    @Adrian-Avram Hi Adrian, thanks for detailed information.

    Just one question from my side...

    Did you navigate online or offline?

    Online! I never switched the app to offline mode because it successfully rerouted me whenever I encountered traffic jams. Even in areas with no reception, it continued to work perfectly for me !
    Also I did not used track recording, because I have a GPS tracker on the bike (Sizzapp) and its constantly recording GPX files for me.

    Best regards,

      @Adrian-Avram Thank you very much for the information.
      I’m not sure, but I’m starting to suspect that the hardware might also be contributing to the glitches or crashes after all.

        Hi everyone,

        I'd like to share my experience using MRA during a 9,200 km round trip (13 days) from Romania to Nordkapp and back planned in 5 parts (https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/folder/13247596?mode=share).
        Throughout the entire journey, I relied exclusively on the MRA app, connected via Android Auto to my Chigee AIO-5 Play.

        Before leaving, I also prepared all my routes in OsmAnd as a backup, just in case something went wrong with MRA. Fortunately, I have nothing but praise for the app. It performed flawlessly, and the latest Android Auto features were incredibly useful—especially in Sweden and Finland, where the display of the next fuel station proved invaluable. Gas stations can be very far apart there, so planning fuel stops carefully is essential to avoid running out of fuel.

        The speed limit information displayed by the app was spot on throughout the trip. I barely had to pay attention to road signs because the app was consistently accurate.

        The app remained stable the entire time, without a single crash or Android Auto connectivity issue. On the final day of the trip, I rode all the way from Lithuania to Romania—1,600 km and 18 hours—with only fuel stops.

        Once I got home, I uninstalled OsmAnd because I simply don't need it anymore....

        The latest update has made MRA even more stable than I expected. Now I'm looking forward to the upcoming update that will fix the map rotation when the bike is stationary. That was the only issue I encountered, mainly while waiting at traffic lights in cities. I know this isn't the MRA developers' fault, and I'm confident it will be resolved soon.

        After this trip, I can confidently say that MRA is the best and most useful app for planning and navigating motorcycle routes.

        Keep up the great work !

          Thanks for sharing this great report!
          It shows what we aim for, a great experience!
          It also proves that Android Auto works well. Or at least, the foundation does. Not saying that people aren’t having issues because they do. This just confirms that it can all work like we hope 🙂
