MyRoute-App - worst navigation experience ever

[Marinus van Deudekom]

De route op jouw CarPlay scherm is identiek aan die welke in je telefoon op het scherm komt.
Wel is het een bekend probleem, dat nog verder onderzocht wordt, de combinatie van sommige telefoons en CP of AA niet lekker verloopt.
Kun je aangeven wat er fout gaat zodat we je dat misschien mee kunnen helpen
Als we het probleem kunnen isoleren, kunnen we het in de regel ook oplossen.
De beperkingen die door Apple en Google zijn opgelegd zien niet op het navigeren zelf. Alleen op wat je op je CP scherm te zien kunt krijgen. Dat heeft op zich niks te maken met het navigeren zelf.
Stuur me anders en link naar een van die routes, dan kijk ik daar naar om je te helpen met het isoleren van het probleem

Gebruik je de originele kabel of een Apple Certified kabel. Dit kan absoluut invloed hebben op de stabiliteit.
Daarnaast moet je tijd wennen aan een stuk software. Ze namelijk allemaal bepaalde eigenaardigheden. Die moet je doorgronden

@pvspike I've been using MyRoute app as my primary navigation tool for the past 15 months despite having a Garmin Zumo XT. (Earlier testing is on this thread) two years ago. I have a 2021 MY Honda Africa twin with Android Auto and was using a wired connection until October 2025 until the wired connection to my phone got wet on tour (In Scotland) and I had to revert to my ZumoXT. I now use it with a wireless dongle. I have found the app very stable for over a year and have used it on 5 multi day trips in that period leading up to eight other riders. I have a lifetime gold subscription and the 5.2 iteration of the app is very good for me as I often design my routes with optional "Loops" so that they can be bypassed so I can now select a forward waypoint to bypass loops as required. I also use OSMand+ from time to time for off road tracks and hill walking. But it's much less user friendly than MRA for motorcycle navigation and creating Via points with information and skipping optional parts of routes is much more difficult as the navigation is Track based.

I keep my XT as a backup these days and for proximity alerted POI's which neither MRA or OSMand+ do.

I am not saying @thomas-piechocki has no problems, but I have to say I am overall satisfied+ regarding MRA Navigation App. I rode Scotland with it on a €60 6,25" Wireless AA display from our Chinese friends. And Yes: every sometimes connection is lost. I thought I could reduce that to having a less good GPS signal, resulting in a position calculation error, which resulted in restart of the communication: BT connect, WiFi connect and on it goes; automaticly. Sometimes 5 times aday sometimes ten. This reaction might be dependent of the used AA display. Other improvement point, which is far more anoying, is the behaviour wg\hen you come to a standstill. suddenly the screen starts rotating, preferably in the opposite direction from where you came. If you have a bad direction-antenna like me, you are constantly turning arround because MRA tells you so. Look fairly simple to solve using the speed: under 5 kmh, no updates needed. edit: Meanwhile noticed: the "Map Spinning" issue.

For @thomas-piechocki: I use a S25 android phone with offline navigation as much as I can. This saves a lot battery and data. My phone is in the tankbag and is connected to a powerbank: always a stable supply. Hope this helps you a bit.

Ik heb het zelfde meegemaakt, Met MRA Carplay er moet een Software fout in zitten. Vanaf de 5.2 update
Met de ander apps geen probleem, zoals Osmand en Kurvinger
ik zou zeggen duik daar eens in .

Ik ben net terug van een 4 weken vakantie UK (Wales en lake District).
Ik heb al mijn zelfgemaakte routes, die hoofdzakelijk over de smalste wegen gaan, met de auto perfect kunnen rijden.
Routepunten moeten soms handmatig worden overgeslagen door wegafzettingen etc, maar dat gaat eigenlijk feilloos.
Ik heb al de mooie passen in Wales en lake Districht gereden (o.a Honnister Pass, Wrynose Pass, Kirkstone Pass, Hardknott Pass etc).
De combinatie Iphone 14+,IOS 26.5, Apple Carplay Ford Puma icm wireles adapter Carlikit 2 air en tevens een hele goedkope Ali adapter werkten gewoonweg feilloos.
De Online en daarnaast in enkele gevallen ook de Offline mode gebruikt.
Ik heb geen issues kunnen ontdekken.
Dus complimenten voor MRA!

I am having a lot of issues with Android auto:
Switch on bike/nav after a stop & it just spins for minutes before I give up
After a stop it sometimes does allow me to resume, but often doesn't and I have to restart the route which it doesn't skip waypoints on to my current position
Erratic behaviour where it doesn't think I've moved from where I switched on and draws straight lines for my track
I have written to support to see if it's something I'm doing wrong, but I will not use it again unless there is a clear explanation.
It feels like the focus is on new features rather than a 100% reliable navigator.

Although I use MRA without Android Auto, I've read several times that you should disable location sharing in the Android Auto app settings—maybe you should try that this time.

Regarding your comment that the system doesn't recognize your location, you can adjust this in the routing settings when starting a route

“Start at the nearest waypoint”
“Use current location”

If you decide to use MRA via Android Auto, it's important to use the correct settings.

This has been discussed several times here in the forum...please use the search function to get to this threads.

The MRA support page also explains which settings have which effects.

Please enter “Android Auto” in the search function there and check whether your settings are correct.
