Welcome @Clinton-Pitman-Moore

hi @Gilles-collignon welcome the wonderful world of MRA, don't listen to the nay sayers, if unsure ask a question ️

@Chris-Lane-0 Welcome to the forum.

@Jonathan-storer Sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees! I had some long past relatives that lived in two small Essex villages and a great uncle that was a Harwich pilot. So we travelled around the 3 counties, mainly on the coast and like I said, we really enjoyed it. We found a really nice village called Burnham Market that had a superb fishmonger. The village is very close to the Holkham Estate so you can imagine, it’s quite posh! We shouldn’t say too much about East Anglia really otherwise you’ll become inundated with all those looking for somewhere new to ride

@HarryMJ Welcome from Germany. Former NC750x user, Garmin XT user and the workflow you describe is exactly the same as mine

@Jim-O-Dowd Welcome Jim!

@Guzzist Thank you very much for your suggestions. I will be posting blogs for all you to see. For anything, I am here!

hi @Luc-Wijdeveld welcome to the excellence that is MRA, well perhaps an exaggeration, it has it's flaws but doesn't everything, learn by your mistakes when planning a route. there a few golden rules you must stick to, otherwise your beautifully planned route will have you going down closed roads back and forward along motorways etc etc. there are some who enjoy deprecating the app, do not pay attention to them, there are those who will mention OsmAnd in every thread possible, MEH! take the advice of the route experts and all the other good advice on here. some of it will work for you others may not. my Xt has not seen daylight for over 2 years, i used an oukitel RT3 tablet without issue on many mutli day trips, always offline, i have now moved on to a carpuride 702b and not had any issues in around 4 months of use, I am using it on a multi day trip in 2 weeks. sure it will be fine, if unsure, ask on this forum someone will know the answer, ignore the nay sayers.

De manier waarmee MRA met POI's omgaat is niet alleen heel omslachtig maar vervuilt ook nog eens heel je gps data base daar elke naam uniek moet zijn. Leuk dat er een proximity alert is maar deze werkt bij mijn weten enkel bij de outdoor toestellen. Zeker al niet met mijn Zumo 590. De routes die ik doorgestuurd krijg met handjes in vragen heel wat werk om deze te vergangen door effectieve waypoints in BC omdat de gemiddelde gebruiker niet goed en/of niet weet hoe hij met POI's in MRA moet omgaan. Net even wat opslaan testjes gedaan met POI's in een paar testroutes zowel zuiver POI als opnemen als routepunt (staan naast de weg natuurlijk en als je deze niet op de weg plaatst krijg je de vraag waarom hun XT geen route kan berekenen?), handje en POI. In geen van de drie voldoen ze aan mijn verwachtingen voor een Garmin gps. Waarschijnlijk omdat ik gewend ben om zuivere waypoints in een route op te nemen in BC. Dan is BC 10x makkelijker dan MRA.

@Cleo thanks for reply. I've given up. The satnave gone back. Reverting back to my android phone. Nothing should be that complicated when you buy something and subscribe to a service that should be easily trasferable to a divice.

@Carl-Cooper Welcome!

@Adrian-Jackson-0 MyRoute-app has two products. The website route planner and the mobile app. The website route planner has subscriptions for the Silver or Gold versions (Gold has all maps and a full toolkit). The mobile app is free but if you want the navigation module added (MRA Navigation Next) you have to pay a subscription.

@Phillip-Noble You’re welcome. Happy to help.

@Guzzist Thanks for the extended reply. I wil try the suggested apps.

Welcome!

@Banshees as said before, you need 2 subscriptions/tools: MRA Routeplanner and MyRoute-App on mobile device. I have used several other tools before, but since I use MyRoute-App I'm happy at all. Try it and lern - you will become happy too

Beste Vrienden, Bedankt voor de antwoorden. Ondertussen al een paar stappen verder met MRA dankzij de verschillende online cursussen en jullie tips.
