@Anonymouse said: Once they have the navigation app is there a very basic, very bulletproof introductory video and/or walkthrough that I should direct them to? You will need to try the basics well before the trip and check if a few friendly new users can cope with the app. That way will you find the holes in your instructions. AI will give you a good starting point. You do of course have to read it and confirm it hasn't cocked it up, but that's AI for you. Example! MRA Navigation Next: Quick Start Guide From install to navigate Install the App: Download the official MRA Navigation Next app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. Log In: Open the app. Enter the exact email and password used to purchase your subscription or lifetime membership. Open the Route: On the main dashboard, tap Routes & tracklogs (under the "Get started" section). Tap the Groups icon on the bottom menu bar. Select Anonymouse's Group. Tap and open the "The Grand Adventure" route. Prepare: Tap the Navigate button. Launch: Tap Start to begin navigation. Before you leave home Download Offline Maps: Download maps over home Wi-Fi to minimise mobile data: Account (Top-right profile icon on home screen) ➔ Offline maps ➔ Europe ➔ United Kingdom ➔ Download whole region. Carry a portable power bank. ️ Whilst navigating Blue Line: Your active, dynamically updating route path. Follow this / listen to the instructions. White Line: Your original planned route. This shows where you should be if you stray off-course. (Note: The active blue line will automatically recalculate to guide you to the next upcoming waypoint). Next Instruction (top left): Displays your immediate next turn icon, distance countdown, and street name. Second Instruction (sub-indicator): Displays a smaller icon directly below the main turn box, warning you of the following manoeuvre (e.g., a quick right turn immediately after a left fork). Next Waypoint (top right): Displays the number of the specific waypoint you are currently heading towards. ️ Things you can do during the route Zoom the Map: Pinch out with two fingers to zoom out for a high-level view; pinch in to zoom closer into a junction. Change Layout: Tap the Compass icon to cycle through map views (Dynamic Camera tracking is the default). Skip a Waypoint: If you miss a stop or detour around a roadblock, long-press the waypoint indicator in the top-right corner to skip it manually. Your blue line will instantly recalculate to the subsequent waypoint. Stop Navigation: Tap the three dots menu button in the bottom corner and select Stop navigation.

@Thomas-Mikl, The voices are OS and often also phone type dependent. You can only select voices that are available on your phone. Android users are able to install additional TTS apps and voices accordingly. Personally however, I have absolutely no problem with "robotic" voices, on any of my phones.

@Corjan-Meijerink I'm looking forward to trying it out. Let's just hope it doesn't take Google another two weeks, again, until it's available. Wouldn't in-app updates be a better solution, perhaps? This way, you'd have full control what gets (not) released, and to whom...

Is anyone using this unit? Thoughts on it? How does it stack up against Ridernav r7M? Thx!

Very good to know. Thanks for the followup.

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

Dit is SUPER!, ongelooflijk hoe jullie met zo'n kleine groep mensen dat voor elkaar krijgen. Voor allemaal super bedankt en in dit geval Cor-Jan

Ik ben niet meer te helpen, ik ben reddeloos verloren

@Apatrida-2-0 Cuando lo uses, no querrás cambiar. Es el mejor planificador y conjuntamente con su navegador, no tiene rival. Ya hace tiempo que lo uso y ni siquiera exporto los GPX para tenerlos por si he de usar otro navegador... porque no lo he necesitado (por ahora). Saludos, y nos vemos en la carretera (perdon @b0hd1 por el plagio )

@Edwin_M Thank you for sharing our Tool Edwin! Good to hear you like it.

@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 !
