@Kenny-1 I have a BMW Nav 6 and I recently bought a Chigee AIO-5 PLAY hoping to use MRA to replace the Nav 6. The current reality is that AA in MRA is a bit flaky and frustrating to use. On top of that, the directions box on the screen is often nonsense. I think this may be UK-specific or more people would complain about it, but I don't know. I've reported it but had no acknowledgement.

As OGRIII says, unfortunately there are better options than MRA with an AA device. However, they all have their downsides. Sygic looks great and doesn't crash, but sometimes the routing it comes up with for GPX files is just nonsense. TomTom GO is much better, but you can't open GPX files on the device, you need to import them via a browser into your TomTom account. For me, that extra step negates the ease of MRA and opening GPX files directly on the phone, so I've gone back to my Nav 6 until MRA works properly.

The Chigee is an awesome device by the way, but quite a few people, particularly GS riders, are reporting frequent AA disconnections that sours the experience. Maybe electrical interference breaking the AA connection.

I think if you don't want early adopter pain, buy a Garmin XT and be happy. 🙂
