First trip with the App in the books and issues.
-
Ok I just did a 4 day trip to New England. Some my Route and 1 from a Route Expert. For reasons unknown several times during the trip the app would just say way point missed. Every time it did this I had yet to reach the way point and was on the proper route.
Most of the time I was caught off guard enough that I couldn't hit revert.
I also noticed it seem to be when cell signal, which shouldn't matter all maps are downloaded, and in the mountainous areas where maybe GPS signal wasn't the best.
I also tried to get it to calculate a route based on an address I gave it, a hotel, with no cell service and it wouldn't do it. Is that me or the software?
Thanks all!!

@PatsAdventuresTravels, this was a regular problem in the past, but I have not seen many topics on this lately. It has been improved some versions ago, and I personally have not seen happening since. Which version are you using? Are you able to update?

That's a thing indeed. I audible warning that something is asked on screen would be helpful. Is this still on the list @Corjan-Meijerink?

That depends... Did you try this at home on your coach, or on the road? The error can be because of not being too far off of a routable road.
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.

to the best of my knowledge I have the most current version dowloaded. Only been a member maybe 2 months now. Great software overall!

Yes I got the audible warning each time. I was just slow to respond or I was at a point on the road that playing with the app would be a bad distraction.

** I was at the edge of a road in a business driveway near Albany Ny trying to get directions to a hotel**
