MRa for Campers?!

[wilfried Baars]

@George-Tabak For me it would be a great addition. I myself have a large camper and always take the engine with me in the camper.
Previously I used the sygic camper app where the dimensions and weight of the camper can be entered. This app is not really nice to work with and there are many errors in the navigation. the option to report a problem is far away and even after a few years of use and several updates it has never become a really nice navigation.
I now use a tomtom camper navigation in the camper, but it is really slow and planning routes is not as nice as with myroute. so for me 1 environment to plan for the motorcycle and the camper would be ideal.

@wilfried-Baars I’ve also used Sygic in my camper and this is indeed not a very nice and not so user friendly app. Therefore I’m also waiting on the camper options in the MRA Next app. It was promised before the summer period but don’t know whether that is still the planning. It would also be great to use that with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

your post is the first to ask for a possible update for campervans

This is entirely not true. I have been advocating in the past for the same thing. Also to set a maximum on the steepness of roads. And I am sure someone at MRA (I think it was before Corjan's entrance) already mentioned it being on a list for future development. I can imagine a feature like this has to wait until Next is matured, but hey, I think it bares a lot more interest than being a bike-route planner, on a map that does not support bike-lanes...

Come on campervan owners, is this a requirement?

YES!

Combined with a maximum of hill climb percentages, it has value to many more types of transport that just campervans. Consider also caravans and trucks!

@Con-Hennekens In fairness, my reply from 2 years ago has only attracted 4 votes.
However, despite there not being a big demand for this I do think that it would be a good addition to the toolkit.

According to the MRA Next roadmap, a camper mode will be in scope of MRA Next 4.0 and ready by the end of June 2023. It is not specified what camper mode means.

[Con Hennekens]

@Arno-0, Good catch! I am afraid the silence of MRA staff on this feature is no good news for the Camper-mode. But having a great app for motorbiking is of course first priority.

[Corjan Meijerink]

It is indeed still something we hope to achieve this summer but indeed as @Con-Hennekens pointed out, the development of the MyRoute-app is priority number 1 for the start of the season.

@Nick-Carthew papa's freezeria
Thing is that the information already in the map files present is, Here, TomTom and even OpenStreetMaps provide it, the trick is how to make it available.

Is what you say true?

@Corjan-Meijerink

Goedenavond, Ik las een post van Serge van Driel dat jullie bezig zijn met de implementatie van de campermodule.
Ik ben naast motorrijder ( Goldmember) ook in het bezit van een grotere camper, 4500 kg.
In september vertrekken we voor een aantal weken naar Griekenland. Als jullie camperaars zoeken om te testen, bied ik mij aan. Ik navigeer via Android-auto.
Vrgr. Albert Veenstra.

@AlbertV ben hier bijna klaar mee inderdaad!
Zal vanzelf beschikbaar komen voor iedereen. Denk over 2 weken.

Volgende week ga ik het Beta traject hiervoor starten met de app

Geweldig Corjan!
Ik ben heel benieuwd!
Bedankt voor je reactie!
