    @Paul-Slater-0 Cheers from Austria, I´ve travelled approx. 15k km now with my Fossibot F101Pro. Rugged, huge battery that lasts 10-11 hours with display switched on on highest brightness possible. It´s not a top notch item, but it fits my requirements of navigation running all day (in offline mode - I don´t have a sim card in it) and playing music to my HS. It cost me less than €150,-- on Amazon. But: if you choose something rugged with huge battery, be aware that regular phone holders won´t work. Those beasts are bricks. And they are heavy! I use an SP Connect SPC mount. The universal interface is glued to the mobile with 3M 4936 - that is the stuff they use e.g. in Dubai to gloo the windows in the skyscrapers. I would not recomment using the standard adhesive that comes with those mounting solutions, because the will not be able to hold the weight and lose grip when temperatures get high! Hope this helps. Regards, André

    Welcome to MyRoute! It’s a handy app once you get the hang of it. Start by gathering all the places you want to visit. Use POIs for must-see spots, VIA points for planned stops, and shaping points to fine-tune your route. For multiple sights in one area, set a central base and create routes from there or navigate as you go. To avoid the app auto-ordering your stops, use shaping points first, then switch to VIA points once your route is set. You can also manually rearrange stops or use the optimize function to get the best route.

    @jeff-barton Whenever there is a problem like this it is always better to share the route so that others can possibly spot the problem. Open the route, click share and choose the Link option and then copy and paste the web address of your route in a reply.

    @big-vern this issue has been reported before. Seems to occur at random times although I find that late afternoon is bad (kids getting home from school?). I find switching to the OSM or Google overlays provide much better performance.

    @Leike-Lodiers said in Recalcul d'itinéraire et suppression de points de passage: can you put a English translation in each message. It's easy that we can read you're message without to translate it our self. Deepl is a great tool for quick translations (and much better than Translate!). [image: 1719302807275-dca9faee-6cfc-48b1-9529-4c746b9c3f67-image.png] But I usually answer in English too, I don't need a translator for that

    @gianluca-tamburi Displaying two different maps simultaneously is not possible. There is one map active for calculating the route (see red arrow) and you can have one overlay map active for planning the route (see blue arrow). [image: 1719129974584-menubalk-met-overlay.png] I suspect you mean whether it is possible to compare or view multiple routes on the map. The answer to that is yes! Below are various links to the relevant instructions: Manual 'Compare Route Calculation' (Gold) Manual 'Display and Merge Multiple Routes' Manual 'Compare Tracklog with Route'

    @Lynchy67 said in Achievements - countries visited: @Sharon-Wilson I will refer this back to @Nick-Carthew as I personally have never used Tracklogs other than some of the TET Routes Yes, tracklogs need to be recorded using the MRA app.

    @Lynchy67 Je suis également confronté au comportement du XT2. Le problème est que quand un recalcul de route est effectué par le GPS, il supprime les shaping point de l'itinéraire initialement prévu et ne garde que les via points (obligatoires). Si vous désirez passer un via point en modifiant un peu votre route ou si ce point n'est pas correctement placé dans votre itinéraire, le XT2 vous fera obligatoirement passer par ce point et il n'est pas toujours possible de dire au GPS de le passer manuellement. C'est là que les ennuis commencent.

    @Nomko-Nomden, klopt het, of klopt het niet? En ik zou niet "belerend" hebben gereageerd als je dat zelf niet eerst deed: Did i told you to use Windows Explorer? I specifically mentioned how I did it.
