A simplified navigation-only tutorial

[LennyO]

Nice job!
Here is the MRA Route Experts guide to the colors:

Wow, very good and perfect for beginners.
Can I use it for my German Facebook group? The subtitle translates it to German perfectly.

Sure. It's on "free" YouTube hosting (ie they make money by stuffing ads on the start of my video ) so no problems sharing with others.

I subtitled the English manually so I'm glad to hear the German auto translation works well.

@Lenny-O Yes - Nick showed me the official colour guidance. I simplified the wording a bit in my video as part of making everything easier to understand. I think the colour coding is very useful, although I've noticed that some route authors interpret it in slightly different ways (hence the rules).

And in the colour guide it is a bit strange to allow yellow shaping points -- either they are via points (which might have descriptions) or shaping points (which are irrelevant to the driver as long as he/she follow the route).

One complexity is that different terminology seems to turn up in documentation and in the apps, for "way", "via" and "shaping" point. I tried to choose the best options while keeping it very simple.

@Anonymouse All good, was just sharing

A hint, you don't really need that with the download if you always simply synchronize all routes...

[Nick Carthew]

@Hubert-Thoring Routes sent to you in an email or via social media can be navigated offline without syncing or downloading. If you navigate the route it automatically goes into the download folder. You can only sync routes that are in your route library.

@Hubert-Thoring yes but does that work if they only have a subscription to Navigation Next?

Then probably not then you should use the download option !!️

@Anonymouse Very impressive! If I may ask: What tool exactly did you use to archieve the video (the visuals)? How did the AI produce a correct looking MRA user interface - are these parts screen grab from the phone?

Still image of presenter generated in ChatGPT. Animated with Heygen using prompts built by ChatGPT and my voice for intonation and speed. Assembled by hand in Adobe Premiere Pro as I just couldn't get enough control in any of the (many) demo-building tools I looked at. The screen grabs are recorded on a phone or desktop and imported into Premiere Pro. I used an iPhone template from videowizard.io to surround it. Background music from Adobe Premiere Pro because I didn't have the time to generate my own.

@Anonymouse Thanks for your detailed response. Sounds like you know what you are doing, and the results certainly demonstrate it. Well done!
