It does, thank you, but in my view it does not compare to the flexibility of a phone.
Each to their own We can only be glad that MRA Planner facilitates all of our choices!
The Planner is Gold. Whenever I get the chance, I push the Planner as the best desktop option available for creating routes. I'm certain I've sold many subscriptions on behalf of MRA.
And I agree with the flexibility of a phone. I run different phone navigation apps (inRoute, OsmAnd) during the non-summer months because it's sometimes a more convenient choice. The summers in the Southwest USA are brutally hot, and a longer ride will invariably shut a phone down as the device tries to protect itself. It's not just an MRA thing -- it applies to any app. It's a very real phenomena.
As I mentioned earlier, I do want to see the app to succeed. I'll continue to do comparative tests to my XT3 to gauge progress. I bought a lifetime subscription back in 2023, and I want to see a return on that investment. When the MRA app gremlins related to skipping waypoints (as well as a few other rough spots) finally get ironed out, it will probably reach consideration for real use. I'm confident it will get there.
