MRA Community Forum

Hello everybody. I am a gold MRA user and I use MRA to create routes in HERE maps and transfer them to my Garmin Zumo XT (using Garmin Drive and gpx 1.1 R/T/P). I noticed a weird behavior lately and I cannot understand what is going on. I first tried the Zumo XT forum, but couldn't get any real explanation there... Just to clarify, I have my Zumo XT updated all the time and I created the route in MRA freshly in the morning and drive the route few hours later on the same day. This is how one part of the map looks on MRA - and this is exacly as I want it: [image: 1776185098007-20260412_190000.jpg] This is how it looks in Zumo XT maps and the black arrows shows how XT wanted to navigate me through this section: [image: 1776185134676-20260412_175729a-resized.jpg] What is weird though, this is the original map on my Zumo XT of this section, when I don't have navigation active (it has everything connected and it shows that Zumo XT knows which road is the main one): [image: 1776185154628-20260412_184315-resized.jpg] On the Zumo XT forum some suggested that I placed the shaping point in the wrong lane on the road, but from what I see this road doesn't have multiple lanes (not on MRA and not on Zumo XT)... I also checked my avoidance settings, but nothing helped there. Also MRA has the "shortest route" and Zumo XT also has "shortest route" selected. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? It is not really a deal breaker, but it is really annoying and I get at least one of these on every trip... I thank you for your replies.

In a thread "https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/10748/how-to-exclude-short-time-road-blocks-during-navigation/1", there was an intense discussion about the pros and cons of guided detours around unexpected road closures. Some motorcyclists prefer a solution similar to TomTom. [image: 1776183452937-526a2bf8-7ab5-4d18-898e-5ba3a52bc7ab-image.png] I would like to propose an algorithm that, in my opinion, would enable guided detours around road closures. The scenario: A motorcyclist is navigating with MRA on a pre-planned route. He encounters a temporary road closure that is not marked on the planning map and is therefore not bypassed. The task is to create a feature in MRA that guides the rider around the closure, similar to TomTom. Definitions: Shaping Point A: the point where the motorcyclist is actually located before the roadblock. Shaping Point B: the point on the known planned route beyond which a roadblock is suspected. The algorithm could work as follows. 1: The rider stops and selects “Detour around a roadblock” from the navigation menu. There, he enters the length of the expected roadblock (e.g., 10 km). . . 2: MRA now automatically adds the two additional shaping points, A and B, to the route. The waypoints along the remainder of the route after Point A to the destination are incremented by 2, since the route now has two more shaping points. . . 3: MRA excludes the section between shaping points A and B from the permitted roads—similar to how it handles highways or toll roads to be avoided, etc. To do this, a programming solution must be found that does not rely on the planning map, since this exclusion is not present there. . . 4a If a planned shaping point is located on the now-blocked route, it is skipped. 4b: If a planned viapoint is located on the now-blocked route, a warning is issued so that the rider can decide whether to be redirected to that point from B or to skip it. . . 5: MRA now calculates a new route segment that leads at least to point B. If the original route is not reached again until further along toward the final destination due to road conditions, shaping point B is skipped during navigation. Of course, I don’t know how this can be implemented programmatically, but that’s what @corjan-meijerink, our mastermind, is here for.

While I can agree that the map could use a high contrast and a more topological view, I think having it completely customizable is too much complexity almost no one uses. Also Garmin users seldomly use those features.

A brief explanation Selecting Remote 2 When you have selected NAV, you must turn your wheel and immediately press the turn signal cancel button, and then you can zoom in and out while driving a route. Without a route, you can operate the menus in MRA.

@Adrian-Avram Hi, have look to the Carpuride PLUS. I think thats you are looking for. BR Michael

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

I changed and have ad some route in Hungary, i have contact with the route expert in Hungary to ad some new routes. If you can drive in Hungary you can drive everywere .

Derzeit werden die höheren Alpenübergänge noch geschlossen sein.

@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!
