@Herman-Veldhuizen & @peter-zehentreiter this is known functionality & can actually be quite useful using the seasonal closure function has been recomended on this forum as an answer to actually enabling you to plan a route today through a closure, that you expect to be gone in a few weeks or months the term "seasonal" is unfortunatley a bit missleading as the function really ignores a lot of closures the term "seasonal" is probably a historical thing thats never been updated on the web planner if you search the forum for "seasonal closure" I am sure you will find this is not new

@Corjan-Meijerink In my search for for why I was having problems, I found out on an Android device (maybe Apple also but not sure). Battery optimization directly restricts your phone's GPS and background processing to save power, which actively breaks real-time features on navigation apps like MyRoute-app. I set it to unrestricted and everything worked 3 minutes later when I reached my bike. I am not sure if Android changed it when I did the update? I had the same phone and it was working fine until I did the update. Here are the symptoms I saw immediately after 5.1 update. I had no speed indicator at all, didn't even register. I thought this was the only issue. I created a ticket with MyRouteApp and was responded to, asking me to delete and re-downloaded and install so I did. Went thru all the permissions again. Jumped on the bike Monday morning and made a simple point A to point B route, where I already knew where I was going. I always set my first way point away from my house just in case my GPS is acting funny and needs time to catch up. When I crossed the first waypoint my planned route did not recognize it. I jumped on the freeway and noticed it was trying to re-route my back to waypoint #1. I also noticed the arrival time was not getting any lower, along with the gas stations were not changing distance. I also noticed I had no turn by turn directions. I could see my route on the map and it was guiding me with the colored line on the screen. This part was accurate. when I arrived at my destination I typed in an address of the next destination. I had the same results. Later in the day, I went into my saved routes and clicked on a ride I have already did. Same results. Came home did a little A.I. Google search which walked me thru checking a few things. Everything was correct except for that battery optimized thing. I hope this helps and I hope I was able to give you good feedback here. I really enjoy your product. I belong to a riders group and I am trying to get all the guys to subscribe to your app. I think it would make our riding a lot safer and more enjoyable. I am even going as far as having a training class to show them some of the tricks I have learned over the year!

@stanisław Maybe i look wrong. But in your screenshot MRA says 291 meters and the other app 290 meters. That is within limits. Or am I wrong?

@Mike-wiruth as @guzzist suggests use lots of points to constrain the route to the path that you want to take on the web planner you definitely want to be using "Compare" tool to ensure that OpenStreetMap & TomTom also follow the same path that Here is calculating in the MRA web planner [image: 1779823092404-2ae9b09c-6f29-4026-9673-e81f0d7b7f67-image.jpeg] if TomTom or OpenStreetMap can find an alternative path you can bet that your XT will also find a different path to what you had planned the XT is using a different path calculator profile to MRA even though they are both using Here maps  so any calculation done by the XT is possibly going to be different unless you force (constrain) it to the same path with as many points as it takes & again as @guzzist says you have to make sure the settings you have on the MRA planner match the settings on your XT as closely as you can a rough guide that paths are closely matching is to make sure the mileage for the path in MRA is similar to the path on the XT it is not a perfect check but if the variation is small, chances are more likely the paths are more similar it is a lot of work trying to coral an XT to stick on a path you want to go & ultimately the XT will defeat you you will be taken off your chosen path, I know from bitter experience yes the search & poi capabilities on a Garmin are far better than MRA, especially when it comes to things like finding petrol but I would rather my navigation device actually navigates exactly the path I want to go (MRA navigation does this) & sacrifice the nice feature of being able to find restaurants or hotels etc after all we do have google for that sort of thing & as @mzokk you dont need to pass the mra file through basecamp, that fixes nothing

tread app is useless crap, like most apps from garmin

Well done my friend! Happy for you and thank you BOTH for the time and effort your putting into MRA. I see the feedback and also see the changes you have implemented. I love my MRA!!!!

I have a similar one from aliexpress [image: 1779294605969-img_20260520_171633568_hdr_aesml.jpg] and modified the cover by widening the cable slot [image: 1779294658926-sml.jpg] The cable/usb cover now closes fully. [image: 1779294722875-img_20260520_171750318_hdr_ae-1-sml.jpg]

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 @jack-jacobson-1-0

Laat je eens verrassen door de MRA app met een rondrit. Hier kun je zelf ook aangeven welke richting je op wil en hoeveel kilometers. Je krijgt dan een paar opties terug van de app.

@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
