Hi all
My navigation app loads my route perfectly.
If navigates well. But at a lot of crossroads he gives alternative routes. Is there an option to turn this off?Can you share a screenshot of those alternative routes?

@arjan-de-vries As far as I know, no navigation device offers alternative routes while navigating.

I have never seen alternative routes in MRA Navigation.
It would not make any sense, besides A to B navigation.
A screenshot would be nice indeed!I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

Always willing to help if I can.

@nick-carthew perhaps. but the zumo xt has no problem with the road!

we did not see alternative roads but what we often did see was that the Zumo xt followed the route and the navigation app decided to go the other way. See pics.!

@arjan-de-vries Thanks for the screenshot. The map used in the XT is a different version to the map that MRA Navigation uses. I suspect that adding a few more route points would solve the problem. Can you share your route here please then I or others can give you advice for future route planning.

https://www.myrouteapp.com/nl/social/route/5945187?mode=share@arjan-de-vries It is also advisable to not place route point too close to junctions, roundabouts and viaducts. The reason for this is to allow for any inaccuracies while the roads were being mapped and the accuracy of the satellite signal when you use the route. Sometimes it can be 20m out and this could send you up a side road and then tell you to turn around.
