Update 5.0 - major app overhaul!

[Con Hennekens]

Indeed, the placement of waypoints is way off in planning mode. I (we) missed that completely in our alpha testing, because we were unaware that anything concerning the changed GUI would impact the (as we thought unchanged) planner module. This proves the value beta testing

[Corjan Meijerink]

Tablets will be optimised before release for sure! @Peter-Schiefer

Edit: not so much tablet as indeed some landscape mode improvements but tablet are almost always landscape

[Hubert Thoring]

@Corjan-Meijerink :
Thanks for the user UI update, I will test it extensively, the first impression is Bund and some functions you have to look for.

Attention ️ 1.) Question

I have already noticed that the route A to B is calculated directly after a destination search and only the curvy variants can be selected, how do I select the fastest direct route if I don't like the three possible curvy routes (TrackRoute)?

Or do you have to see it that way the 1.) Navigate = fastest route etc. s. Picture below

Old version :
1.) Route Fast connection
2.-4.) Routen Track

After entering your destination tap Navigate for the fastest option, if you want curvy tap the Scenic button.

Display problem!

The German word for quickest is not displayed.
I would change the translation from "Am schnellsten" into "Schnellste".
Then it would be displayed correctly, as well as "Kürzeste" (shortest)

CarPlay start, the arrow is not centred correctly.

It will move later, after 1-2km to correct position.

Very nice! Good work, MRA dev team.

Minor irritations:

1. Android Back button doesn't exit the app.
2. Forcing users to step through all the features on first starting is unnecessary. A single popup asking if they want to see the latest changes is sufficient.

[Jörgen]

It is not possible to move the menu more up, to see more options.

You also do not see a bar on the side, to make you aware that there are more options.

Only if you move your finger at this area, you see more options and a bar.

Loving the new UI, same minor issues as others have posted about. In relation to the options piece in the post above, it would be great if we could change the travel mode here as well as part of the navigation options. I frequently swap between bike and car and forget to swap it over in the settings.

Great work with the new UI - top job. A couple of issues I experienced today on a quick test route I made with the new planner on the phone (worked well).

Same Point Navigation. The route was deliberately planned with only Via points to see what would happen with recalculation etc. The navigation worked well apart from how the app managed a return to the same point (Waypoint 1 and Waypoint 3) after navigating elsewhere. Regardless of what I did to route to Waypoint 3, the app said Waypoint 1. Videos show me selecting Waypoint from the Waypoints’ list and also manually skipping the Waypoint to 3 with the top right Waypoint Icon. Each time the app went back to showing Waypoint 1!

Car Play Manual Zoom Button. Tested on 2 different devices with the first screenshot on my car’s system through wired connection showing overlapping icons for zoom in and zoom out. Moreover, selecting these buttons made no change on the CarPlay screen.

When trying the same on me Chigee on the bike through wireless connection, the same thing happened but I noticed that the zoom was changing on the iPhone but not on the CarPlay Screen until exited the manual zoom function and then reselected the manual zoom again. This may have also happened on the wired connection:

Exit and re selection of manual zoom:

De app is op Android niet te stoppen vanuit de App zelf. Een quit app optie zou wel prettig zijn. Of na een paar keer terug drukken de App af kunnen sluiten

[Hubert Thoring]

Sorry: 🫣 but through Hamm nobody drives voluntarily with his motorcycle !!!

The update should also please make the topic of routing (curvy route without driving through cities) better or why is routed with the MRA directly through Hamm to get from Winterberg to Münster via Curvy route from A to B.

Unfortunately or why other apps can do that better, or are more successful on route from A to B in curvy ...

———
Sorry: 🫣 aber durch Hamm fährt keiner freiwillig mit seinem Motorrad !!!

Das Update sollte auch bitte das Thema Routing (kurvige Route ohne Städte zu durchfahren) besser machen oder warum wird mit der MRA direkt durch Hamm geroutet um von Winterberg nach Münster über Kurvige Route von A zu B zu kommen.
Leider oder warum können andere Apps das besser, bzw. sind bei Route von A zu B in kurvig erfolgreicher …

Curvy example same A to B task!

——

Kurviger Beispiel gleiche A zu B Aufgabe !

An Hamm vorbe !!

On my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 5G, Android 15, One UI 7.0) it's working perfect to place waypoints by MRA-Routeplanner - in portrait orientation. But in landscape orientation, I recognise same issues.

[Bart De Medts]

Really put the MyRoute-app beta to the test today: 315 km ridden and every single instruction was spot on.
This one’s going to be a winner!

[Guzzist]

It's not an issue of new app version 5.0.0 - 418 - it's also in app version 4.4.1 - 410:
Now, route planning and navigation is going over a street, which is actually closed for roadwork. The map does not longer show the icon for road closed, but only for roadwork!

I'm sure some months before it was correct: route planning and navigation was using a detour. By the way: GoogleMaps is presenting as road closed and is navigating by detour.

[Guzzist]

Because now, the selection buttons on start page of MRA-Routeplanner are organised as flat list (before, the buttons were in 2 columns) - now I need to scroll down to enter a target destination. It's at 4th poition.
Ok, to scroll is not a big thing - but if developers wanted to make it more easy (less clicks) to start navigation - it could be shorter.

It would be more than nice, if developers could make, the position of list entries could be rearranged in list by user.

I use both Android and iOS versions. There is a difference between Start and Finish icons. Really like the Android version with the flags instead of via icons:

iOS 26 - iPhone 15 Pro

Android 16 - Pixel 6 Pro

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Dave-J-0 that’s probably a setting on your side. I guess you enabled track navigation on the Android

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Guzzist it’s actually there already, the search icon which is literally the first option

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Hubert-Thoring we will check this but it’s not really part of the beta

This issue would be there in the website and the current release version.
