Start navigation in My Route app via the address in the contacts Android

[Peter Zehentreiter]

If I remember correctly, this has worked before.

I am very meticulous when creating my contact data, so I have also assigned the address of the place of residence to all my contacts.

Previously, a long press on the address opened a pop-up and I could then select which app I wanted to use to navigate.

Unfortunately, this is no longer possible at the moment. Can this be checked and reactivated if possible?

Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Greetings
Peter

@Peter-Zehentreiter Only no longer possible with MRA, or not possible at all anymore?
In the latter case, it rather seems to me that it’s related to the OS version of your smartphone.

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Bart-De-Medts I have to correct myself.
It does work...
You must not press on the address for a long time, but
"double tap" on the address, then the pop-up window for the selection appears

@Peter-Zehentreiter Good to hear! Glad you’re able to use it again.

Hi, I haven't used this function yet, so I tried it.
I can select an address and I can use MRA for this, but it seems the take-over of the address is not working correctly. MRA has still the last used route in memory and this collides with the new address. As a result, I get the message “Route cannot be calculated.”

Can someone try that?

@Jörgen Hi Joergen, just tried it.
Just worked as expected.
I`ve made a little Video...if you want I can send it to you.

Here you can see the Video:

Aha, if the window "Continue navigation" (from the last trip) is still open, it collides with the new address. If not it works.
So this windows needs to be closed first.

In Android 16 (on a Pixel 9a) a single tap on the address brings up a list of apps to open. MRA is one of them.

A long press allows you to copy the address.

Tapping on the directions icon in a contact address opens Google Maps. It's a shame it doesn't give the app options above, but that's Google for you.

@Jörgen Hi @Jörgen I tried it but it didn't do what I want it to do. I got an upload error then MRA opened in the basic menu
