@Steve-Lynch said in Slight route differences between Sat Nav devices:

And if you are a bit OCD like me and don’t like seeing a Waypoint named “Waypoint” rather than the Road Name, then just move the waypoint a tiny bit (Zoom fully in) and it will pull in the Road name etc.

I share your OCD pain

@Reinhard-32 said in Slight route differences between Sat Nav devices:

Yes, I use the Toolkit, Expand function for it (as a Gold member)

When you use the expand function, always check the new waypoint positions as sometimes these can be added close to roundabouts, junctions, or bridges. The new waypoints are easy to find in the waypoint list as they will be titled waypoint rather than having a street address.

@Jack-van-Tilburg It's ok Jack I have restored @Matt-Flaming s posts. We are transparent on this forum and if someone has a gripe I think that it is only fair for others to be able to read their views.

Where else would you suggest providing feedback and what’s wrong with leaving feedback in this forum?

Nothing, but why can't we have feature request threads like other products? I've seen other threads get ignored because "we have a feature requests thread already" (even though those threads are closed to further discussion...

There was a feature request topic, the topic was closed because the suggested features were included in the current roadmap and are being implemented. No doubt that there will be another feature request topic when the current roadmap is complete.

You have to understand that this software isn't cheap. I paid good money for a whole cohesive solution, and got a half working product. I am going to remain bitter about the lack of motivation to actually FIX the problems that have been reported, and the lack of motivation to improve a product. I bought into the entire thing with the understanding that I could use the planner and the nav app together...only to get the planner with the nav app being completely and utterly useless.

I have to again disagree with you. There is not a lack of motivation on MRAs behalf to fix and improve their product. Why would a young and expanding company lack motivation? New features and improvements to existing features are rolled out regularly.
Have you ever tried to contact any of the bigger players? (Almost impossible) For instance, TomTom have had an ongoing problem for over a year where iPhones cannot connect via MyDrive to TomTom Rider devices despite all of their marketing suggesting they are compatible. TomTom refuse to address the problem.

I have mentioned before my thoughts on waypoints being TOO sensitive with the entire thing, but was told, "YOU JUST HAVE TO ZOOM IN INCREDIBLY CLOSE TO ADJUST YOUR WAYPOINT! GOSH!". WHY? I don't have to in other planning apps. Weird. Again, this points directly to some users in the forums defending the product, rather than acknowledging that others might have valid points.

I don’t have a problem with positioning route points accurately on the road, in fact I find it quite pleasing.
I have to ask, and I’m not being confrontational or awkward, but if you find other route planners easier to use and more to your liking, why persevere with MRA? I’m genuinely interested to know.

It just seems that when someone says "This is where the product could improve", someone comes along and says, "No, you're just doing/thinking/looking at it the wrong way. You have to do it like this." When I am not referring to HOW it can be done in the current system, but rather it could be better if you provided these options.

Matt, can you point to posts where you have made suggestions for improvements and have been told “No, you’re just doing/thinking/looking at it the wrong way”.
MRA have always been open to suggestions for improvement.

As a user, nearly every idea getting shot down by others in the forum is discouraging, and makes me use the system less and less.

With the greatest respect Matt, I don’t recall you making any suggestions and subsequently being shot down for them. Again, can you point me to these please.

We have no say-so in the NAV app, there is no roadmap published for it, and the roadmap for the planner is published in a manner that doesn't encourage new ideas or modifications. "This is our plan for the system, deal with it"

How come we don't have request threads (that we can vote for features)?

The current roadmap for the route planner came from requests from users that were voted for in this forum.

How come we don't have any way to provide feedback other than creating a post or comment only to get shot down by long time veterans of the forum as "Do it this way. The way you want to do it will never exist"?

Where else would you suggest providing feedback and what’s wrong with leaving feedback in this forum?

@Matt-Flaming said in Reverse Route:

LOL.

I should know better by now, that this forum is just an echo chamber of praise for the product, rather than any acceptance that there are areas of improvement that could be made.

That’s a very unfair and incorrect comment Matt. There have been many topics reporting issues in this forum, these have been acknowledged and more often than not, resolved.

I know HOW I could fix the WP, but I shouldn't have to...that's kind of the point of having a smart system that handles stuff like this.

As I said in a previous reply; as far as I know there are no GPS devices that will accurately reverse a route that has route points on a dual carriageways. The trick is to know the product and it’s limitations.

So in your mind, if I find myself on the route and a WP is off by a bit, I should stop, and adjust the route, then somehow re-export this route out and pass it out to my group?

No, you should thoroughly check the route first by fully zooming in to each route point before sharing the route to your group. I would also turn the traffic on to check for any roadworks or closures for a group ride.

I'm astonished by the apologetic and defensive nature of this forum. It seems that any comment that goes against the current design is met with "NO, YOU'RE WRONG".

I’m astonished that after all of the help that you’ve received from this forum, you’re still having problems!

@Matt-Flaming The solution is simple and quick (less than a minute for most routes). Fully zoom into route point 1 by using the magnifying glass adjust if required and then use the right arrow to move to RP 2. Do this for all RPs and your route will be trouble free.

The same advice for reversing a route.

@David-Rudgley You should try connecting an iPhone to a TT Rider via MyDrive

Hi @David-Rudgley Yes. there are individual settings for route preferences; for instance: Avoid motorways, toll roads etc etc. Theses of course should all be turned off.
