@Stephan-Dornberg The handling of POI's in the MRA route planner is a bit odd at the moment. If you bring in a number of waypoints from Google MyMaps to form a route it will accept : GPX, ITN, TRF, TPF, KML, KMZ, TAR.GZ.
Files and the enhanced information for the waypoints (but not the hyperlinks) are retained. To do this you just export the relevant Waypoints from MyMaps (you can select just the waypoints you want in mymaps it does not have to be the whole dataset) and download them to your computer as KML and then upload them directly as KML to MRA route planner. They will come in as a route joined by roads.

POI's can only be uploaded as OV2, GPX, CSV. MyMaps can export waypoints as CSV but for that data set the location information was not coming over correctly. I'm sure you could correct this in the CSV file using Excel or Google Sheets. However, in this case I took a shortcut as Basecamp can import KML/KMZ files from MyMaps directly then export them as GPX. When I imported the GPX file created by Basecamp to the POI library of MRA routeplanner the spatial/location information was correctly read and displayed in MRA. This takes much longer to explain than to do 😄 If MRA could import POI's directly from MyMaps KML/KMZ files it would be helpful.

@Piet65 om welke kaart gaat het? met HERE heb ik geen problemen.

Same Issue.. why oh why did I update my phone 2 days before leaving on a trip... 😭

@M-Schrijver Yes, the display was set off the chart.
No it wasn't my intention, as I'd always used the phone in portrait mode, it was only when the other half was driving and I turned the phone to landscape, that's when I noticed all the information wasn't there.
All sorted now, I'm happy to say.

@Corjan-Meijerink said in Small info, need glasses.:

@ian-davies-2 happy to read you are enjoy using the app! 🙂
The suggestion you gave is not something that will be implemented in the nearby future. It sort of removes all the fun stuff from navigating however it would be very clear to read! 😉

It could be an option to implemented when your wish list is empty.
A kind of "Easy Mode"
I can see the attraction of the Beeline principle.
A simple single color screen with a large navigation symbol, navigation line and a few side roads for orientation.

@Herman-Veldhuizen said in App does recalculate despite recalculation setting being off:

Personally I think that shaping points should be very simple and only play a role in shaping the route

@Rob-Kelley said in Make locking the screen easier:

@Bouke-Ent
When locked a padlock icon will appear on the screen, tap that to unlock.

thanks, hope it will not effect rain. ok but i will try next spring.

@Corjan-Meijerink man, there are so many screen functions, short press, long press, pop ups, options. I don't think I will ever be able to remember them all. I guess this happens when you try to satisfy every user wish and whim. Eventually it will get too complicated.

This is a photo of me testing an earlier iteration of the App against my Garmin Zumo XT. The last two versions of the app. I'm now on 4.3.4 -375 have worked perfectly for me on my Africa Twin and VW ID3

However, I still think that using Android Auto or Apple Carplay could add levels of troubleshooting if you are having problems. The head unit, the connection (wired or Wifi) and the phone (particularly AA or CP settings) or competing apps (Bluetooth) could all lead to issues that may not be connected to the app that you are using.

The two that I have encountered over the past year and a half of experimenting with MRA and OSMand are. The data cable not streaming enough data. This was cured by purchasing a high data transfer up to 10 Gbps Amazon Basics cable (about £7) I think. My newest phone glitching when it became charged to 100% and was switching off Android Auto. This was a setting in Android 14 OS which flashed a message on screen that the phone had reached 100% and simultaneously switched off AA. That took some googling to work out and switch off in the Android settings.

Up to now I've continued to use my Garmin Zumo XT as my Primary navigation device. Now however, the latest version of the app is so good for me I think from now on I will use it for primary navigation with the Zumo as a backup. Not least because I can control the app with the Honda bar buttons which I can't do with the Zumo.

@Marinus-van-Deudekom
I shared the track with Corjan by email.

In early 2024 there were multiple posting about wrong direction assignments in the UK. I also saw this when i was in Scotland.
This happened only in the UK not in rest of Europe.

I thought it was solved. Clearly not or it is back.

@Corjan-Meijerink
Bedankt voor de info, Het zou kunnen. Ik wacht het gewoon allemaal even af en probeer het in de gaten te houden.

Not in the very nearby future

@Rob-Kelley Yes I have but that doesn't seem to make a difference . What DOES seem to make a difference is the setting to navigate the route as a track. Because I just had the following : Edit route shows a proper route but if I go straight to Navigate (after having selected the route from the list) some sections are straight lines but some aren't!

However when I set the setting Navigate as track to OFF the straight lines do not appear other than at the start.

@Corjan-Meijerink

thanks for the update! i tested myroute last year and had a problem that prevented me from purchasing it at the time - i have made a post about it here: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/38397

with the new update, do you belive it is now fixed? will the route/track i create in the browser now be exactly the same in the mobile app? thank you for your time
