Please allow more characters in the Note field...
-
We use MRA in our car each year on European driving holidays. We use the Waypoint Note field for adding descriptive text about upcoming locations. This is FANTASTIC.
I spend 9-12 months planning the route and finding out all about the places, roads, passes and cols we are driving past. I add extra waypoints before locations and write in the Notes about the upcoming location.
So, my request would be can you please allow more characters to the Note field. It is currently about 440 characters. Can you expand this to 600 please?
Another thought, it would be really cool if you could set the Note to be read XX km before reaching the waypoint. That way I wouldn't have to add all these extra descriptive waypoints to my map!

I struggle with this also. You add a note but you never know for sure when these notes were spoken or spoken at all. This makes it difficult to have notes at the point you want them spoken.

Notes in shaping points are displayed and read aloud at 750 metres before the location of the shaping point. For via points, the notes are displayed and read aloud at 2 kilometres before the location of the via point.

I will just add to what @Hans-van-de-Ven-MR.MRA has written, the 512 characters includes spaces.

A lovely number. Somebody somewhere worried about real kilobytes when they spec'ed this!

@richtea999 There was a technical reason for 512 but I can't remember what it was. It may not be relevant now but to be honest, 512 is about all you need. Any more and it is just too much information to take in. For anyone wanting more, you could always revert to the old method of a note in your tank bag. I actually sometimes miss my tank bag notes.

512 Characters..... That should be mote than enough imho.
During riding i think you want a notification, not a whole story to be told.
If i add notes, they are not more than 3 lines with the most bare necessary information
