@Gerard-van-der-Veer Ook een route met POI's erin wordt gewoon opgeslagen in Plan.TomTom [image: afbeelding.jpeg] [image: afbeelding.jpeg]

@Daniel-7 the new V6 does display the distances in a larger format for both the next & 2nd next turns the distances are now to the side of the direction arrows instead of below

Yes, I agree with you; MRA is perfect for motorcycling, and I’ve since started using it as my go-to for car navigation as well. For cycling and hiking, I currently use Locus Maps Pro—a very good piece of software. However, I would like to consolidate all my navigation needs into a single system, once that becomes possible. MRA has been evolving well in that direction, but it’s not quite there yet.

Thanks, sounds very reasonable

Even those of us who have used Garmin devices for years and understand the associated software (up to the Garmin XT1) Will bash Garmin for good reason. Good The Hardware.....robust water dust and heat proof. My Oldest Garmin device is 22 and still works. The Desktop software Mapsource and later Basecamp are fine pieces of software and I still use Basecamp for handling tracks and POI's as this is an area in MRA that still needs work. Bad The XT1 and I believe the 2 and 3 have a bug with "imported" routes which causes repeated U turns if a via point is missed (even if skipped). This can be mitigated by making all routes "Saved" but its something to be aware of. Somewhere after the Zumo 390 and 590 GPS units Garmin changed the Routing algorithm of the devices so that with the devices set using the same parameters "Faster Time" no longer meant the fastest time between two way points irrespective of road type but meant "Faster Roads" creating additional complication when designing routes for a Garmin XT1 for example as Basecamp routes were not longer WYSIWYG with the GPS unit. For the XT1 "explore" does not add value to the experience of using the unit if you connect it. Its a poor piece of software IMO. In many ways MRA is what explore should have been. Garmin's recent software has in general been buggy. The otherwise excellent "Drive" app was broken for Android users recently when they added functionality unrelated to the Zumo XT If you are using the unit outside its area for example using a Europe unit in the US or visa versa you can load Garmin's expensive "Here" maps or you have to Garminise Open Street Maps to get coverage. I've moved to navigation using the MRA navigation app. Mainly because my Africa twin has built in AA/CP and I can manipulate the software using my bar buttons which is safer and more convenient than prodding the XT screen (I now I should stop!) What I have found is that working this way via android auto is more flexible. I use My Route app navigation for routes. OSMand for tracks and Google maps for fast A-B navigation and using voice commands to find coffee and lunch stops. I still have my XT mounted as a backup with my routes and tracks "Saved" on it. I have the Track displayed on it and any Custom or proximity alerted POI's I might want to use loaded.

Wow, that was unexpected!! Looking forward to using that part of MRA!

@Ioan-Dragulescu No, not at all. But I switched to the DMD Nor7e tablet a few months ago.

Dat is vanaf v6 app / Routeplanner Next (beta.myrouteapp.com) mogelijk

@Richard-et Welcome to the forum.

@Cor-Haasjes 2 mogelijkheden 1 zet de route optimalisatie op kortste 2 zet aan beide zijden van het water een shaping points en selecteer bij het punt aan de overkant het jeepje (offroad)

@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 !
