no clue what so ever maybe @corjan-meijerink knows

Hello everyone, After a 9,200 km trip from Romania to Nordkapp and back https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/11248/experience-with-mra-on-nordkapp-trip?_=1786352039527, which went flawlessly (routes prepared in the web planner, without using the mobile planner or track recording), I’ve just returned from another 2,000 km trip from Romania to Montenegro and back, where I experienced a few issues that I’d like to share. Just to clarify, on both trips I used the same app version: 5.2.0, in Online mode, with the app running on my phone and connected to Android Auto devices (on the bike: Chigee AIO-5 Play; in the car: the built-in system on a Renault/Dacia Sandero). The first day, from Romania to Serbia, around 600 km, was perfect. The route was prepared at home using the web planner, and I also tried the track recording. I made multiple stops along the way without any issues. After reaching my destination, I saved the tracklog and it uploaded successfully. Happy day! On the second day, from Serbia to Montenegro, I received some advice from friends with new objectives and decided to modify the route and go through Bosnia and Herzegovina. I made the changes using the mobile planner and started navigating the following day. The first issue I noticed was that the planned route line was not following the road, as you can see in the attached photo. [image: 1786351881280-img-20260802-wa0021.jpg] After navigating for a while through Bosnia, I reached an area with no data coverage. The route then disappeared, and a spinning wheel appeared on the right side of the screen, but the route was not recalculated. I continued navigating visually, following the grey planned route line, and after around 10 minutes, the blue route line came back. [image: 1786351919951-20260801_143551-resized.jpg] After reaching Montenegro and trying to save the tracklog, I received an error saying that some coordinates could not be found, or something similar. Unfortunately, I lost the recorded track. On the last day of the vacation, when I was heading back to Romania and loaded a planned route created in the web planner, the app simply crashed. [image: 1786351969514-20260807_111835-resized.jpg] So, overall, this experience was not quite as smooth as the first trip, but I’m hoping things will improve. If needed, I can also provide the app logs. Thanks !

Yes, we have already driven about 300 km each for two days with the latest version V5.2.1(488), runs very well in the mobile phone applications so in the MRA... Thank you for that —- Ja wir sind jetzt schon zwei Tage jeweils ca. 300 km mit der neusten Version V5.2.1(488) gefahren, läuft sehr gut in der Handy Anwendungen also in der MRA… Danke dafür [image: 1785786128819-img_0676.jpeg]

Go to your Routelab account page and change the language to Italian. Then click on Support and you'll see the manuals are in Italian as well. Small warning while you're in there: it took me ages to get into my Routelab account at all last summer. I was on the road, and hotel and campsite wifi kept dying halfway through the login — I was convinced my account was broken. It was the network, not the site. Put a VPN on the laptop with an endpoint back home and it loaded first try, every time since. Picking one took longer than fixing the problem though, most reviews are just marketing. The roundup on https://kiesly.nl was the only one that actually compared them on speed and stability. Handy if you plan routes from abroad.

@Mzokk said: That would be brilliant. In my case it was trying to route me half way round the world to get back to the next via point when I didn't take the first turn. I got out today and tested 1.2 off-route recalculation with my older Zumo XT unit. I found the behavior to be the same as what I experienced with my XT3. When I turned left on a side road from my main road route, the XT almost immediately recognized Off-Route, and prompted me for action. I pressed re-calculate, and the XT immediately tried to turn me around through a looping side street. I continued, and then the XT tried to get me to do a U-Turn. The XT was like a Pitbull on a bone. I know how this story would continue, so I did a U-Turn and returned to the main road at the Off-Route entry point as directed, just like I did with the XT3. I get that this is just one scenario, and you may have encountered a different situation which triggered a different action.

enjoy the country side. hope it isn't raining cats and dogs

@Brian-McG

Welcome! Hope your trip goes smoothly! Enjoy!

I know the area of the first two well, and they look very good to me. Just rode 1/3rd of route 1 this afternoon! And I like the info waypoints. Only one minor comment: some of the waypoints are just in front of a vital turn (route 1 waypoints 7 & 45, for example). I worry that the waypoint announcement might clash with the turn instruction (if people are using audio). Both have waypoints after the junction, so 7 & 45 (and any similar pre-junction ones) might be redundant.

@Lynchy67 It is on the list for major maintenance of the website, just like being able to export multiple routes in one go. Please be patient.

@Garry-Davis exactly, that would have been my second advice, but you are one step ahead. You can choose your beloved app, to count a route to the petrolstation

Hi ! So, the bad news is that Transfagarasan is still closed for now, but it should be opened in the next two weeks. You can check the live cam from time to time: https://www.roxy-world.ro/webcam-transfagarasan Good news is that Transalpina was opened about 5 days ago, some of my friends went there already and confirmed this. Enjoy Romania !
