New group for MyRoute-app users on DMD2 systems

[Con Hennekens]

@Huibertus, It's a native Android running phone or tablet (both options) that runs an app created by DMD, but also runs any regular Android app. So like a phone, but designed for harsh conditions and with included active handlebar mount.

@Huibertus ...as @Con-Hennekens wrote: the manufacturer DMD (Drive Mode Dashboard) produces rugged hardware (6" and 8") for use at offroad conditions. And they produces a navigation app with own maps. This maps shows all offroad paths in colour codes, to indicate difficulty of this pathes. So it's extremely helpfully for offroad riding and navigation by tracks.
Device can be expanded by cable or uncalled remote controller on handlebar.
Additionally, that devices can display typical roadbooks for rallyes. And if the 8" device covers the onboard-instruments, DMD device has an ODBC connector and can mirror onboard values.

Also if the DMD2 app can be used onroads and for route navigation, I would like to say: the most benefit is for offroad.

I would be prefer using the new 7“ hardware with MRA and a suitable controller. As fair as I tested it works also fine with Remotek

[Thomas Neumeyer]

Just to mention Silverfox controller. They are very good quality and the support is superb.

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Thomas-Neumeyer Just one question from my side...
Which Silvefox controller do you use?

Do you have iOS or Android?

In case you are using Android, I would like ask you another question....

...before you buy a Silverfox, please consider if you are driving only onroad, or also offroad. To operate the Nav device by controller, on bumpy roads (offroad) it's difficult to do it without mistakes by the 4-way mini joystick. Especially quick zoom in an out.

Because the remote controllers are not cheap, I recommend a test in a shop or an exhibition, if you can reach all joysticks and buttons with our fingers on handlebar comfortably...

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Guzzist Thanks for your comment...
I already have one (C1) and used it throughout the entire 2025 season (on the road).

There's just one thing that bothers me!

The controller worked perfectly at first.

But since the option to set or change the language was implemented in the MRA app, I can no longer zoom in with the setting “German language or German cell phone, everything in German.”

However, as soon as I switch to English in the MRA app, the controller works perfectly...

When I use an older phone, e.g., Android 12 (where the language cannot yet be set in the MRA app), it works perfectly in German.

Personally, I believe the error lies with MRA, but unfortunately, no one has been able to find the annoying error yet.

That's why I keep asking other people for clues as to why this error occurs.

@Peter-Zehentreiter have you got the latest update from SilverFox for your remote. Bevatte they have made some changes. Dit me since then it works perfect

...I belive, the mentioned group is no longer existent, because the DMD-Forum became obsolete. They are now using a discord server for discussions. May this channel is relevant:
https://discord.com/channels/1009485004268654683/1460233394033266731

The link is not working get a error. Do you have the group name or new link?

Thnx!

[Thomas Neumeyer]

Hello, I have the B8J controller and I use Android 13. Did not encountered this issue.

I‘d Like to ask the following question: in case you want to navigate within DMD2 a new route or track you will be asked if you would like to navigate with DMD2 or an external app. If I choose the external App, MRA the app won‘t start. This issue is only valid for MRA. Does anyone know about this issue?
In case this should not be a topic here, please close or delete. Thanks.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@silberfuchs67 what do you Megan exactly. That you’ve receiver a route or track and didn’t”t import that in MRA Or that a route in MRA won’t start on your DMD device
The first is normal the second a problem

Sorry @Niek-4 I double checked the link, and it worked.
But I have installed the Discord App. So, if I click the link, instantly the app will be started.
Alternatively, I copied the link into the address field of an browser; it also worked.

So, maybe it worked for me, because I do have an account there. Please try again, maybe with the basic part of the link: https://discord.com - I'm pretty sure, this leads you to the homepage of Discord. There you need to register yourself to get an account.

If you have got an account and logged in, you can search:

If you tap in the field an start writing, a popup window comes up:

Type in "DMD Navi" - immediately you will see down the main page of "DMD Navigation" with the icon. Tap on it - now you are in the right corner - and you will see seceral sub categories:

Tap on the bell icon, to receive messages about new threads.

I slightly remind about this question. In the settings, you can disable this question.
But the usual way to start is - like in MyRoute-App:
if you have received a gpx file from anybody

• transmit it to a data folder of the DMD device
• may open DMD2 app, goto GPX-Manager and import the gpx into the app
  (that's similar to MRA-Routeplanner)
• make the imported route or track visible on map
• if start of route or track is close to your location, start to ride, navigation will start automatically

[silberfuchs67]

Hi @Guzzist thanks for your support but I think it was a misunderstanding. I meant, if you decide within DMD2 to navigate the route with MRA the MRA App won‘t open. There is an error message. This issue happens only with MRA, Not with other naviagtion apps, e.g. Kurviger or ….

[infohagentb.nl]

Same problem at my side. Mra start up but then message: this is taking longer than expected! And that is it. Other nav apps work like google maps. Reported problem at dmd2 but get answer that it is a mra problem also because other nav app works.

[silberfuchs67]

Thanks @infohagentb.nl - this is exactly the issue I have.

[Guzzist]

...hmmm understood - but...
Unfortunatelly I only remember slightly about this function. There is a option in the GPS-Settings of DMD2 app, which asks for.
Long time ago, I have switched this option "off" because if I'm just using the DMD2 app (so, I'm inside the app) it seems pointless to me, to open then another app. If this would be my intention, I could open the other app directly upfront...

[Martin Wilcke]

@silberfuchs67

Hmmm..., can't confirm this issue.
I tried it several times, and it worked flawlessly. Are you sure you selected a routable destination?

[silberfuchs67]

I‘ll give it a try and keep you informed!
