Hello all,
I am a new user from Denmark, just initiated the subscription.
Professional life as a Flight Engineer, and when off the work, using a lot of time on my bicycles (gravel bike/road bike), or motorcycle (Honda NC700 XA), or servicing these vehicles.I have been looking for a good route planner to replace the Garmin BaseCamp, an the MRA planner seems to be the way forward.
The MRA planne or app can export nicely to my Garmin XT, and show both the waypoints and shaping points, which really is what I were looking for.
My operating system (FreeBSD, Unix like system) do not have the function to allow the connection directly from MRA planner to export to my Garmin XT, but this is what I am used to, so not really and issue.
The way I build my routes is on the MRA route planner, and then export the route gpx from the mobile phone MRA App, then "share" the gpx with the Garmin "Drive" app, which in turn will send it to the Garmin XT... works very well.
I am on both motorcycle and gravel bicycle with route planning, but from a start, only using MRA route planner for motorcycle trips.
Brgds. Harry
