@Jörgen if it has to avoid "Highways" then via Colonge is the option OSM works out as the best route on MRA your perception of what is & is not a highway will differ to OSM's plus MRA messes about with the settings for the OSM routing calculator, so what you get can be hugely unexpected & different to what the OSM site may show

Wij zijn in Italië op vakantie en gebruiken MRA i.z.m. CarPlay. De gesproken aanwijzingen (bijvoorbeeld: 3e afslag op de rotonde of rechtsaf) zou wat mij betreft volstaan zonder dat de volledige straatnaam wordt genoemd ( in Italië soms wel erg lang en voor mij nietszeggend) Is het mogelijk zoals op mijn XT2 daar een keuze in te maken. Gesproken aanwijzingen helemaal uitzetten is voor mij geen optie. Intussen is MRA een fantastisch navigatiesysteem,

@corjan-meijerink Today on the way back I suddenly had the following problem. For MRA navigation: Forward track on the map so the position arrow was slightly behind the yellow track this led to the fact that a departure / turn in a small place was taken wrong the spinning of the card was also annoying, thus very irritating Solution: MRA navigation stopped and route restarted ... then it was okay. Cause - Photo with the MRA app Had previously taken a photo with the phone to see it later in the track. Maybe there is a connection, because we had a good start and somehow it was after I had taken a photo with the cell phone. iPhone Xr in Cradel, Inductive Charging, MRA Beta MRA 5.2.1 (486) ——- Heut auf der Rückfahrt hatte ich plötzlich folgendes Problem. Bei der MRA Navigation: voreilenden Track auf der Karte also der Positionspfeil war etwas hinter dem gelben Track das führte dazu das man eine Abfahrt / Abbiegung in einem kleinen Ort falsch genommen hat das drehen der Karte war auch dadurch nacheilend, somit sehr irritierend Lösung: MRA Navigation gestoppt und Route neu gestartet … dann wars okay. Ursache - Foto mit der MRA App Hatte zuvor ein Foto mit dem Handy gemacht um es später im Track zu sehen. Vielleicht gibt es einen Zusammenhang, denn wir waren ja gut gestartet und irgendwie wars nach dem ich ein Foto mit dem Handy gemacht hatte. iPhone Xr im Cradel, Induktives Laden, MRA Beta MRA 5.2.1 (486)

@John-S-Parry i agree.

@Simon-James-Hancock I'm sorry.... I wasn't thinking. Those instructions are for the MRA app, not the Garmin. I need to pay closer attention!! As @nick-carthew said, ideally you will avoid this situation by placing your starting location at least a couple of hundred yards/meters beyond where you actually want to start and that way you'll always past through your starting point. That will completely eliminate this issue in the future. However, as a workaround you can try this..... When you press "Go" to start a route in the Garmin, you're given three options as to where you want to start..... The beginning point, closest point (shaping point) or the destination. You had no doubt selected the beginning point and as far as I know there's no way to skip that once you've told the Garmin to go there Since you don't have any shaping points in your route to select as your "closest" point, I THINK in this situation the only way to skip the beginning point if you had entered the route beyond it would be to stop the route in the Garmin, re-enter it and when asked where you want to start tell it the destination. I'm not 100% sure that would work but I just created a test route of a couple of hundred miles from my house without any shaping points in MRA, saved the route in 1.2 format and imported it into my Garmin XT3 and told the Garmin to make the starting point the destination, and it followed my planned 1.2 route exactly as it was shown in MRA, so I'm fairly certain that will work. I thought about suggesting turning off auto-recalculation, but since your starting point is a via point and you've told the Garmin that's where you want to start, I don't think that's going to work. I'm sure there are others here with far more experience with MRA and Garmin than I have, so if there are other methods I'm sure they'll let us know and we'll all learn something new!

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 )

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 !
