MRA Community Forum

You are most welcome! Seems like an epic trip!

@Brian-McG Well, I just ran the route again, running the XT3 and MRA Next app on my phone in parallel. Success! I suspect (it's just my best guess) that skipping WP#7 manually instead waiting for "Skip Waypoints automatically" to kick in was the difference. The first time around, it really did take (in my mind) too long for the skip to trigger, which created problems around WP#8 that doomed the route. I agree that the "Offline Navigation" probably didn't affect what happened with WP#7, but I needed it any way for the second half of the route, where cell coverage was spotty and sometimes non-excitant returning back over the mountains. As for the XT3, instead of just letting the route 'sleep' until auto rejoining further up the road, I instead selected off-route recalculate just to see the result. On the XT's I almost never issue a recalculate (that's another discussion), so it was an additional learning experience too. Like MRA, it recalculated back to the route as originally intended. I'm sure we could have a spirited discussion on the pros-and-cons of a dedicated Garmin GPS vs. the MRA phone app. They both have relative advantages/disadvantages, and a lot depends on where and how you ride. For me, the XT3 will mostly be my first choice. But you're correct -- that's better left to a separate dedicated thread. Anyway, thanks for your time on this. I've learned a lot about the app going through this process. Not all scenarios can be documented, and learning by doing is the only solution. At least I'm comfortable enough now to use either the XT3 or the app based on the situation.

@martin-white I have experienced that a public file with motorcycle closures for Germany has also caused this message. In the downloaded file were POI s of the signs at the beginning and at the end of the route which is okay but it was also between beginning to end a route in this file. I couldn't see it in MRA and loaded this public file into Basecamp, where I was only able to see it. Then deleted the routes in BaseCamp in the file and there were 106 POI left. I read this file again, and then everything was good. VG [image: 1783781726974-img_0230.jpeg] Link to the file Klick [image: 1783781990155-img_0231.png]

Every app has indeed their own quirks. But to my opnion. MRA must be used in a smaller bandwith to get to work correct. There is less room for user errors for the app to handle. Other apps can handle user error better without giving problems.

The BMW Nav 5 can handle a maximum of 30 announcing waypoints (via points) per route, you can also include up to 125 unannounced shaping points between any two waypoints. You have probably exceeded the Via point (announced waypoint limit.). If you MUST have a route overview you'd probably be better exporting the master route as a Track to the Nav 5 and displaying it beneath the magenta line of your routes.

enjoy the country side. hope it isn't raining cats and dogs

Dit is SUPER!, ongelooflijk hoe jullie met zo'n kleine groep mensen dat voor elkaar krijgen. Voor allemaal super bedankt en in dit geval Cor-Jan

Ik ben niet meer te helpen, ik ben reddeloos verloren

@Apatrida-2-0 Cuando lo uses, no querrás cambiar. Es el mejor planificador y conjuntamente con su navegador, no tiene rival. Ya hace tiempo que lo uso y ni siquiera exporto los GPX para tenerlos por si he de usar otro navegador... porque no lo he necesitado (por ahora). Saludos, y nos vemos en la carretera (perdon @b0hd1 por el plagio )

@Edwin_M Thank you for sharing our Tool Edwin! Good to hear you like it.

@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 !
