Hi everyone!
It's finally time to tell you about MyRoute-app v6!
[image: 01-header.png]
This is without a doubt the biggest update we have ever made. Over the past months almost every screen of the app has been rebuilt: from navigating to your library, from the route page to free drive. And we added a whole lot of new features along the way
Video's are available in English and Dutch!
This version is available now for iOS. Android will hopefully follow soon.
The app you know, just better
[image: 02-home.png]
Everything is still right where you left it. The home screen, your routes and tracklogs, search, round trips: it all works as easy as you are used to. It just looks a lot better
Every route, one page
[image: 02b-route-page.png]
Every route now has its own page. Take this RouteXpert roadbook tour from Hattem: the photos, the story, every waypoint and the comments, all in one place, with Navigate, the weather and the fly-through right at the top.
Relive your ride, fly through your route
[image: 03-flythrough.png]
Every tracklog now has a fly-through! Relive your ride in 3D: the camera flies along your line with the distance, the time and your altitude on screen, a height profile to scrub through, and your photos rising up right where you took them
[image: 03b-flythrough-route.png]
And before a big ride? Fly through your route, and you know every bend and every pass before you even start the engine
Navigation, completely redesigned
[image: 04-navigation.png]
Navigating is what MyRoute-app is all about, so this is where we put a lot of love. The entire navigation screen has been redesigned:
Your next turn front and centre, with the road numbers just like you see them on the signs
Your speed, the speed limit and your arrival time always in view
The next waypoint and the next fuel station on your route at a glance
Warnings for road signs ahead (hairpins, steep descents, falling rocks and more), each as you like it: off, a beep or spoken
One sheet for the whole trip: your waypoints, skip a waypoint, add a stop, roadblocks and your audio settings
Electric? The app plans your charging stops for you
[image: 05-navigation-sheet.png]
Adding a stop while you ride is now really easy. Fancy fresh fish in Volendam? Pick a place along the way, and it simply becomes part of your route.
Hike, cycle and offroad
[image: 06-hike-cycle-offroad.png]
Big news for everyone who doesn't only ride on tarmac! Walking and cycling routes, and any route you want to ride offroad, now come with their own navigation: you follow the route's line and the app guides you along it.
Tap Walk this route or Ride this route on a walking or cycling route, or Offroad on any other route
On foot and by bike the app reads the turns from the route's line: on screen, with arrows on the map, and spoken ("In 200 m, turn right")
You always see how far it is to the finish, and the app warns you as soon as you leave the route
It works offline too
On MRA Routeplanner Next the turns even come straight from the OpenStreetMap engine, along the exact line of your route, in every travel mode, offroad included
No route at all? Just ride! Free drive now has its own sheet with your distance and time since you started, searching along the way, and saving a nice spot as a POI.
Your own map
[image: 07-maps.png]
Walking, cycling and driving now each have their own online map: OpenStreetMap, OpenCycleMap or the Outdoor map with its paths, tracks and contour lines. Outdoor for walking and OpenCycleMap for cycling are already set for you, and in free drive and offroad you can switch to Outdoor as well. You'll never look at a forest track the same way again And the regular map got new colours too.
CarPlay and Android Auto
With CarPlay or Android Auto connected, your phone can now be a remote: the next instruction, your arrival, the next waypoint and the trip's actions as large tiles. It even works with a handlebar controller.
Round trips
[image: 08-roundtrip.png]
Generating a round trip is still just a few taps, and the result now shows everything you want to know at once. Never been this much fun to let us decide your next adventure!
And many more improvements
[image: 09-more.png]
Show your own routes on the home map
New POI groups, and everything about a place in one view
The RouteXpert library and the activity feed in a new look
Resume a stopped navigation right from the home screen
Open .mra files straight from your files or WhatsApp
Settings now have a search
And a brand new onboarding for new riders
But wait... there's more
[image: 10-next-header.png]
Did you sign up for the beta? Then take a look at what's coming.
This same app, connected to MRA Routeplanner Next, gets a completely new home and a whole bunch of features we have been working on for more than a year. Here's a sneak peek!
MRA Routeplanner Next
[image: 11-next-home.png]
One home for everything: your routes and tracklogs, your trips, your friends and your clubs. With the live rides of your friends and your recent routes right on the home screen.
MRA AI Routeplanner
[image: 12-ai.png]
Just tell the AI what you have in mind, for example "a weekend in the Black Forest, two days of curvy roads and a nice hotel for the night". It plans every day on real roads, including a place to sleep. You only save the days you like.
Trips
[image: 13-trips.png]
Every trip becomes a journal: the days, the routes you planned, the tracklogs you actually rode, your photos and your stories. Day by day, on one map.
Improved RouteXpert library

It's absolutely amazing now
Every tracklog, the whole story
[image: 13b-tracklog.png]
And every tracklog tells the whole story: what you planned and what you rode, your write-up, your photos, the trip it belongs to and what your friends said.
Ride together, live
[image: 14-live.png]
Share your ride live with friends and family, or ride as a group with everyone on one map. Send a quick message to the group, and the app reads it out to the riders while they ride.
More info and demo in English and Dutch
Stays
[image: 15-stays.png]
The app recognises where you slept from your tracklogs. Publish a review of your campsite, hotel or B&B, and find the places other riders loved, with all their facilities.
Clubs & events
[image: 16-clubs.png]
Join a club or an event, and every route of the ride is on your phone, kept up to date by the organiser. With a board to chat with the other members.
Garage
[image: 17-garage.png]
All your vehicles in one place. Your tracklogs keep the odometer up to date, and the app reminds you when the next service is due.
Weather along the route
[image: 18-weather.png]
See what the weather does along your route at the moment you pass by, and when the best moment is to leave.
Achievements
[image: 19-achievements.png]
And yes: trophies, levels and leaderboards with your friends. Let's see who rides the most!
When?
As said: iOS is available now. Android will hopefully follow soon.
The beta of MRA Routeplanner Next opens on 2 November. Beta access is purchasable now at beta.myrouteapp.com. Once you have access to the beta, the app will detect this automatically and will ask if you want to switch to the new platform.
Looking forward to a very bright future with you all!
Cheers,
Corjan
