I live on the coast of North Devon between Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks. This is a beautiful part of the UK and I and my wife Hannah have many places to ride our motorcycles.
We love touring on our motorcycles and use both MRA Navigation and a TomTom Rider 500 for Navigating.
I am a mentor within the MyRoute-app RouteXpert framework and can help out with most of your queries regarding route planning.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master I use Route, just because I've never tried using Tracks. I think I know how to generate a Track and convert it to a Route. I just can't help thinking that gives the Zumo too many opportunities to take me up some dark alley.....or worse a Toll Road !
But what the hell, let's boldly go and I'll give it a try !
Add more route points to force your Zumo to take you the way that you wish to go.
@Pierre-c The best thing you can do is make a ticket for this problem. The technical team will then be able to help.
@Steve-Lynch Like yourself, the iPhone and TomTom issues don't affect me. I think what is peeing new TomTom users off the most is the fact that TomTom devices are being sold with marketing saying that they are compatible with iPhones and they're clearly not. People pay for a service that they can't and don't receive! TomTom blame Apple and Apple blame TomTom - well I never!
@Steve-Lynch And TomTom have a long ongoing issue where IPhone users can’t access live traffic events etc via MyDrive. Several botched attempts to cure it have been released all promising that it’s finally fixed - it’s still a problem for thousands of users!
MRAs open and transparent policy of acknowledging problems and then getting on with fixing them puts them head and shoulders above the giants in the industry.
Keep up the good work MRA

@Nick-Carthew Don't mention Brexit. It's part of my daily job and a total nightmare. I don't want this to end in a political row, but I have never met any person, british or not, that could give me one real world benefit for anyone.
and Yes, I am dreaming to go the the UK later in november this year for another hobby (Telford IPMS scale modelling event). Done that for many years with a whole group (16 or something) as a kind of modelling pilgrimage; This year we would be 8 maximum. The rest does not want to go anymore -fear of customs-anger for brexit (if they don't want us anymore ...)-uncertainly about legal and insurance situation in case of an accident ...
I agree, politics should not be discussed on a navigation forum, but as you haven’t met anyone to give you a real world benefit, let me just say:
The UK vaccine programme has proved to be far better than the EU fumbled attempt and despite the EU making it incredibly difficult for the UK, Nissan has announced over £400million of investment in the UK post Brexit. Us Brits are still European, nothing has changed. Johnny Foreigner will still be made to feel very welcome when he visits the UK despite what you might read or hear from the politically motivated media.
As for legal matters, nothing has changed, your license and insurance is still valid and as before, you’ll need to bring your vehicle registration document the same as Brits do when we go abroad.
I understand that the UK is a bit of a Mecca when it comes to scale models. Timo ordered some from the UK for himself last Christmas. (They arrived ok so did my new MRA RouteXpert jacket, it arrived from MRA HQ two days after posting)
Tell your buddies that there is nothing to fear and they won’t notice any change at all.
@PAD-0 In fairness to Timo, I believe there was a bug that changed the icon colour. He’s enjoying a well earned rest at the moment but I’m sure that he will correct it on his return.
@Drabslab There aren’t many travellers that haven’t encountered speed cameras in France. I believe that since Brexit it will be more difficult to pursue those from the UK. 
@Con-Hennekens said in Glove friendly buttons.:
Yes I did exactly that. Ordered a small spool of RVS thread on Amazon and it works beautifully!
I can probably give 1500 other pairs of gloves the same treatment with that 2 euro spool
We should start a business with @StefanHummelink 
@Drabslab said in Awful lettertype?:
@StefanHummelink No need to apologise
but this is what I get:
the menu has become much harder to see and the letters seem scetchy... or my eyesight has deteriorated enourmously the last month or so.
I have asked Timo if the icons in the header can be made more visible, he's going to look at it. On the whole I think the forum has a cleaner look, just my opinion though.
