Is MRA Next & CarPlay working like it should now?

Ron Z

A while back, like maybe 6 months ago, MRA CarPlay had deviated from the route I created in MRA with HERE maps. Also I was in online mode and lost cell reception and MRA CarPlay was doing some weird things. Doesn’t MRA Next automatically switch to offline mode if you have the maps downloaded?

Since then I stopped using MRA CarPlay and started using inRoute with routes created in MRA with TomTom maps, and haven’t had any issues.

I remember reading that MRA CarPlay was in beta at the time. I’d like to come back to MRA CarPlay, but not sure if it’s ready yet?

@Ron-Z MRA is working for as it should in my Car with CarPlay (supported from my iPhone) and on my bike with an Android phone). And much better the 6 month ago.

@Ron-Z Funny you mention this. Yesterday i had a whole lot of problems because of loss of mobile phone coverage. Specifically when coverage came back. The navigtion was off, Next Instruction was stuck at where i lost coverage, map was updating, but somewhere lost track. Funny things.
Needed to stop and restart the app to get back on track at which point the App was thinking that i wanted to do the whole route again. I just wanted to go home so i switched to Google Maps.

@Ton-Machielsen You have the option to navigate offline, and also the option to re-start from any position. Long press on any waypoint will automatically skip all previous waypoints meaning you do not have to start from the beginning again.

@Ron-Z in my experience, MRA Next is working fine, but, MRA on Carplay with android is very unstable even with the latest public version.
I got error messages, hanging screens, etc.

I have read about an update which should finally bring stability but it's not available yet.

@Jan-50 Smart arse on: Sorry, CarPlay is for iPhones and iOS. For Android, it is called Android Auto. Smart arse off.

@Jan-50 bij mij is het ondertussen echt stabiel

Just curious... Will MRA Next automatically go into offline mode if online is not available?

Nick Carthew

@Ron-Z Yes if you have the offline maps and you have synced the route.

Isn't route syncing automatic now?

Nick Carthew

@Ron-Z If you have selected Sync all my routes then yes.
