@JP-d Zoom in on the map as far as possible and press and hold on the line of your route. For me, this does insert a route point with a number between the two intended points.

@jweetje I forgot to mention that I purchased a Chigee device to use on my BMW R1300GS. It fit directly into the GS's cradle and interfaced into its systems natively. Still, for navigation with MRA via Apple Carplay I found the Chigee to be less than ideal and I didn't use it for more than a couple of weeks. Running MRA natively with the T-865X is not even remotely comparable. As @guzzist mentioned you can easily run other Android apps simultaneously on the DMD. I typically have MRA, one of my music apps, and Waze running. I run Waze (if I'm connected to my iPhone as a hotspot) without a destination put in as that will report hazards, accidents, traffic, traffic cameras or police officers ahead in realtime which I find to be very helpful. Also, there are times when I want to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible and I'll just run Google Maps or Waze instead of MRA. As I'm sure that you've already realized you have several choices.... a) Use a dedicated device such as a Garmin or TomTom GPS and use MRA for route planning (I did this for quite a while), b) mount the iPhone or Android phone where you can see it. I didn't use the handlebar mounted phones as those devices are not meant to be exposed to the weather, and I didn't find the screens to be adequate to view or operate via touch, especially using gloves, or c) use a dedicated, purpose built Android device like the DMD devices. There aren't any iOS purpose built devices for motorcycles that I'm aware of. All have of these options have their pros and cons. After a LOT of experimenting, challenges, money, aggravation, etc. I found that the DMD T865-X was the best all around choice for me on the motorcycle, and my iPhone and Apple Carplay works great in my car. Like @guzzist I have used a number of different combinations of hardware, software and apps trying to find the best solution for me.... Garmin 596 and XT, iPhone with Chigee, Mapsource, Basecamp, Kurviger, etc. before winding up where I am now. I have attached a couple of pictures showing the size of the Chigee unit beside the DMD T865-X, and another showing how the DMD is mounted to the BMW R1300GS. I hope these will be helpful.

Version 462 fixed IT. Thanks you.

thanks On an unrelated point I always seem rubbish at searching for topics, this is not unique to MRA, it is me. I thought i had searched every varient of "what3words" on the forum and found nothing.

tread app is useless crap, like most apps from garmin

Well done my friend! Happy for you and thank you BOTH for the time and effort your putting into MRA. I see the feedback and also see the changes you have implemented. I love my MRA!!!!

I have a similar one from aliexpress [image: 1779294605969-img_20260520_171633568_hdr_aesml.jpg] and modified the cover by widening the cable slot [image: 1779294658926-sml.jpg] The cable/usb cover now closes fully. [image: 1779294722875-img_20260520_171750318_hdr_ae-1-sml.jpg]

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

@Ebbe-Ardinge-0-0 Welcome to the MRA club..

Laat je eens verrassen door de MRA app met een rondrit. Hier kun je zelf ook aangeven welke richting je op wil en hoeveel kilometers. Je krijgt dan een paar opties terug van de app.

@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
