Using Windows is like ‘cursing in the church’ for a Mac user. It should work flawless for members that use a MacBook. After all we pay the same contribution. Don’t take this personally. It’s more meant as an indirect answer to the developers

I have been using the MRA web site to create routes for almost 10 years. I've used these routes successfully for my Garmin Zumo 550 and Harley-Davidson Boom (2015). I recently started using the MRA navigation app. I've been creating very simple routes on the MRA web site to verify my understanding of the app. Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to use waypoints or via points or shaping points such that MRA nav redirects me to them if I miss the calculated turn to reach them. I've got the MRA nav app setting for 'auto skip of waypoints' turned OFF. But regardless of whether I've created a waypoint as 'via' ('hand') or 'shaping' (sort of a balloon), every time I miss a turn to take me to them, they get skipped. Do I need to update a setting in the app ? Create my routes differently ? Other ? Thanks.

I’d say internet

@Stevedo-6-0, I will gladly admit that I have no experience with an XT3 (and that will be permanent. I do have experience with multiple Zumo's before XT, and they were always terribly slow. And that's not really a surprise given the hardware they chose for their products. I have spoken two friends that actually did have an XT3. They both sold it off quickly because they were slow, and because they are terribly complicated to put routes on, which often also get frumbled during import. I will also gladly admit that Zumo's have some advantages. Like you said, glove operation is so much better then on a phone. The active mount I consider a pro also. And their usable duration is also much higher then any phone. But I am just glad that for the price of 1 XT3 I can buy 3 Android phones, so the latter is no real problem for me. No I am not biased against Garmin (I use their outdoor products too), but for navigation of motorbike routes I am certainly biased towards a phone with a great app like MRA, or any other app you can widely choose from. And with reason @John-S-Parry said: Regardless, it does a disservice to the navigation community to try to push one product at the expense of others when the facts are just wrong. Hopefully, it was simply ignorance based on not knowing the current state of Garmin devices. This sounds a bit like you are pushing one product at the expense of others. And no I am not up to speed ( ) on the current state of Garmin devices. Also I am not pushing anything, I am just giving my opinion. I literally don't know anyone anymore who can show me a modern Zumo. They all went the phone route. But obviously they must all have been biased against Garmin products

I don't recall that the Connector had any options for saving the file to a specific location on the Garmin. My GPS is out of my possession at the moment, so I can't actually test that.

@Nick-Carthew said: I can't say that I experience the tracking stopping. I get this a lot, when returning to MRA after using another app on the iPhone: the dot (current position) get frozen in place the yellow line (track) if enabled, continues to update I have logged it with Support who say it will be fixed when the new product comes out. I had a particularly difficult time when this freeze happened at the start of a journey with 12 cars following me and we turned different ways ... but I'm assured by Support that the bug is being treated as a priority.

@Ioan-Dragulescu No, not at all. But I switched to the DMD Nor7e tablet a few months ago.

@KurtvPoucke nee, maar je kunt daar wel (op voorhand) iets aan doen, door eerst de route in OSM te maken en deze daarna in HERE openen. Als je de OSM-route eronder legt, dan kun je ze gelijktrekken. Eenmaal rijdend is het, zoals @con-hennekens terecht opmerkt, niet te wijzigen.

@BertM Thank you

@rainert To be honest: most of the program was already done in Google Appscript and the documentation is generated by my AI friend I am not a programmer, so if you have any remarks please let me know. I have also some things I want to change in the future already.

@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 !
