  @Herman-Veldhuizen I don't know where the cursor was approaching point (7). It's a very technical section of Mulholland Highway that demands 100% attention on the road. The hairpins of that section are incredibly demanding, made even more challenging with a 9% upwards grade. It's a Butler Maps G2 rated section that I would argue probably deserves the highest level G1. To your point, HERE does seem to have oddities. Whatever the situation, the route developer should be alerted of potential problems before actually executing it. Being hit with strange behavior while on the route is absolutely the wrong time. Using the Garmin GPS, I absolutely know ahead of time if the unit will treat the route differently (at execution) than what I developed. I sometimes have to do more than one iteration of adjustment before finalizing the route but it's worth the effort.

  Ok, I had a look at what you said but that's a very tedious way to do something so very simple. Thanks again for explaining but I very much hope that this can be added to the app in the future in a far more intuitive way (such as how Kurviger approach it). ...fingers crossed it get's some attention! BTW, how do I edit the original post? I made a couple of frustrating typo's. I can find the edit button on replies but haven't found it on the opening post.

  I'm just back from a 2 week trip in Europe and finally moved from Nav 5 to using MRA on a Chigee AIO5 (IOS and CarPlay). The App worked fairly well, although still work to do and ran into bugs that required restart phone rather than just close app and restart. The biggest problem for both myself and the other rider using the same unit is the size of the icons and text size choices on screen. Fine if you've got perfect eyesight but, if not, some text is so tiny as to be unreadable while riding. Have other people mentioned this and it can be addressed? Or do I just have to buy a bigger screen?!

  I have finally received a detailed response regarding my issue. The fact is that the Carpe Iter controller cannot be used with Android Auto or CarPlay. The commands work perfectly on the mobile phone, but due to a limitation, they are not forwarded to Android Auto or CarPlay. Here is the detailed response from Carpe Iter: Hi Massimo, I completely understand why you wanted to add it to your setup, operating a touchscreen with thick motorcycle gloves is exactly why we created our controllers. However, the behavior you are experiencing is due to a strict system limitation of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Why is this happening? The Carpuride W702S Pro is essentially a projection screen for Android Auto / Apple CarPlay. These platforms are completely locked down by Google and Apple. Our Carpe Iter controllers connect via Bluetooth to your phone and send commands to the phone's native operating system. Unfortunately, Google and Apple do not allow third-party Bluetooth controllers to pass screen interactions (like panning or zooming a map) from the phone through to the projected display on the Carpuride. Because of this block in the Android Auto/CarPlay architecture, the inputs are registered on your phone's screen, but they are not mirrored to the Carpuride screen. Sadly, there is no workaround, app, or setting that can bypass this restriction. It is a limitation baked into Android Auto and Apple CarPlay themselves. To get the full functionality of the Adventure Control (panning, zooming, app switching), the controller needs to be paired with a device running a full, native Android operating system mounted on your handlebars, such as a Caretta or CiPad. Best regards,
