    The distance the app looks up the road is not adjustable, and too short of a distance. It seems to look ahead, at best, 1/2 mi.

    This causes issues, for instance, when looking for a gas station, by time the gas station icons actually appear on the route, it is too late to take the exit to the station.

    On a recent trip, I routinely tracked this - an exit off a major freeway was typically 2 - 3 tenths of a mile, and by time the gas station icon appears, the exit is either right there, or has just been passed.

    Suggest to allow user to set the distance into the route the map uses. And if possible, then at at predetermined distance, it will zoom in for turns, etc..

      @GT-JWR, at least zoom buttons are in the works I believe.

      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.
