New beta! v4.2.0 (318)

Corjan Meijerink

Ladies and Gentlemen! Today is the day that we announce a great upcoming beta update

After quite some work by me and Joost, we are proud to announce that a major update 4.2.0 is coming your way. This update contains one major feature: the in-app MRA Routeplanner

With this routeplanner you can edit your high quality MRA routes with an interface it deserves.

Edit any existing route!
Create a new route from scratch
Change routes from others
All this can even be done offline!

The Routeplanner offers many features to help you in building lovely routes.

Quickly keep adding waypoints to your route to shape the route to your preference.

Yellow button starts the adding process and keep tapping it to continuously add waypoints
Click add to add a new waypoint and stop adding more
Cancel, dismiss what you are doing

If you make a mistake, no problem! Simply use the undo / redo buttons like you are used to in the website

Do you want to add information to waypoints? Ofcourse you can do so!

Change the colour, type, note, title or even the icon of the waypoint!

Do you want to add a waypoint somewhere along the route? Obviously that's possible too!

Tap somewhere along the line to add a waypoint there in order of the route
Long press and drag a line to immediately move the marker you are adding in that leg

Do you need to move a waypoint precisely? Simply use the advanced move interface to place the waypoint exactly where you want. Long pressing and dragging the waypoint works too but that is less precise

Then we also allow you to change any of the other settings.

Edit the name / description of the route.
Alter the privacy / travel mode
Avoid specific type of roads
View all the waypoints

Talking about waypoints! Did you know you can drag the waypoints shown in the list to reorder them? When you've opened a waypoint you can also swipe left / right to jump to the previous / next waypoint

That's it really!
So in short:

Create new routes from scratch
Edit any route
Access to our unique MRA Routeplanner features in-app
Modify waypoints
Change route information / details / options

Isn't this an amazing update??? We have put a lot of focus in the visual appearance and user experience of this planner so we hope you are satisfied.

What to test?
Go ahead and play with the planner! Edit your creates and create new ones from scratch! Does everything work as expected? Does it feel like a well functioning, high quality route planner?

Furthermore, this update contains many changes internally. So does the rest of the app function as expected?

Are you missing any essential features?

What to know?
Your offline routes and search history will be cleared after downloading this update. No worries, just download your routes again if needed. Start searching to fill up your search history

Edited or created routes will require internet for now to save. We are working on that now! In the future advanced route downloading and synchronisation will be added.

What is next?
The beta procedure for this update will be slightly longer as we expect quite some feedback. Public release is scheduled for early July! We are aiming to add automatic offline storage of all your routes (including folders) within the eventual public release. This will also enable saving edited routes without internet.

That's it really!
Enjoy testing this week

Best,
Corjan

@Corjan-Meijerink I don't like this update, screenshots are too small
Very good news, thank you, I will test it on my trip which is starting on Saturday!

@Corjan-Meijerink well done

@Corjan-Meijerink Great work. I have been waiting for this. Really looking forward to ‘playing’ with the planner.

Wow! Incredible update. It's going to take some time to learn all these new features. Will you offer any early training? Perhaps a video?
I'm a little confused about the comments on saving changes. Will the offline edits be saved to the route in the download folder? How do we upload changes to the web once data service is available?

Axel Härtl

@Corjan-Meijerink Wow, extremely good work.

My decision to discard calimoto and move completely to MRA turns out to be lucky.

I‘m keen to see the new version working on my Route des Grandes Alpes Tour End of July.

Best, Axel

@RetiredWingMan said in New beta! v4.2.0 (318):

Will the offline edits be saved to the route in the download folder? How do we upload changes to the web once data service is available?

From what I have seen so far, any changes you make to a route saved in the download folder on your phone are only saved in the cloud and not on your phone. I would suggest creating a new topic for this and submitting it as a feature request. This way, the information will also be easy to find. By the way, I think it's a legitimate request. If you don't have internet and for some reason need to restart a route from your download folder, your changes will be lost!

Corjan Meijerink

@RetiredWingMan we will create some videos further down the road

Saving now is only possible with internet.
In a future update they will be placed in a queue of some sorts to be uploaded once online again!

Axel Härtl

@Corjan-Meijerink BTW: I‘m still alone on my tour. Is there any topic in the forum where I can introduce myself and describe the tour plan to possibly find a tour mate?

TestFlight just dropped v4.2.0 (318)

@Corjan-Meijerink Just for your information, my previous search history was still available after the update, my Downloads folder was already empty so I can’t report on that.

paul69

had a quick play, sat having a beer seems intuitive but time will tell, does look good tho.

as previoulsy stated, the downlpard folder is empty so ensure you download any routes required for offline use

my search history has disappeared except from friday onwards.

these are not big issues as long as you remember the downloads

my offline maps are still present and up to date

well done team MRA

@Corjan-Meijerink Hi! is it now possible to also see all the route informations without entering editing mode? also when offline?

I think the real strenght of myroute is all the metadata you can add to the routes, but until now I didn't find any way to see all these info in the app.

btw when will it be possibile to sync all the routes on the phone without downloading them one by one?

Corjan Meijerink

@cvlmtg Seeing "all" route information from the in-app planner won't be possible now. We will keep expanding the level of detail but for now it's really about all the fundamental basics

Syncing all routes etc is being worked on. Aiming to have this included in the public release early July.

@Corjan-Meijerink thanks!
