@Jeff-Molldrem your main issue is as @Nick-Carthew says the Here routing is being prevented by the Here map data showing the road as closed/under construction However I think you may be have a small missunderstanding of how the routing is calculated within MRA I have changed the route to other formats (Openstreet, Opencycle, TomTom, Google and Here) and they all do the same. I normally use HERE Default (Gold). Changing the "format" as you have described is what people refer to as changing the "map overlay" The "map overlay" is just a pretty picture of where the roads are, the "map overlay" has no effect on the route that the system calculates If you want to compare the different routing algorithms from Here, TomTom or Openstreetmap you need to change the routing calculator [image: 1762679226424-20f322f2-22a9-4b07-871a-15ff8a4bcea8-image.png] as you can see when the routing calculator is set to OpenStreetMap it routes through the Badlands with no problems, its the same for TomTom You could also use the Toolkit "Compare" function to show the different paths each routing algorithm will take [image: 1762679539277-05d7c445-d407-4055-94f1-84811154066b-image.png]

@Corjan-Meijerink said in Update 5.0 - The best just got better: Great shoutout to all Alpha testers providing early feedback You're very much welcome! It has been a true delight sharing the occasional dealbreaking- but also our nitpicking finds to you. The app has gone through a truly amazing metamorphosis. We, als alpha's, can't wait for what the future holds. The past has been a joy in it's own.

I can and will check this. But...... I have changed no settings or permissions between version 4...... and 5. In version 4 this issue wasn't there.

Ah okay, many thanks, I'm subscribed, just wondered why it is no longer showing.

@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

@BertM, I was not implying that this is your issue, but rather posting an anecdote about leaving a highway being theoretically faster, and proving this can be an issue navigation software.

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.
