I tried Stegra and it does this part better. I like MRA, no question. Maybe there will be a change in the new web planner. Would be nice to hear a bit about future plans. Other competitor make a lot of advertising about the next big thing.

@Thomas-Neumeyer What competitor would that be and what is their next ‘big thing’?
Always willing to help if I can.
Triumph Tiger 1200 XRT called Tina.
MRA Navigation Next and SilverFox BJ8 -
In the old days with basecamp:
Carpe Iter Ci V4/ Garmin Zumo XT2/XT/BMW Connected Ride Navigator/MyRouteapp (The App)
Een dag niet gelachen is een dag niet geleefd / Een route is net zo goed als deze uitgezet is. -

Exactly! "No-Go-Areas" is one of the most underrated features in planning tools. Hopefully, the new MRA Web Planner will implement this!

@Nick-Carthew I don't know if you consider DMD2 as a competition. I am following them in Facebook and they always spoiler their new developments and what is coming next. There will be a big change in their app especially the UI and the web planner has got also some updates. I am aware that the market group for DMD2 and MTA might be different.

@Martin-Wilcke Would be a nice feature. Indeed.

@Thomas-Neumeyer yea - that's the new age: every tool want do everythig. But that's not that easy - expecially if there is a long history in their own development. This often makes it difficult to develop complete new things in very short time.
I have used lot of navigation systems to compare and I'm using MRA since very long time, in meantime with conviction. Because it's the best Planner on market for onroad.
Now I have the feeling, development consider also offroad.For offroad, I use - also with conviction DMD Planner and DMD2 App. Because DMD has a huge lead in development for this terrain. Nowadays, the try also routing at onroad. But the result is still quite modest. If they really would reach the level of MRA, that's not sure...
So, as long as there us no "Swiss Army Knive" in navigation, I use the best tool for each purpose.
Nothing is impossible ;-)
In past: GARMIN Zumo 210->GARMIN Zumo 395->GARMIN XT=> now: DMD T865-X + MyRoute-App, LocusMaps, OsmAnd.
In past: GARMIN MapSource ->GARMIN BaseCamp->Tyre->Kurviger->Calimoto=> now: MRA-Routplanner. -

@Guzzist I fully agree with you. Nothing is perfect and we have to select the application according to its purpose. Still it would be a great thing to avoid a city if you can select it to be avoided.

Even if this discussion is now off-topic:
There are many planning and navigation apps, each with its own focus and pros and cons.
But there is something that sets the DMD ecosystem apart from all the others: the way it works with its users. From the very beginning, both the app and the web planner were developed with strong community interaction. New ideas are born in chats, discussed with developers, and often built and launched quickly, sometimes within hours. New versions are distributed from their own servers for DMD devices, not via Google Play.
Of course, this also has disadvantages: complexity is increasing rapidly, stability is a real issue, and documentation is nearly always out of date or even non-existent. Almost all users use the beta version because they want the latest features. Agile extreme.
Nevertheless, the development continues to be fueled by enough enthusiasts — it will be impressive to see how this progresses.
