MRA Routeplanner, Zumo XT and a list of waypoints
-
Hi all. I have been using the MRA Routeplanner and exporting the routes to my Zumo XT without (many) problems for some time but there’s always been a little issue I’ve had – seeing a list of the waypoints whilst I’m on the bike. I’m sure we’ve all spent quite some time planning our routes and putting waypoints for fuel or coffee but when you’re actually riding, it can be difficult to see much more than the next one. I would like to be able to see a list of the waypoints, or at least the next 5 or 6. It is useful to be able to decide if I need to fill up at the next stop or if I can stretch to the one after that (and if we’re being honest, we’ve all done that when considering toilet stops!) I have exported the route as a PDF and after some cropping and scaling, printed them out and put this in the clear lid on my tank bag. This works but if it rains heavily and you need to re-plan tomorrow’s route you won’t have a printer with you! I could use my phone and show the route on the app but this just adds to the clutter I already have in front of me and isn’t rain friendly. I ride a Honda with an Android Auto screen but the AA version of the app doesn’t show a list of waypoints (does it?) I’ve looked for pdf or image apps for AA but there don’t seem to be any (Google has decided…). Any thoughts or experiences of what others have done?
Cheers, Ian.
