@Brian-McG, exactly, many people have different use cases. That was actually the point I was trying to make, like a mirror to the comment I was replying to

When I shift the starting point as far as I can down the route OSM and TomTom takes and switch the setting to "shortest" Here still routes "his" way Shortest distance: Here 3.98km vs. 2.37 OSM/TomTom Here is very bad a math!

@Hubert-Thoring said in Update 5.0 - Release candidate 2, build 424: Die iOS MRA 5.0 - 424 Version ist jetzt schon verfügbar. Helaas nog steeds niet in de Android Play Store / Leider noch nicht in Android Play Store /Unfortunately still not in the Android Play Store yet!

Yes. Updated to 5.0. 0 420. Let's try it out on Thursday.

@Nick-Carthew Yes, I found that curious too. I consider Google Maps the gold standard for identifying traffic/closures and couldn't find it either. I dug a little deeper and found the following on the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) road status website: [image: 1761919395048-screenshot-207.png] I called their number too. The closure is real with and undetermined time for reopening, but I suspect it will be soon. I'm glad this came up because it illustrates the checklist I go through in investigating/developing a route. I start with checks on Google/Apple Maps for any real-time closures. For any critical roads in rural area, I'll proceed to Government Road information sites like Caltrans as a deeper check. That's why I'm not a big fan of any routing program I use (MRA, Basecamp, inRoute, OsmAnd) restricting me from developing a route in areas where I do my own research. Even though Google (from my experience) is the best, it's not perfect, as you can see above. And frankly I've found HERE to be the worst. I can show examples of closed roads that HERE says are open, and open roads that HERE says are closed. That's why I'm a big believer in having an "Ignore Closed Roads" option in Routeplanner, to let me decide what's open and not. I don't need big brother directing me.

Ik heb zelfs een Treo 650 met een Palm OS gehad. Beetje BlackBerry style. Ik vond het een heel handig apparaat.

Addendum regarding saving the RX-Route: have now found in the new MRA 5.0-422 app that you can probably save a selected RX route under Edit directly after activation, this leads to the fact that it is stored under your own routes. This route is still public at the moment, and you should know that .!! [image: 1761848284329-img_4656.jpeg] [image: 1761848461003-img_4657.jpeg]

@Con-Hennekens said in Avoid Highways when rout is loaded: @M.-Schrijver, that can be addressed as an A2B route, can it not? Yes. It is a A2B route but it is a part of the planned route. Not a separate route. At least how i use it.

Hello guys, I think a lot of understanding is lost in translation here. This can sometimes make it sound less friendly. Please don't be so critical about every word. I think we talk about two different things. One is the free ride (what is requested a long time) And the other one is (what I call) Follow the track mode. This was already answered by Corjan, see here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/10112/follow-a-track-mode-not-available

@Jörgen on my Android phone the placement is off line yours but on my Android tablet it is like I discribed

I'm also very fond of a hybrid modus. Basic navigation always on the offline maps. Combined with the online posibilities along the way where needed or useful. Just like the most of us, i like to ride the route just as i made it. But what i also like. Automatic altering the route by the navigition because a stretch of road is not usable/blocked. This means. Just keep on riding and not fiddeling on my screen to look for a re-route. I also agree with @Con-Hennekens that the Here traffic info doesn't seems to be that good that is really useful for i.e automatic re-routing.

@Con-Hennekens I'm fine with you

Im Video sieht man das ganz zum Schuss beim heran zoomen der Kompass durchgestrichen bleibt und genau das führt zum Problem. Link zum Video [image: 1761944968093-img_4693.jpeg]

@Con-Hennekens I have re-installed the app and used 10 different routes. The lack of waypoint icons is still there for me when I call up the waypoint list.

@Corjan-Meijerink I have 3D enabled and have noticed this. When I observed the previous detail issue, both screens appeared to be at the same close zoom level.

Hoi @Agostino-Vincenzo, ik denk dat de meesten het erover eens zullen zijn dat de Hauts de France geen gebied is waar je "prachtige panoramische" routes vindt. De enige die ik kan bedenken die er in de buurt komt, is de westkust volgen vanaf Calais tot voorbij Boulonge. Calais is duidelijk het startpunt voor veel Britse motorrijders die naar Europa gaan voor wat plezier. Het grootste deel van dit deel van Noord-Frankrijk is vrijwel vlak en karakterloos, met dorpjes om de paar 3-4 kilometer, dus de routes zijn erg stop-and-start. Begrijp me niet verkeerd, er zijn plaatsen om te bezoeken zoals het Blockhaus d'Éperlecques, maar goede wegen en routes zijn beperkt (vandaar de leemte in de MRA-bibliotheek). Het is niet het beste gebied om te fietsen en ik denk dat dat de reden is waarom de meeste Britse motorrijders het normaal gesproken gewoon omzeilen door 160 kilometer zuidwaarts over de snelweg te rijden voordat ze echt aan hun vakantie beginnen. Hi @Agostino-Vincenzo I think most would agree the Hauts de France is not an area where you are going to find "beautiful panoramic" routes Only one I can think of which would come close would be following the western coast from Calais down past Boulonge Calais is obviously the start point for a lot of UK bikers heading to europe for some fun Most of this part of northern france is all pretty much flat & featureless with villages every few 3-4 kilometers so routes are very stop/start Don't get me wrong there are places to visit like the Blockhaus d'Éperlecquesbut but great roads & routes are limited (hence the gap in the MRA library) It is not the greatest area for biking & I think thats why most UK bikers normally just bypass it by head south 100 miles on the motorway before starting the holiday for real

Since I raised this issue, it occurs to me that there are a whole load of apps out there which don’t handle BST and only use GMT. A problem has arisen for me with electric car charging and cheap electricity periods in the U.K. EDF (my electricity supplier) doesn't know when their cheap electricity periods are. They only work on GMT - midnight to 5 a.m…….but in summer this becomes 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. They are going to get back to me to confirm this is actually the case. And then there’s the actual car charger itself which only uses G.M.T. apparently - so I think I’ve been using expensive electricity for an hour every time I charged the car in summer. So, my conclusion is this is now a non-thread, forget I ever started the discussion and close it. Let’s all stick with G.M.T. and get rid of B.S.T.in the U.K. Been interesting though.

I am afraid not, at least not in the current web-planner.

@Corjan-Meijerink said in Multiple users to edit route: With the release of the big v5 update of our app, most our resources will shift to the (new) website development. This will definitely be a feature Wonderfull !
