    Patience is over ...I have those issues since version 4.4.0 was launched, before leaving on my trip in the Alps, which was planned since last year. Osmand saved the day, works perfectly and does exactly what I need it to do.
    I will create routes using MRA web planner (since I bought the Gold membership) but run the routes using Osmand ...

      Hello everyone,
      ... I attempted to plan a new route using the app’s built-in planner. Unfortunately, this didn’t help at all because the POIs I had saved in the online planner on my PC were not visible in the mobile app, and I had no internet access to use the web version.

      You need to switch on "synchronise" in the App - in best way, select "all", not a single route. After planning a route on your PC (adding POIs into), immediately it will be synched to your mobile. As long as you are at home/hotel, both devices needs to connected to Internet.

      Later, at your trip, you can re plan the route at your mobile and include some of the also synched POIs.

      Personally, I feel more comfortable to use in App the "Route lab (webite) instead of using MRA Routeplanner. But for this, you need Internet connection.

      @Guzzist I already synced everything. Try creating a new route on the mobile App, using a POI list that you have imported using the Web Planner !
      Osmand has POI location categorized on folders after importing a POI list, and you can use them directly in the app, just click the next POI or add the POI as a waypoint, part of a route.

        Please let me know how will you change a route on the fly, with no internet acces in the Alps !
        I am curious about your answer .....

          • open MyRoute-App on your mobile (while you are offline)
          • open a route (which must be synched before, as you were at home/hotel, connected with internet)
          • tap on the "pencil" icon
          • another map view appears, showing the route with all route points
          • tap on the yellow "+" icon, bottom in the middle - an new additional route point appears on the map in center position
          • move the map until the new route point is on the map at the desired location
          • tap the icon "add" bottom left
          • tap the icon bottom left, which is now changed to "waypoints"
          • tap and hold on a way point to move it to right sorting and close the list
          • tap on bottom right icon "menue" and select "save" or "navigation"

          Nothing is impossible ;-)

              oh sorry, unfortunately I overlooked that.
              MyRoute-App does have different functionality as other Apps, like OsMand.
              If you want to work offline, you need to download "offline maps" for all regions you want to drive, in forefront. As long as you have Internet connection. By downloading the map, all the internal POI will be included!
              Later on, while you drive, you can stay offline.

              • In the App, tap in main menu on icon "Destination"
              • you can search along internal POI (gas stations, hotels, etc. or p.e. typing the name of a pass)
              • you can also select any Favorite, you have saved before -
                but there is no way to select from self created POI (or uploaded list), but doesn't matter, because you can simply use the search entry
              • or enter your favorite passes in forefront as Favorite

                @Guzzist I have full Europe downloaded offline. But still you cannot plan a new route using the in app web planner without internet. You can plan a route using the app Route Planner but you wont be able to see you saved POI lists ... so its useless if you want to create a new route on the fly using your saved POIs.

                  @Adrian-Avram I think that you're being very unfair with the use of the word 'useless'!
                  The in-app route planner is designed for creating offline routes or adjusting routes 'on the fly'. Let's put things into perspective, if you want to plan a full tour using your POI list, wait until you get to your hotel room where, unless you're staying in a Bedouin tent in the middle of the Sahara, you'll have access to Wi-Fi.

                      How should I call an app that doesnt let me see my saved POIs so I can create a custom route on the spot ? Maybe I should have write on notebook (with pen and paper) the coordinates for every POI and enter them manually .... So yes, it is useless in this case. It works perfectly it you stick to the planned route at home om the web planner, but if you want to improvise ... you are screwed.

                          you cannot plan a new route using the in app web planner without internet.

                          I think you have pretty much answered your own question - a WEB planner is obviously not going to work without a connection to the internet!

                          You get this red warning when you try to access the WEB planner when not connected to the internet because your not connected to the internet!!

                          You could try clicking the APP planner button which will allow you to plan a route completley OFFLINE instead of clicking the wrong WEB planner when your offline

                          It won't help with your POI issue but you could have made a polite sugesstion that such a feature would be nice to have

                            I just responded here too: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/67754
                            I am sorry about that UI lag issue 😞 It really is not directly caused by us and luckily not many users are impacted.

                            The Android Auto reconnect issue is indeed a very annoying one too!
                            I have experienced it but cannot ever reproduce it while developing and the logs are of no help 😞

                            Sorry you have these 2 issues which are rather annoying for us too!

                            The in-app planner works very nice but by design is way more simple to ensure offline capabilities and easy access. Might expand the features there further down the road 🙂

                            Regarding tunnel behavior: I'm in the Alps right now and was a while back too.

                            I've seen Google Maps stopping in the middle of a tunnel
                            I've seen Waze place us on top of the mountain
                            I've seen MyRoute-app stop updating positions

                            All other 3 also worked flawlessly in other long tunnels. Hard to say!
                            Yes, our app also extrapolates the locations in tunnels (what all apps try to do).

                              I think that you're being very unfair with the use of the word 'useless'!

                              How should I call an app that doesnt let me see my saved POIs so I can create a custom route on the spot ? Maybe I should have write on notebook (with pen and paper) the coordinates for every POI and enter them manually .... So yes, it is useless in this case. It works perfectly it you stick to the planned route at home om the web planner, but if you want to improvise ... you are screwed.

                              I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                                I know ... But if you dont want to stick to the plan anymore or plan a new route using your saved POI list... you have to switch to another app, unfortunately ....
