Hi I am a relatively new user (Gold) and recently attended an excellent Webex. Since upgrading to the latest version on my IPhone I seem to be having an issue with Quick routing selecting motorways in the UK using the App. When I go into the App. If I am in a location away from home I select my favourite of home (I have tried Car and Motorbike routing option). This seems to default to Scenic as a routing option. I have no other options either in Car or Motorbike. If I go in to select the options I notice Highway option is off. Selecting this seems to make zero difference to routing. The app will calculate a rote fro where I am but refuses to select any motorways even if the shortest and quickest from where I am. I have tried the route planner option and selecting where I am and adding as a first waypoint and selecting my home favourite as my next and it will use motorways perfectly but it is a bit frustrating having to always create a route rather than just select from the landing page. Is it just me or a known issue ?

Thanks guys. Yes I am applying Garmin Explore structure to this and MRA doesnt quite have that level of flexibility. They treat things like a true relational database where you can mix and match everything into various collections. Where Waypoints, track, and even routes can all belong to multiple collections. Its just a different approach I am trying to get used to.

@Corjan-Meijerink Update received. Tested at home with Android Auto. Apparently it doesn’t crash. Tomorrow I’ll do a real on-the-road test. Thanks!!

For various reasons, I still use both MRA and Garmin XP(1) on my motorbike. To keep the routes created in MRA exactly the same, I export them from MRA using Save as .GPX 1.1. I then import this file into Garmins Basecamp, where I add extra waypoints to make the route line follow the track shown exactly. I then connect my Garmin to the computer and send the route and track to my XT. This way, I have always had an exact route that does not deviate from the route in MRA on the Garmin! Ik gebruik om verschillende redenen zowel MRA als de Garmin XP(1) nog steeds op mijn motorfiets. Om de in MRA gemaakte routes exact gelijk te te houden exporteer ik deze vanuit MRA met Opslaan als .GPX 1.1. Ik importeer dit bestand vervolgens in Basecamp, waar ik vervolgens door het plaatsen van extra via punten de routelijn exact de getoonde track laat volgen. Daarna koppel ik mijn Garmin aan de computer en stuur de route en de track naar mijn XT. Op deze manier heb ik tot nu toe elke keer exact een gelijke route die niet afwijkt van de route in MRA op de Garmin!

@Corjan-Meijerink thank you very much for clear and detailed information, which was really professional. Such things can happen in IT, but the major point is, how to deal with

@Con-Hennekens said in Maybe last tour this year: @Jörgen, very nice picture... Kibbeling @ Rothenbach? No, Siebengewald.

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

ciao a tutti,sono un nuovo iscritto con il programma LIFETIME,sono appena tornato da un bellissimo viaggio in Portogallo,prima di partire ho pianificato i percorsi con MRA,inserendo la voce Evita Autostrada e Evita Pedaggi,purtroppo seguendo il percorso mi ha sempre condotto in autostrada dove esistevano,vorrei gentilmente sapere se è successo a qualcuno oppure se ho sbagliato io nella pianificazione...grazie spero di essermi spiegato bene.........

@Anonymouse you may want to review the positioning of some of your points, some are a long way off the road/route, [image: 1765213146278-c427c562-3363-4205-b041-606c22fb7402-image.png] the points don't have to be precisely on the road but they do have to be close enough to the road you actually want to pass along, unless of course there is something at the end of the paths at the likes of point 4 & 7 you wish to see

@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.

Because I was able to improve my off-road skills, and because I am now comfortable with a brand new KTM 890 Adventure - I took part in an unexpected trip in Italy: Motorbike off-road trip through the 5 regions - Emilia Romagna, Marche, Tuscany, Lazio and Abruzzo. Please read my blog to find out what happens on that trip and how much fun, pain and crashes we had on this journey. With story, photos, videos and tracklogs: https://www.myrouteapp.com/blog/open/1733 Because the blog page can't be reached any longer directly, I'm trying to attract readers by publishing a link here. Enjoy - and please provide feedback if you feel like.
