MRA Community Forum

Genau so mache ich es auch. @peter-110-0 In allen vier Antworten findest du eine Antwort auf einen Teil deiner Frage.

@LennyO said: @white.mouse This is your opinion and I respect it. Mine is different, so respect that too. But that is only half of the problem... The phraseology in the manual regarding the "North up" map orientation is misleading. And no matter how many people think that it's ok (for whatever reason...), the fact remains - the current description in the manual is not clear and does not depict the current state if events. I do not see how that could be argued or defended or ignored. This Forum is a shakeout platform that helps developers make the product better and people discover things here and there, that Corjan and the crew may not have seen or did not get to, etc,... I was an IT developer on Wall street for 40 years and know how that works first hand. But to say that it's fine or turn it off or look the other way goes against my grain. I want this product to be the best, that's why I even bother to bring it up. Not to cause an argument or a confrontation. The issue has to be acknowledged and then put in the queue for a fix based on the priorities. That is the professional approach. So, that's it. I am done. This issue is brought to light and it's not up to me how it will be resolved. All I know is that new users will be confused and frustrated if it's left like it is now. It is not my Product, not my business and not my decision. And all I am suggesting really is to change one... ONE sentence in the manual to create proper expectations. Thank you all for your thoughts! Well said. There are a small number of, I call them MRA jihadists, on here whose approach seems to be not to accept anything that they consider to be negative feedback against MRA. I'm relatively new around here and to MRA but in my short time here I'm not the first one to have noticed this and called it out. You gave perfectly sound and reasoned feedback. The response was to keep arguing until you eventually gave up. Maybe that's the strategy? IMHO, there is far too much of people putting their fingers in their ears and saying la la la la I can't hear you. I retired from the corporate world at the age of fifty in 2013. Over time, the culture had changed to one where negative feedback, no matter how constructive, was viewed negatively and only positive feedback would be accepted. These forums often remind me of that time. I fully appreciate the things that I've learnt from these forums and their contributors. My fear is, as you put it, unless issues are acknowledged and then put in a queue for a fix, MRA will never become the best. Right now I do not recommend MRA Next to anyone, there are too many issues. MRA planner on the other hand, at the moment, is great and I have used it extensively. I will use it to plan routes for an upcoming motorcycle trip to Australia but will continue to use those routes and tracks in my Garmin. My fear here is that MRA Planner is currently being re-written and may turn out to be not so great as a result.

Op het forum kan ik vreemd genoeg maar weinig vragen & suggesties vinden over het plannen van een (lange) rit met een elektrische auto. Wij zijn net terug uit Italië en hebben allerlei relevante apps door elkaar en naast elkaar gebruikt. Wat valt op? Als je in MRA de elektrische auto selecteert vallen ineens opties weg in de ritplanning. Sterker nog, soms weigert de hele planning. Je zou eigenlijk verwachten dat - afhankelijk van de instellingen - er een suggestie wordt gedaan om laadpunten te bezoeken. De vriendelijke mensen van A Better Route Planner (ABRP) hebben m.i. de beste lange-rit routeplanner. Echter kan je deze rit alleen naar Google maps exporteren. Jammer, dat zou ook naar MRA (en/of .gpx) mogen wat mij betreft. Via de MRA-webpagina gaat dat prima, echter als je onderweg even snel met de app wilt plannen, is het heel omslachtig en eigenlijk niet werkbaar. Liever zou je een vergelijkbare planner in MRA willen hebben, zou super goed in de carplay passen. Echter vraagt dat een heel flinke ontwikkeling. Als je de juiste dongle hebt, kun je bij een elektrische auto 1-op-1 het motormanagement uitlezen en in ABRP gebruiken. Is zoiets denkbaar om het ook in MRA te kunnen hergebruiken? Want daarmee wordt het plannen van laden en het exacte bereik een heel stuk preciezer.

I haven't seen any offers too lately. What i see in he shop is that you need to buy everything separately.

@Mzokk said: The main reason I've ended up here is the disappointing software provided for the XT (Explore) by Garmin and the change to its routing algorithm which meant, that compared to the old devices, what you produced on Basecamp bears little relation to what you get on the XT unless you "pin" the route with lots of shaping points. I'm pretty happy with the MyRoute app routing program and navigation app with the exception of POI and track handling capabilities. But at least with phone based navigation you are not restricted to Garmin's poor software offering. A lesson I hope they learn before its too late. Wow, that's quite a collection of devices. Very nice. Overall, your reasoning is fair. I personally did not enable Explore for either my XT or XT3 due to the disaster it creates for most users. It does nothing for you unless you want to buy into Garmin being an ecosystem across its devices. "Pinning" lots of shaping points is something I'm used to anyway since I lead rides and distribute GPX files to the other riders. You never know the routing preferences set up on other devices, so overloading shaping points is an absolute requirement. MRA Routeplanner is the best route creation SW out there. I'm OK with BC, and it's remarkably capable for what it is. But Web based technology makes BC largely obsolete. The MRA Phone navigation piece?? I've tried to like it, but it doesn't speak to me the way an XT device does. It's another subject, but for me, phone HW isn't built for reliability in hot climates. I live/ride in the USA southwest, where phone overheating while running navigation is almost guaranteed 3-4 months of the year. Aside from phone HW limitations, an XT device is more capable than phone navigation SW at many levels. Again, another subject. What struck me most when going from my XT to an XT3 are the improvements to 3D Terrain map. The rendering is eye popping. It's looks like viewing from a Drone when riding through mountains and canyons. It's hard going back to the XT much less the MRA phone map. Having said all this, I get that we all have different criteria and therefore end up with different setups. And there is nothing wrong with that.

enjoy the country side. hope it isn't raining cats and dogs

Die App mach so viel Spaß, Danke dafür, jetzt die 5. Tour jeweils ca. 200 - 300 km / Tag. Die Track - Bild Funktion ist [image: 1786038251162-img_0725.jpeg] [image: 1786038491155-img_0727.png]

@Brian-McG als ze het verzoek nog goedkeuren

Welcome! Hope your trip goes smoothly! Enjoy!

I know the area of the first two well, and they look very good to me. Just rode 1/3rd of route 1 this afternoon! And I like the info waypoints. Only one minor comment: some of the waypoints are just in front of a vital turn (route 1 waypoints 7 & 45, for example). I worry that the waypoint announcement might clash with the turn instruction (if people are using audio). Both have waypoints after the junction, so 7 & 45 (and any similar pre-junction ones) might be redundant.

@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 !
