MRA Community Forum

@Rob-Verhoeff I have also been looking for this. Found it but you have to select default vehicles on the page. I will need to do some playing also. Useful if the support page directed you to this page to configure the vehicle. As per my previous post, to have some ‘info’ as to what the information does for the planning would also be helpful.

Hi Just come back from a 11 day trip from the UK to south of France via the route Napoleon and the Route Des Grande Alps. The primary navigation device was a Garmin DriveSmart 66, with routes created on an iMac using MRA (Gold, HERE maps as used on Garmin). As a back-up, as this was our first time using MRA abroad, I had my iPhone using MRA Navigation Next. Below is a summary of my findings from using the two devices. Garmin DriveSmart 66 Excellent for 9 of the 11 days and always able to see satellites and provide navigation. On two of the days, on the Route Napoleon and around Gerardmer, the SatNav completely ignored most of the waypoints and tried to take us a completely different route. On the Route Napoleon we had a short stretch (~10 miles) of autoroute planned, but the satnav wanted to route us ~90 miles on autoroute all the way to the south coast of France. I spotted this straight away and switched to MRA Navigation Next on my iPhone which followed the planned route perfectly. Later on in the holiday, when starting the day near Gerardmer, the satnav wanted to take us west rather than east well away from our planned route. On this occasion we could not use MRA Navigation Next on my iPhone as the mobile roaming was not working (this happened for 3 days in mid France and only returned to normal after we entered Belgium). Therefore, we had to use a hardcopy of the route directions that I had taken with us as the ultimate back up, until the satnav eventually corrected to the planned route. Another observation from using the Garmin, when part of the route does a loop mid route, the Garmin ignores the loop even if there is a waypoint in the middle of the loop. MRA Navigation Next does not do this and follows the route correctly. MRA Navigation Next This seems to follow the planned route perfectly, but our experience with losing mobile roaming and also poor internet in some places means it could not be relied upon. Also, using a mobile fixed to the car windscreen as the sole means of navigation means the mobile is not readily available for taking photos! Also the incessant danger alerts, which I couldn't work out how to switch off, were rather annoying. Conclusion Overall my preference for MRA navigation was the satnav due to the guaranteed availability of the satellite signals compared to mobile roaming. However, I would like to understand why the satnav sometimes decides to ignore multiple waypoints (note that the navigation settings in MRA and the Garmin were both set to fastest route) and how to prevent this.

I have also noticed this with the app. As an example, searching for a car park in a town resulted in no items but it is clearly marked on the map.

@Willy-Supercorsa Ja, als je vriend zich registreert voor een gratis basisaccount, kun je elkaars routebibliotheek zien en delen Je kunt de verschillen tussen de rekeningen hier zien als je op vergelijken klikt https://www.myrouteapp.com/nl/shop yes if your friend registers for a free basic account, you can see & share each others route library you can see the differences between the accounts here https://www.myrouteapp.com/nl/shop

Thanks everyone. I finally got it. I love the connector to export. Something I learned on the garmin site was 1.2 doesn't transfer right which is what I experienced. I exported 1.1 and it all worked great. Thank goodness as I leave Saturday and they are predicting rain. Don't want to leave my phone out in the rain. Thanks again to everyone for your help. Mike

Thanks for all the work, the communication on the web site has now also been improved. I didn't suspect anything bad, just reunderstood the topic of Lifetime. The comparison of the functions per subscription was helpful. Klick hier zur Info Proposal: A discount for beta testers in the Next whether navigation - Next or route planning Next would be a recognition for many many hours in the beta area that seriously try to show MRA points in the update to stimulate reflection before it is published for everyone.

@Ioan-Dragulescu No, not at all. But I switched to the DMD Nor7e tablet a few months ago.

@KurtvPoucke Jazeker Op de camper beurs in Utrecht van 30 september tot 4 oktober

En de voorbij week in de buurt van Nancy DIRTY, SOFTROAD en OFFROAD gereden vie een TRACK (SPOOR) met MRA-NN en het werkt ook voor 99% prima.

Dat is totaal wat anders dan ik bedacht had. Ik had toch echt verwacht dat het verschil (aan of uit) toch echt wel of geen verkeers info meenemen in de routeberekening. Dus als een weg afgesloten zou zijn, deze info keihard negeren en gewoon de weg blijven volgen.

@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 !
