I am trying to plot a route from Barnsley in the North of England, to Spa in Belgium. My preferred route is Barnsley - Hull, P and O overnight ferry to Rotterdam then Rotterdam to Spa. Myrouteapp insists on sending me south to Dover and across the channel to Calais. I have tried different maps, and putting waymarks in the middle of the North Sea, but I cannot force the Hull - Rotterdam route. Any suggestions?

@Marinus-van-Deudekom said: Did you make the route with the webplanner. I see that the route is with the Here map. I always plan my routes on the web planner, and use Here, I do compare with OSM and tom tom while making them. I also use the Michelin overlay as the Here is very wishy washy, and bad contrast. perhaps I inadvertently changed it, but I do not know why I would do that. @Brian-McG said: I think the only way to try & figure out what is occurring is if you can re-ride the route & get a repeat of the issue then save the app log file for the devs as stated above, I have ridden the route previously (3-4 times) without issue. I have sent the logs. @Brian-McG said: in fact I get the exact opposite, at every junction it is telling me to stay ON the m-way or main A-road when I have ridden the route before, that is what normally happens. For info to all, I merely put this on here as discussion point, and to highlight the behaviour, although it is good to read the differing points of view. I am touring around Ireland from Thursday, no motorway to speak of so may not see this again. @Brian-McG said: It looks like a decent ride to Hawick so should not be to much of a hard task it is a very nice route, although the road between Middleton and Alston is very uneven, not great on my K1600, almost throws me out of the seat in places, enjoyed it more when I had the GSA @marinus-van-deudekom, @Marinus-van-Deudekom said: That could be the result of the settings in NN. Could you share your settings I use fastest route in optimisation, the rest is below [image: 1783355754115-img_1231.jpeg] [image: 1783355764069-img_1232.jpeg] [image: 1783356048716-screenshot-2026-07-06-at-17.37.25-resized.png]

Aanvulling: Vandaag online gereden en in diverse tunnels GSM verbinding kwijtgeraakt waardoor herberekenen startte. Eenmaal weer buiten de tunnel werd de route acuut weer opgepakt op CarPlay. Online wordt het blijkbaar dus wel opgepakt na een onderbreking van GSM dekking. Offline wil je juist onafhankelijk zijn van GSM. Waarom start dan herberekenen als je het GSM signaal kwijt raakt? Klinkt niet logisch toch?

@Hanspeter-Gruber-4-0 MRA Academy training sessions in English will be held later in the year.

I used the Drive app when I am away from my PC. I did have the exporter working, but it stopped with the device not found error. Thought is was my PC so rebuilt it, but got the same. I use drag and drop in windows explorer from now . Just wondered whey the exporter wasn't working as advertised.

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 !
