Openstreetmaps instead of Here maps
-
@Con-Hennekens no that was actually the only reason.
i really liked the webinterface for route-planing. there are some little things i would love to see improved, like the POI System or a dark-mode for the interface, but overall its great.
but the fact that the route i make in the browser is not 100% the exact same one that i see on my phone kinda defeates the purpose for me. i ride offroad a lot and i understand that i cant have navigation along a non-existing road
but i just want the "straight line to waypoint" -like i see it in the browser- also on my phone. that single feature alone is the main selling point for me.I will presume you are aware of OsmAnd.
It has a farely steep learning curve and at a pretty reasonable cost.You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.

@Con-Hennekens i will definitely keep an eye on MRA, its really 90% awesome, but the last 10% are what i need it for the most
anyway, thank you for your time and help -
@Henk-de-Wit-1 we wish to add different map layers later on
@Corjan-Meijerink Hi Corjan, I'm trying hard to stick with MRA Navigation but really don't like the HERE Maps, lack of detail, blue colour. I note that you've stated another map will be available, presumably OSM. Please can you comment on timing. Thank you

i also have problems with here colors. specialy with track line that is white. my solution is sometimes that i use osmand or kurviger v1 app on my android phone. both use osm offline maps. and both you can change color of route and track line.

We will investigate the possibility of adding custom map styles to HERE
This is something I will take a look at around March. -

I admit, I have thought for a long time "why are all these people nagging about the HERE map colors, ain't that totally irrelevant".
But now I actually had a look at the here map in the planner and indeed: this is a whole new dimension of uglyness compared to Google and TomTom Default.
Zooming in makes it better though
It is not difficult, it is easy, it's a hobby

Yes, I really wonder what their motivation was at HERE to de-detail the already detail lacking map...

With sun on the phone it is harder to see. i also have my tt so i will manage but i like to see the track and it is not always easy. with alternative like osmand or kurviger it is better to see in some situation.

@Jay-Salvo There are options for different colours for the maps under ‘Navigation Settings’, ‘Map Layer’ and then select ‘Map Style’ at the top. Three main styles which can be changed further:

@Dave-J-0 Hi Dave Im referring to the track colour, in the MRA its blue, in other apps its higher contrast or you can choose an entirely different colour.
