2026...helaas nog niet gelukt

Hello, I am in Chile and trying to use MyRouteApp to navigate. I am using a dumb android auto head unit and my spare phone is in my tank bag connected to a USB socket. Notice "my spare phone" I do not want to use my actual phone as I do not want it to be on charge all day and so kill the battery yet, if I didn't have the phone on charge to protect the battery, I risk the phone battery running out of power and an essential piece of kit which is used for communication becoming redundant. I am also carrying a tablet which I use to modify routes, send emails and check various things whilst in my hotel each night. I am writing this at 0300 here using my tablet. The spare phone has until now, not been connected to the network as there is no SIM card in it but, I modified a route for tomorrow and came up with the two device limit so have now made my spare phone one of the two devices. All well and good in a perfect scenario. Yesterday it snowed on the way down to Ushuaia. There were high winds - gusting 70-80km/h at times so then ride was miserable and dangerous at times. Had my spare phone failed, I would have swapped it for my actual phone but with the two device limit, my normal phone would not be able to run MyRouteApp app. I could of course have taken out my tablet, in the snowy conditions and by the side of the road in the freezing temperatures and attempted to disconnect this device from the system and so made my normal phone one of the two devices. I could have also ruined my tablet or frozen to death whilst trying to do the above. I understand the two device limit but I am out here at the bottom of South America using this in the real World and really need three devices to be working at the same time. When the weather is inclement and you are riding a motorcycle, the last thing you want to do is to take devices out of your pocket or baggage and sort things by the side of the road. In a car this is obviously much easier with a heater on and nice and dry. I would suggest that the two device limit is increased to three devices for the reasons that I have described above and very soon in my case as tomorrow, if I have a problem then I will have a real problem simply because of this limit. Regards Nick

@Jörgen Thanks I can see how that would work and would be more accurate than the method I tried. I converted the tracklog to a route. MRA then gives the times between waypoints like a normal route. However, I think these times could be what the program estimates from it's calculations. This would only be meaningful if there are plenty of waypoints that it can't calculate a different route. In my case it let be guess close enough to estimate what time I got there.

@Corjan-Meijerink Congratulations to you both. May you have a ️ blessed life together with healthy kids and exciting trips ️ .

Okay, I just created the test routes in the new app version V5.0.1-438. Maybe the web planner = the route lab that works better

welcome!

@Corjan-Meijerink Thanks mate, that slipped by me

@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.

Mooie trip! Ik kan niet zolang zonder mijn kleinkinderen Ik ga je zeker volgen. Veilige reis!
