    The app itself runs autonomous without cell service, like google for the actual map around your actual position. if you have downloaded the appropriate maps to your phone, you can use it completely off-line. BIG discussions about how useful this is in this forum The tracking of your position in smartphones uses a potpourri of services to set your position most exactly: GPS/GNSS, W-Lan, Cell-Phone, Bluetooth, BT-Beacons in tunnels or buildings. Please read the complete documentation, that ist undoubted useful! RT

    It all depends on how want use your navigation. For me AA or ACP is the way to go. But the navigation must meets the demands of AA or ACP. My demands for navigation are low. Just drive a route without any interfering from my side (no manual skipping waypoints, etc). These demands are perfect for AA or ACP.

    Unfortunately, this is no longer the case with many apps today. A so-called intuitive user interface is being developed. And all users just get started. And if there are problems, then you write in forums, Reddit, etc. and there are enthusiasts there to help. They do it for fun. So I'm glad that these enthusiasts are also helping so diligently here. Or often have to help because users are not used to helping themselves first. By READING! Because there is good documentation here in which the developers explain their approaches in detail and with lots of pictures. I think that should be rewarded by reading it.

    If you both have an MRA account, you can add the other person as a friend. If he does the same, you won’t need to share a link or anything — you’ll be able to view each other’s route files directly.

    Hi All, Thnx all for the feedback. As I am new to MRA and the forum, I was waiting for the admin to approve the post :0). Then, I found all of your responses :0)). Sorry for that. If I use it as you suggested, "Use this Route", which format it will be. Will be able to see it on Zumo XT as is or modified through the phone. Thank you again. Best regards, Ibrahim

    I think I can explain, because it bothers me too. If you create an blog and make it public, this doesn't work any longer! No one is able to find this blog! Since the new SW for the forum is in place, the old blog can't be reached any longer for other readers. But the new forum has the new category: "Travel stories". Only this category can be reached by other readers. Unfortunatelly, this new category "Travel stories" doesn't have the same functionality as the old section "Blog"! I can imagine - users, which are riding just Sunday afternoon - will/can write nice interesting stories. But longterm traveler like me will/can write a lot. And it's great to find everything you need for a long journey in one and the same app! This will may be also helpful for others, which intend to travel to the same region, and are going to gather more information. The section "Blog" is very important, because it's one of the USP (unique selling point) of the app. There are a lot other route planning apps on the market (which don'thave this). I fear, if MyRoute-App Team will reduce functionalities of the App, potential users may go away and purchase another app.

    My current solution to avoiding friends having to register it to share my global map. From there, users can find routes and download them. Example given here: https://taarhaug.blogspot.com/2025/08/testing-embed-from-myrouteapp.html Thor

    @wim-beauprez, Om de QR code die @Rob-Verhoeff suggereert te kunnen gebruiken heb je enkel een gratis MRA account nodig. Met een gratis account krijg je toegang tot het zelf downloaden van de bijbehorende GPX file vanaf de MRA website. Als je zelf een GPX download en op een club-website of zo zet, dan kun je de URL naar dat bestand makkelijk zelf in een QR code "gieten" . Check daarvoor bijvoorbeeld deze online tool: https://nl.qr-code-generator.com/

    Android Auto definitely has limited impact on our resources Yes, we sometimes fix stuff but that is no different than maintenance on the core app / CarPlay. After a very consistent update interval it has indeed slowed down slightly. That's because we are preparing a major overhaul of the app and summer is a poor time to release updates as people then use the app most
