How to exclude short time road blocks during navigation
-
@Nick-Carthew I recommend to try it. With tomtom you can mark any instruction on your route (like take the next exit) as to be avoided and tomtom will find another way to your destination. It then shows a white route representing the new way to your destination (in addition to the original blue route). And you will get navigation instructions on how to follow this new way.
@Herman-Veldhuizen Thank you, I am fully aware of how the avoid part of the route works, I have it on my Rider 500 so I know it isn’t an ideal solution. You not only need to stop to make any adjustments but you also need knowledge of the name or the number of the roads or the next instruction on the list is before choosing to avoid it.

I think you have to distinguish between two scenarios when faced with sudden road closures.
On minor roads, you can try to bypass the closure ‘by sight’. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it’s doable.
On the motorway, this is more difficult, as the map showing the route scrolls off the small display. If the app now wants to divert me at the next exit, I don’t know whether it’s trying to take me back or whether that’s a way back onto the route (somewhere past the closure).
That’s why I think it’s so important to be able to mark a closure in some way (e.g. by pressing a button), so that the app definitely doesn’t try to take that exit again. -

Hello @Corjan-Meijerink,
I’ve been an enthusiastic user of MRA for years (including as a Lifetime Member).
There’s one issue I keep running into, and I’d like to clarify it.
It happened to me many times that I suddenly come across a last-minute road closure that isn’t shown on the maps and therefore not accounted for in the planning.
With Calimoto (yes, yes, that was a long time ago), I could dynamically block the section of road ahead of me (1 km, 5 km, ...) so that the navigation would route me around the blocked section.
With MRA, I don’t know how to do that. If I simply take a different route, MRA guides me back to the exact spot that’s blocked after a few minutes. Then I have to switch to Google Maps, which I’d really try to avoid.
What is MRA’s approach to roads that are blocked at short notice? What should the user do to avoid being directed into the roadblock over and over again? Just deleting one or two shaping points ahead doesn't help.
Thanks for your answer.
Best, Axel
