@Anonymouse said: Once they have the navigation app is there a very basic, very bulletproof introductory video and/or walkthrough that I should direct them to? You will need to try the basics well before the trip and check if a few friendly new users can cope with the app. That way will you find the holes in your instructions. AI will give you a good starting point. You do of course have to read it and confirm it hasn't cocked it up, but that's AI for you. Example! MRA Navigation Next: Quick Start Guide From install to navigate Install the App: Download the official MRA Navigation Next app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. Log In: Open the app. Enter the exact email and password used to purchase your subscription or lifetime membership. Open the Route: On the main dashboard, tap Routes & tracklogs (under the "Get started" section). Tap the Groups icon on the bottom menu bar. Select Anonymouse's Group. Tap and open the "The Grand Adventure" route. Prepare: Tap the Navigate button. Launch: Tap Start to begin navigation. Before you leave home Download Offline Maps: Download maps over home Wi-Fi to minimise mobile data: Account (Top-right profile icon on home screen) ➔ Offline maps ➔ Europe ➔ United Kingdom ➔ Download whole region. Carry a portable power bank. ️ Whilst navigating Blue Line: Your active, dynamically updating route path. Follow this / listen to the instructions. White Line: Your original planned route. This shows where you should be if you stray off-course. (Note: The active blue line will automatically recalculate to guide you to the next upcoming waypoint). Next Instruction (top left): Displays your immediate next turn icon, distance countdown, and street name. Second Instruction (sub-indicator): Displays a smaller icon directly below the main turn box, warning you of the following manoeuvre (e.g., a quick right turn immediately after a left fork). Next Waypoint (top right): Displays the number of the specific waypoint you are currently heading towards. ️ Things you can do during the route Zoom the Map: Pinch out with two fingers to zoom out for a high-level view; pinch in to zoom closer into a junction. Change Layout: Tap the Compass icon to cycle through map views (Dynamic Camera tracking is the default). Skip a Waypoint: If you miss a stop or detour around a roadblock, long-press the waypoint indicator in the top-right corner to skip it manually. Your blue line will instantly recalculate to the subsequent waypoint. Stop Navigation: Tap the three dots menu button in the bottom corner and select Stop navigation.

That worked really well, thank you very much for that detailed instructions!

@peha said: @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... That can't be done unless it's purely data changes - Google will automatically check any code changes. And to be fair, they're generally helpful checks that can point average developers to things they've overlooked. But Corjan doesn't need that sort of oversight - he's plenty sharp enough already, right?

@b0hd1 said: @Ed-Lauwerens-0 Bring an alternative navigation system. There are quite a few reports of problems with the R7M... I do not consider your criticism of the Ridernav R7M to be representative of the bigger picture. Contrary to what you claim, and based on my 3000km of experience, I actually see a very different picture. There are also many solid, comprehensive, and positive Ridernav R7M reviews. (for anyone: go take a look for yourself )

There are many differences between the XT,XT2 and XT3. For the XT the Garmin Drive app works flawlessly for transferring routes wirelessly from your phone to the XT. It also works as a hub to connect your phone to weather information, traffic information and "Smart Notifications". But for the love of all that is holy do not connect it or the XT unit to Garmin Explore and sync your routes and tracks as you are in for a world of pain. I've done it a few times to see if its improved.....it hasn't. The XT is also capable of transferring routes via bluetooth to another XT device, a BMW NAV5 and 6 all of the 3XX Zumo's and the Zumo 590 and 595. This was/is handy if transferring routes others basically using any Garmin Zumo that has bluetooth sharing capability. I believe this is more complicated now and files cannot be shared directly from the XT2 or 3 to older Zumo's. That said if you use MRA for route planning you can share files with old zumo devices using this arrangement (at least in Android I don't know about IOs) Older Zumo's and any sd card contained therein are seen as a mass storage devices by Android phones you can cable connect the phone to the Zumo (make sure you use a Garmin lead!) and GPX files you download from MRA can be installed directly into the device or SD card.

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 !
