I surely hope that my 2 main frustrations will be addressed:

• Selecting the waypoint to skip to is an inhumanitary task. Make the waypoint selectable from the screen instead of having to next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, until WP 88 or so...

• The option "start from nearest waypoint" does not stick. after loading a route, or restarting the app it defaults back to "start from beginning". This should be a systemwide option that sticks to what you tell it to do.

There really is not as much confusion as it seems. Why would anyone think an app that DOES NOT carry Navigation in the name has anything to do with navigation, While MRA Navigation always has been the navigation app? There has always been MRA (as short for myroute-app) as a route planner in two versions. One for the web and one for mobile use. It's really not that hard.

And that Next comes after the first is also no brainbreaker. What comes after Next is a surprise for now and not really a concern.

I think it's the people calling everything MRA (while it is not) are causing there own confusion.

@Tim-Thompson, I see a lot of "looking at Scenic" comments from you. I Think Scenic is a great Navigation tool, and MRA can indeed learn a lot from it. But If you think Scenic is such a great app, there is nothing holding you back from using that one. I don't feel the need for MRA to resemble Scenic that much. Like these colors, it is important not to have as many indistinguishable colors, but as less as needed contrastful colors.

I did not find this a boring story!

Nice to see the team growing, but please always remember the small roots you came from. It is a pleasure doing business with a small company that takes customer comments seriously. For me personally that is a VERY big benefit over the big names in Navigationland. And it is also the reason I take effort in commenting and replying to questions on this forum. I try to be an ambassador for MRA, but do not need the forum-title. I don't want it to become an obligation

It is really amazing to see how much MRA and Navigation have matured in such a short time! Congrats on that!

I think if maps become choosable in Navigation, it will add more issues for people with routes not being equal due to settings within the app. It will add complexity we don't want.

There was a thread on this issue some time ago.
Routes that are opened once, are kept in memory for an unconfirmed time. I (on Android) am still able to load and navigatie some of the routes I opened back in september without issues. When I go on vacation and load all day-routes once on wifi before I leave, I am able to navigate all those routes without ever connecting to internet on my vacation address. Just make sure to download the needed maps off-line, and place your app in offline-mode. It would be nice if this forum would be kept clean from all untrue statements...

@Stanisław said in Suggestion: Mark routes for visibility in Navigation (Next):

... but in paralell with whole directory structure available for browsing

This is asked for SOOO many times, that I cannot imagine it not being implemented

@matt-flaming said in Navigating via MRA Navigation...:

@mark-panarusky said in Navigating via MRA Navigation...:

Is there someway to organize or reorder the routes?

No.

One of the many issues we have with it.

Yes, there is, it is called events. I usually make an event, and add the routes of a multi-day trip to it. In Navigation you open events instead of routes. This way you keep routes that belong to each other nicely together. But of course it would be nice if the folder-structure would equal that of MRA routeplanner. They are working on it (I read somewhere here on the forum).

I know it is not a real substitute for the missing folder structure, but this can come in handy:
If you change the name of a route, and save it without actually changing the name, the route will appear at the top of the list in navigation. This gives you a handle to put the current routes at the top of the list.

As a fact, I found it to be quite handy that the lastly added or changed routes are being put on top, because it is most likely that those are most likely the routes that have my current interest.

@Timo-Martosatiman-MRA said in [MRA Navigation Next first video!]

• Examples of who does what right like @Herko-ter-Horst , providing TomTom Go as an example (including what we do better

I have no screenshot like Herko, but what I realy liked about my Zumo are the configurable datafields. As a fact, my suggestion to place all datafields at one side of the screen comes from there. If I remember correctly the Zumo offers 6 datafields that can filled in as wished with about 12 options like Speed, Time, Time to destination, Time to next guidance, and some other. One of them I really appreciated was Height (from GPS data), always nice when riding twisties in mountain areas.

I really like the idea of a tap to hide all that!

EDIT: actualy I do have a screenshot, just not my own

Of course I do not want to have that same look, but the user definable dashboards are certainly a nice gimmick.

@Joseph-D-Livingood

• Open your route
• Click "Save as"
• Choose .pdf as filetype
• Click "Save"
• Enjoy!

@Nick-Carthew, Ah, that makes sense. I already thought that is was a mistake.

I am being named in a forum I don't have access to?

@Giuseppe-Marino-0 said in PREFERENCES FOR EACH ROUTE IN A PATH:

I explain better my need. I make a journey that in part I want to be a motorway because the normal road is too long but then, when it's convenient for me, I want to leave the motorway and continue the journey on the normal panoramic road. This is a very common situation in Italy, Croatia, Southern France and Spain

That's a common situation everywhere I guess... Any GPS device I know takes you to the start of the route the quickest way anyway, so it does not make real sense to adapt the route to your starting point anyhow. Just leave WP1 at where the panoramic route starts.

Looks good!
When will the public beta be released?

@Herko-ter-Horst, Yes Herko, I can see it could be of use to some, but in the whole it would bring an enormous layer of extra complexity that wil not be of use for the community as a whole. And of course your remark on the ferries is very valid.

The "other maps not being for navigation purposes" was meant in the context of the MRA planner. For those maps the dedicated GPS devices are the ones navigating, not any MRA product.

@Joe-Rebele, For use with the Navigation app (the current one as well as the Next one), you need to use Here map. The TomTom map is there for people using TomTom device, the OSM map is there because... it's free... and probably because some other apps use those.

I would NOT like to see all those maps available in Navigation, since there is no purpose for it. Next users need only the best map. Other maps are only there for compatibility with other devices. They are there for planning purposes, not for navigation purposes. Just use the Here map for planning, and the compare function if you want to make your route equal for other users.

SurveyMonkey is a generic tool that you have to config yourself as a customer. So blaming the subcontractor is like calling out to Wordpress for blaming someones ugly website. As far as the private information goes, that is nothing more than already is in your MRA account, except for the device email address if that is not the same is which one you registered your MRA account.

Yeah... for the rest its ugly...
I am afraid it was a rush job. As a betatester I am willing to take it in a bit more than a usual customer. The software is Beta, but the survey apparently too

Obviously you've to read is as "back" & "next"

Obviously, that form is a mess.

Obviously both is true

I enlisted but I have no idea whether I succeeded or not.

I received an e-mail message after registration as confirmation.
TIP: don't use the buttons below each question, bot the ones at the bottom of each page. But I have to agree it is a mess...

@M-Schrijver, Volgens mij werkt dat ook gewoon zo. Wat ze wilden laten zien is dat als je halverwege een route start, je nu veel makkelijker naar het eerstvolgende routepunt kunt navigeren. In de oude app moest je skippen, xx keer op "volgende routepunt" klikken etc.

@Jack-van-Tilburg, @Tim-Thompson and @David-Skinner, I could suggest to ask in a google forum to implement GPX export, but... yeah.... I think we all would do good to teach people who share Google Maps routes that there are better methods for it
