MRA Community Forum

@Brian-McG I think my topic has gotten a little off track. I'm asking if there is anything on the horizon to add a "Ignore Closed Roads" option. There are specific situations where I, the route creator, have better/more accurate information than HERE as far as specific road situations. I don't want to be prevented by MRA/HERE from creating a route in an area that I KNOW is currently passible. Or I know that it will be passible very soon -- much sooner than HERE can make the update for MRA to incorporate. I already understand the "tricks" I can use to get around HERE limitations. I'm specifically asking about an option that allows me to proceed without trying to play games with Routeplanner. As far as my example between 10 & 11, it's a legitimate closure for emergency repairs. I know the segment well, especially having ridden it a few times during the month of October. It certainly exists, it's viable, and I'd be surprised if it's not fixed in the next few days. Hwy 2 is a vital artery between Los Angeles and the Desert. Regardless, this is actually a case where MRA/HERE is providing correct information. I suspect an "Ignore Closed Roads" option isn't on the drawing board now or in the future. Especially since using the OSM Map or the Skip option are proven workarounds. What I've learned here is the seasonal closure trick is iffy and something I wouldn't trust as an on-going strategy. There is always something to learn.

@Con-Hennekens said in Compass not moving: yes it does, in all modes except Dynamic mode. In dynamic mode the compass symbol changes to an indicator for showing it is in dynamic mode While riding yesterday I confirmed that the compass always points up in North up mode, points in a random direction in top down mode and also in dynamic mode. So I guess it never works as a compass. I would like to see it work as a compass in top down and dynamic mode.

So I see how much we post about all the issues we have with MRA, me included! Yes it may have a few bugs now n then, but seems their on it! I had a few problems and I reached out to the MRA group and have received great support. Once we got this thing figured out I have had nothing but fun with MRA. I think I read somewhere where some of these people do this on a volunteer basis, whether its true or not, I think it's time for a shout out to those behind this app. I am a subscriber to many "motorcycle" based apps, MRA has it down, once you learn what your doing. So this is just a huge THANKS to the people behind it, also the people who help on the forum (who I don't believe are employees). I appreciate you....Ride on.....Leave these folks some positive feedback and let them know they are on the right track, making a sweet product and encourage them to do more. Let the know where your from, I'm curios also......Thanks again... Big D Cleveland Ohio USA

@Corjan-Meijerink thank you very much for clear and detailed information, which was really professional. Such things can happen in IT, but the major point is, how to deal with

these navigation devices are nothing but statistical engines, for the same input parameters will give give the same output, there is no chaos theory involved in how they calculate routes if you are getting different outputs then there must be a different input, this could be something like traffic because we all know we want consistent routes but also want to avoid traffic which blows your consistency out of the water or it could just be something as simple as the time of day, one route might be faster at 9am than another route at 9:05

I use MRA already a few years and more then 10.000 km during my camper trips and it's a great tool. It helps against (too) low bridges and road where you're not allowed to drive but be careful. Even if it's allowed to drive on certain roads as a camper, you not always want to use those roads because they are to small, to steep etc. So always check before you enter a road that you not really trust. By the way, this is not a fault of MRA.

ciao a tutti,sono un nuovo iscritto con il programma LIFETIME,sono appena tornato da un bellissimo viaggio in Portogallo,prima di partire ho pianificato i percorsi con MRA,inserendo la voce Evita Autostrada e Evita Pedaggi,purtroppo seguendo il percorso mi ha sempre condotto in autostrada dove esistevano,vorrei gentilmente sapere se è successo a qualcuno oppure se ho sbagliato io nella pianificazione...grazie spero di essermi spiegato bene.........

Hoi @Agostino-Vincenzo, ik denk dat de meesten het erover eens zullen zijn dat de Hauts de France geen gebied is waar je "prachtige panoramische" routes vindt. De enige die ik kan bedenken die er in de buurt komt, is de westkust volgen vanaf Calais tot voorbij Boulonge. Calais is duidelijk het startpunt voor veel Britse motorrijders die naar Europa gaan voor wat plezier. Het grootste deel van dit deel van Noord-Frankrijk is vrijwel vlak en karakterloos, met dorpjes om de paar 3-4 kilometer, dus de routes zijn erg stop-and-start. Begrijp me niet verkeerd, er zijn plaatsen om te bezoeken zoals het Blockhaus d'Éperlecques, maar goede wegen en routes zijn beperkt (vandaar de leemte in de MRA-bibliotheek). Het is niet het beste gebied om te fietsen en ik denk dat dat de reden is waarom de meeste Britse motorrijders het normaal gesproken gewoon omzeilen door 160 kilometer zuidwaarts over de snelweg te rijden voordat ze echt aan hun vakantie beginnen. Hi @Agostino-Vincenzo I think most would agree the Hauts de France is not an area where you are going to find "beautiful panoramic" routes Only one I can think of which would come close would be following the western coast from Calais down past Boulonge Calais is obviously the start point for a lot of UK bikers heading to europe for some fun Most of this part of northern france is all pretty much flat & featureless with villages every few 3-4 kilometers so routes are very stop/start Don't get me wrong there are places to visit like the Blockhaus d'Éperlecquesbut but great roads & routes are limited (hence the gap in the MRA library) It is not the greatest area for biking & I think thats why most UK bikers normally just bypass it by head south 100 miles on the motorway before starting the holiday for real

@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.

Because I was able to improve my off-road skills, and because I am now comfortable with a brand new KTM 890 Adventure - I took part in an unexpected trip in Italy: Motorbike off-road trip through the 5 regions - Emilia Romagna, Marche, Tuscany, Lazio and Abruzzo. Please read my blog to find out what happens on that trip and how much fun, pain and crashes we had on this journey. With story, photos, videos and tracklogs: https://www.myrouteapp.com/blog/open/1733 Because the blog page can't be reached any longer directly, I'm trying to attract readers by publishing a link here. Enjoy - and please provide feedback if you feel like.
