Bug report MRA-Web: last modified date changes when no changes were made
-
Sure, I can do that, but what purpose does that serve? I don't think the moment I last viewed a route is particularly interesting information that needs to be stored with the route, especially if this replaces the date and time that I actually changed something in that route (which is much more interesting to me).
In addition, because the apps uses this "last modification/viewed" date to sort the list of routes for navigation, so the most recent one appears on top, this really isn't what I want/expect (in fact, I would much prefer to be able to find/browse/select my routes in the apps according to the folder structure I created, but that's a different topic).

@herko-ter-horst I agree with you. This is an error (or a bug) and needs to be fixed.
Thinking of it as a ‘last viewed’ may provide an easy escape to not register this as a bug... but for the rest serves no purpose.

I have asked if this can be fixed.

@Herko-ter-Horst @Drabslab Fixed

It’s probably worth mentioning then for those that use MRA Navigation,(I use it occasionally) that over time your routes will be jumbled up differently.
I mention this because MRA Navigation does not have the Folder Structure like MRA Planner.
If you are like me and literally have hundreds of Routes it can be a nightmare to find a specific route in MRA Navigation. (For me a combination of ageing eyes and small text on the phone)
You can add a route to an event to force it to the top of the list but I suspect the easiest option will be to go into a route in MRA Planner and just edit the first waypoint a tiny tiny bit in full zoom.
This will put the route that you are planning to use on that day at the top of the list. -
@nick-carthew Awesome stuff, thank you and the MRA team.

If you are like me and literally have hundreds of Routes it can be a nightmare to find a specific route in MRA Navigation.The immediate solution is to make events from your multi-day trips. The single-trips can be easily made visible by moving a waypoint a bit, so the taday will be the new date "last viewed"
The longer term solution will be that MRA is developing the folder-structure to be replicated to Navigation. I believe that this is a work in progress. Maybe someone @MRA can elaborate?

Yes I am aware of the events and the small edit options as I mentioned them both above.
The real issue is though, the requirement to have an internet connection to pull the route into MRA Navigation.
@PAD-0 suggested an option in another thread, to “Install” a route into MRA Navigation.
In the UK Mobile data is generally pretty good but having the option to embed routes in MRA Navigation would be a great long term solution. -

@nick-carthew woeps, this was fast
