    Hello Team.

    I understand there must be a financial reason for using HERE as the base map for the routplanner and Navigation. But to be blunt, that map S#cks.
    End of last year they started some roadworks close to my house which finished already in March this year. HERE maps still shows that road as closed, even though I already sent a correction (as advised by MRA) months ago. It still isn't updated.
    We drove 2 weeks through Norway about two weeks ago, using the MRA Planner and Navigation and we had several roads which were closed and not reported as such by HERE. Seasonal closures still shown on HERE as closed which were already opened for weeks.

    I know MRA can't do much about that, but using those maps has a direct influence on your software and by their fault makes yours untrustworthy. In one case we had to make a 75 km detour because a tunnel was closed which was not reported by HERE. (To be honost, best detour I had in years šŸ˜Ž )

    Me personally, I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra to be able to make use of base maps which do perform a regular base update on the current situations (like Google Maps, Waze or TomTom).

    Hopefully there will be change in this situation because I really like both applications and have been using them for 15 years already (Switched from TomTom nav to MRA Navigation last year).

          I totally agree with you on that.
          I, too, would be willing to pay more right away for Google, for example.
