MRA Community Forum

Hello, The support team gave me a workaround to use and it works so far, you should open a support ticket if you haven't already. 1 - they reset my subscription 2 - instructed me to open my route on my phone before the bike booted up Hope this helps Steve

@Brian-McG Yes, the Toolkit compare is a handy function. For safety, you definitely want to place waypoints where the other base maps agree. Having to worry about the accuracy of a base map (any map) is a new concept for me. I've developed hundreds of routes in Basecamp (HERE) and inRoute (Apple), executed on Garmin GPS units, and have never encountered this. I know -- different environments, different behaviors. I don't plan to use the MRA Next app again anytime soon, so at this point it's a non-issue. As I type, I'm setting up a new Garmin Zumo XT3, and that's going to be my primary route execution layer. Like I have been doing with my Zumo XT, I'll execute routes developed in MRA using the OSM base map. I've been snake bit using MRA HERE too many times.

@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!

Here's what I personally do.... I never turn auto-recalculation on. I'd much rather find my own way back to my route as typically when I create a route in MRA I want to follow it exactly, and if I do have to deviate from it I want to decide how to get back on it. If I want the gps to automatically calculate my route I prefer just to use Waze or Google Maps. That's fine most of the time in my car, but on the R1300GS or Spyder I almost always want the gps to follow my predetermined route. As I mentioned I do use 1.2 .gpx format almost exclusively as it follows my intended route as it's forced to follow the track which is what I want. I don't use Basecamp, Explore, etc. etc. or any of the other Garmin apps with the XT*. I find them to be unnecessary and frustrating. And yes.... I have spent many hours learning their strengths, weaknesses and quirks. I'd rather have direct control over downloading my routes and tracks to the XTs and deleting the old files out of the gpx folder when they're no longer necessary. For me, this method is very straightforward, foolproof and easy for me to understand. If I'm sharing a route with a variety of other riders who may or may not have Garmin units that can properly import 1.2 files I simply share the track file. Virtually all gps units can create a route from a track that will follow the intended path. The bottom line is for me what I see on my computer screen when I'm creating a route in MRA is what I expect to see and follow on my Garmin XT3, and the easiest way for me to accomplish that is to save the route in 1.2 .gpx format, manually transfer it to my gps and turn off automatic recalculation. I always double check the distance of my route in MRA with what my Garmin shows after import and if they don't match VERY closely after import I investigate to see why they don't by showing both the track and route in the Garmin, then fix the issue in MRA and reimport the route.

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 !
