Now the question if I will keep my phone cool in summer.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞 😉
Depends on the windflow too, and if or what case you use.

@Peter-Zehentreiter Usually when i encounter something like this, i check also on TomTom's planner, on Maps and Waze as well. Never found a road that was closed permanently, only during winter/spring, thats why I suggested to use the Disable Seasonal Closure menu.

@Marinus-van-Deudekom ...

About the brightness it's true, it's not excellent but if you choose the right map, with strong contrasts, like Michelin, even in full sunlight and from behind my back, I saw the directions without problems, and I wear sunglasses and the helmet visor lowered. Of course, if it were brighter it would be better but I wonder... do we ride a motorbike to look at the world or do we ride a motorbike to look at a display?

Maybe the truth depends on how we understand the information of our trip. I plan a tour, usually with an average of 700 km.. I don't look for particular points of attraction, just the track, preferably curved and I avoid large cities and highways. If I discover something interesting along the way I stop, otherwise I continue to go on my track. So, what I need is to see the track on the display to follow, not to miss intersections, roundabouts, etc.. I don't go beyond that. My wife and I like to sit on the bike for as long as possible. So, a cell phone with these features is more than enough, also because I don't find it very safe to look at the display often. Others, however, understand the trip completely differently from mine, they prefer to have as much information as possible. The world is beautiful because it is varied.

Most users will have a home address in there though…

Just a thought😀

Het is zou mogelijk zijn om de melding van een via-punt later te krijgen door op ongeveer 1 km voor het via-punt een routepunt neer te zetten. Pas nadat het routepunt gepasseerd is, wordt de tekst van het Via punt dan voorgelezen

@Patrick-3a Fijn dat het nu probleemloos werkte.
De kaarten dien je inderdaad zelf nog te downloaden! 🙂

@Carl-Taylor-0 I am 60 in this May and I am sure you will have a lot of fun during this trip 🙂
I would suggest this book

There is also a second part. It was very useful for me, you can set your trip along your expectations and skills.

@toni-ccc said in voertuig auto of motor:

but when I choose "motorcycle" as a vehicle instead of "car" that route is an hour shorter

That's probably because on the Motorcycle you can filter through traffic so you arrive 1 hour earlier than in a car.

I plan according to miles. Just keep in mind 200 miles on motorway is way shorter than 200 miles on twisty roads.

With time you can gauge how many miles takes how long depending on the route, also going through cities will add a lot of time.

Ride safe 🍻

Welcome @DiddyLee. People are here to help.

@ginogino said in How to avoid shortcuts:

@ginogino

I may have found a way to display shortcuts in the design phase, although I don't understand why they show up.
Comparing the route plotted with the Here maps (which if I'm not mistaken are the ones you use for navigation with the myroute app) with the Tom Tom maps, you see the shortcuts as in this case:

by putting a shaping point on the route you should be able to avoid the unsolicited diversions, but anyway because with Tom Tom you can see them.

This is the route in question:

This was tough learning for me, too. Especially in Italy, Navigation would lead me into smallest backyards and even narrow steeps. It´s not fault of MRA, but of Here.

Lesson lerned: stay on the main roads, if you did not place a via or shaping point anywhere near where Navigation wants you to leave that road. Or if you´re very eager for some adventures. Once I got so stuck, I had to rotate the bike on the sidestand. Thank god I had learned that technique already by then, because the bike was fully loaded and geared up for a two weeks trip.^^

This is what can happen to you if you want to be adventurous... 🙂

@Con-Hennekens said in Navigate a route as track -> user error?:

@Erdna said in Navigate a route as track -> user error?:

Is this kind of navigation just ignoring any shaping points or what else could I´ve possibly done wrong?

No, on the contrary... Usually a sensible way back to the track is provided. What could have gone wrong is that you touched the screen on the routline, specifying your re-entry to the track, indeed by the fastest way. This can simply be corrected by (long)pressing the route line on a point near your location, the track will be re-entered from there.

As far as I rember, I did not touch anything at all. I did not need to, because I know every bend and bump on that roads. But I think we will not get this sorted. I will give Track navigation another try some other time and will update here.

@Corjan-Meijerink Ok I´ll wait until I get some more infromation from your side concerning the C1 Controller, then I will decide between SilverFox and Carpe Iter.

Thanks
Peter

Exactly how I intended it to be.
We force track navigation as it works great now and it's the only sensible choice for OSM / TomTom routes 🙂

@Con-Hennekens There is no doubt about it when I speak to fellow riders about MyRoute app and how it all works, they suddenly have a confused look on their face. I suspect that with the benefit of hindsight the creators would name the Planner/App/Navigation components differently if they were starting over again. I too have made made similar mistakes with the naming and have been corrected like I'm an imbecile. Admins, please don't take your frustrations out on your users. 👍

@Corjan-Meijerink Thank you 👍

@Nick-Carthew Iv not upgraded to a trial. When I press this button now it says 'Thid feature is no longer available (anymore)'.

@MarcM Helaas zijn de beperkingen opgelegd door zowel Apple als Google van dien aard dat niet alle informatie die je wel op je telefoon ziet ook getoond MAG worden op het Carplay of Android Auto scherm. Niet iets waar onze Devs niets aan zouden willen doen maar vooral de door Appel en Google opgelegde beperkingen

Waar dit over gaat, is dat Google stopt met de Android Auto functies op Android telefoontoestellen. Je krijgt dus geen AA scherm meer op je telefoon als je AA start. De embedded AA in AA/CP devices blijft uiteraard gewoon werken, met alle telefoons vanaf Android 8.0.
