MRA Community Forum

I've been using MyRoute-App routeplanner for several years, building routes, then downloading them to my Garmin Zumo XT. My wife and I just finished a 7100 mile trip across the US and Canada. That was 25 daily routes generated with MRA, with about 1/3 of them getting some modification or re-routing while we were on the road. I just wanted to thank the developers, support staff and administrators for building a great application. There is a lot of discussion regarding the 'next' version, but whatever comes along, it will be building on a very solid foundation. Well done, folks! My approach for this trip was to build several 'regional' maps, and from those create individual daily routes. That seemed to give me the most flexibility, especially while traveling.

@Brian-McG I thought you might find this interesting. I got out to test executing the route using my new Garmin Zumo XT3. Like MRA at waypoint#7, the XT3 recognized that the actual road did not match the HERE generated route. Zumo XT's have an Off-Route Recalculation option that essentially stops routing until the route rejoins the actual road, which it did further up where the road straightened out. The route re-started automatically with no intervention required on my part. At the same time (side-by-side), I executed the route using the MRA Phone app. I had been playing with Nav Functional settings on the app to try to correct the "turn around" behavior from my first attempt. I enabled the "Skip Waypoints automatically" hoping it would ignore WP#7 and continue onward to WP#8 as it normally would. Well, that didn't work like I thought it would. The skip didn't kick in immediately. It wasn't until I was almost on top of WP#8 before I got a message, and then when I passed WP#8, the app tried to turn me around back to it. It was getting unworkable, so I stopped the route on the app altogther. I'm going to change things up on the app again to try to get a successful run through that segment: Switch to "Offline Navigation" from Online -- I don't know if this will change any behavior, but it's worth it to see if anything changes. "Skip Waypoints automatically" turned OFF -- Maybe a manual skip when the problem with WP#7 first appears will give me a clean path to waypoint#8. "Automatic recalculations" -- I was considering turning that option ON, but my fear is that it will trigger MRA trying to turn me around. If all else fails, maybe I change that on a subsequent attempt. When getting ready to start the route on the app, it's clear that that it knows ahead of time about the issue: [image: 1783791877802-screenshot-2026-07-11-at-9.52.41-am.png] It looks like it has already decided to turn around at WP#7, and double back counterclockwise to the main road (Kanan Road) to reach WP#8. That's not what I want, but....

@martin-white I have experienced that a public file with motorcycle closures for Germany has also caused this message. In the downloaded file were POI s of the signs at the beginning and at the end of the route which is okay but it was also between beginning to end a route in this file. I couldn't see it in MRA and loaded this public file into Basecamp, where I was only able to see it. Then deleted the routes in BaseCamp in the file and there were 106 POI left. I read this file again, and then everything was good. VG [image: 1783781726974-img_0230.jpeg] Link to the file Klick [image: 1783781990155-img_0231.png]

@M.-Schrijver Yes, of course… a friend of mine has one… He opted for the Caretta because he wants to be able to zoom with the Wonderwheel. I, on the other hand, already have the Silverfox C1, so I went for the NOR7E. The Caretta is much bulkier and the mount is quite heavy-duty. And the NOR7E comes with a full licence for the DMD software – that was another reason I chose it. I wouldn’t be without it now ️

The BMW Nav 5 can handle a maximum of 30 announcing waypoints (via points) per route, you can also include up to 125 unannounced shaping points between any two waypoints. You have probably exceeded the Via point (announced waypoint limit.). If you MUST have a route overview you'd probably be better exporting the master route as a Track to the Nav 5 and displaying it beneath the magenta line of your routes.

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 !
