LAUNCH: Roundtour Generator 2.0 and Routelab 2.0
-
Attention community,
We’re happy to announce a major feature release as we work towards Roadmap milestone 1.2. For those unfamiliar with that term: the Roadmap outlines all of our development efforts relating to MRA Routeplanner, encompassing 10 clearly defined milestones.
Today we celebrate the full release of our new Roundtour Generator and a reworked routelab.
This is a historic moment, because the new Roundtour Generator was designed from the ground up with input from our community. Not only did over sixty-eight thousand people help us in deciding that the Roundtour Generator was to be a priority, over twenty-four thousand people provided input in a questionnaire to aid in designing the roundtour generator. By involving the community we created a democratic and representative basis for decisionmaking. In that same spirit, the core functionality of the new Roundtour Generator is also available for all MRA Routeplanner Basic members.
Some features of the Roundtour Generator will follow at a later date, though before the finalization of 1.5. These include route themes (plan a roundtour around a coastline or through a valley of castles) and further avoidance filters. The reason for this is that these features require more design and development and tie into our ambitions for revisiting the general routeplanning area as well.
In addition to the new Roundtour Generator we’re launching the re-envisioned Routelab. A no-nonsense starting point where the goal is to get you back to your favorite parts of MRA Routeplanner designed to be both recognizable for existing members whilst ensuing a modern, premium look-and-feel.
Special thanks go out to the RouteXperts and MRA Ambassadors, who have provided insight and input in fine-tuning this polished release.
As always with new software, there might be a nasty little bug or two that escaped our squashing efforts. Please let us know if you encounter anything that shouldn’t happen.May great adventures lie ahead of you,
Your Community Manager,
Timo

There seems to be a routing problem with Roundtour. After doing a surprise me route it seems to take the wrong way around roundabouts and putting me on the wrong side of the road. It looks to be a great addition but I think it needs a tweak or two.

Nice tool. ...
I prefer Mozilla Firefox as a default browser. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug in the visu.
With Chrome or Edge it is working fine. Not that big problem .. maybe you can test the workflow again ;-).
Another thing I would like to mention: roundtour with dead end in between.
Different parameters ...
Maybe the team can check that again.

Dirk@Dirk-Stadtherr Hi Dirk,
Unfortunately, it may happen to have dead ends in the roundtours. But, you can tweak those roundtours yourself :). You can move, delete and add markers to the roundtour. Move the marker by dragging the marker, delete the marker by clicking on the marker and a popup appears, and you can add a new marker by clicking on the line.
Concerning the layout on firefox.. that indeed needs to be fixed. We will have a look at that. Thanks for mentioning!

Looks good, I like the surprise me feature and the fact that you now have a choice of 3 routes to choose from. Well done MRA Team

My ‘Surprise Me’ route is perfectly ok. Correct side of both roads and roundabouts.

Still have the same problem. For some reason it thinks I should be driving on the right hand side of the road not the left, so it sends me the wrong way around roundabouts. I can't make any alterations to the "surprise me" route so I can't make any changes and move the route to the correct side of the road.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Why would that happen?

I don't know, sometimes it happens, but always check the routepoints before using the route or sharing the route

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Thanks, I'll go back to manually planning.

@Brian-Martin Hi Brian,
That is really weird that you get roads on the wrong side of the roundabout, it's not supposed to do that. For now you can still convert the roundtour to a route, and place the markers on the correct side of the roundabouts. I will look into it soon how we can avoid this in the roundtour generator. Thanks for mentioning!

I tried it out today. Looks OK, but it went straight through a city, even when I stipulated not to. Will try another tomorrow. See if this happens again.
