume that a commercial application will work perfectly within its intended area of use. -
Would you be so kind to share the URL from your route? Make sure it is set public

@Thomas-Piechocki Hi Thomas
It's a piitty that you've ben struggling for 6 months. If you experience problems ask us for help and it will be given to you.
Regarding to the starting point. That had been mentioned lots of times on the forum.
If your start is not good you're bound to get more trouble on the way.
A lot has changed the last 6 months regarding the working of Android Auto. I use it myself frequently and since the last updates almost flawless. It's still work in progress but it has improved a great deal.
