back to old situation with 2 apps

[Bouke Ent]

i use MRA for planning but also for navi. for navi it can be MRA Next but also other apps.

In de past there where 2 apps. 1 for general use and 1 for navigation.

because of development MRA Next was both.

Now with limit of Here to 2 items it comes to my mind that some of my items i only use for download and the transfer gpx or kml to navigation app.

i can use webbrowser but it is not so handy.

i would like to back to the past that there is a mobile MRA planning app and a mobile navigation app.

or maybe both but as long you do not navigate there is no count of items in use for here.

They both still exist in white and blue...

@Lex.Kloet.RX, You probably have an old phone on which you never deleted it. As far as I know it cannot be installed from the Playstore anymore.

[Bouke Ent]

the say old MRA app is now MRA Next. old MRA navi i do not want to use any more.

But in fact it is the MRA-webbrowser in an app, the same you get, when you tick on "Routelab" in the app.

Old nav app "Previous..." ) cannot be used anymore at all, it will give errors when you try.

I don't think so... What you did is "appify" the website from your browser. That gives you an icon on your start screen, like an app, but is merely a link to the website that hides the address bar. That's a feature of most modern browsers, and gives you that exact icon indeed.

It does not install an app, but links to a website as if it were an app. The old MRA app is long gone...

i know but still i like idea to have light app just to download routes or tracks from own list. now when i use next app i have to logoff other and if use webbrowser on phone it is not practical. solution would be a simple mobile website but then you have to be online. i like that all is offline.

The old MRA mobile app was definitely not a planning app. It was merely an app for tracking and a portal to the website. All that is possible in our MyRoute-app app.

The old mobile app and MRA Navigation (the old navigation app) are discontinued, not supported and cannot be downloaded.

[Bouke Ent]

that is just what i mean. i miss option just a app that is a portal with mij routes and can be offline used in other apps like garmin drive or komoot. with combined app there is the limit off 2 items and you have to troggle logon/logoff even when you do not want to navigate but only download. the main routelab webbrowser is not practical at this moment for use.

as i said maybe when remake routelab there can come a more easy to use mobile version that can do the job. only you have to be then allways online.

i use a lot komoot for walking and biking and make my route in MRA webplanner. MRA Next with here map is not very easy to use when walking or biking.

That's not different then the old app.

gezien alle reactie begrijp dat er een misverstand is hoe ik deze discussie wilde starten. mijn focus is de toekomst en niet het verleden. in het verleden waren er 2 apps maar ik heb het niet over hoe ze werkten maar het idee dat er 2 apps zijn. ik zou het dus aangenaam vinden dat de huidige app gesplitst kan worden in een download zijde en een navigatie zijde. zouden 2 apps kunnen zijn maar het zou ik intern gesplitst kunnen zijn.
ik begrijp dat veel mensen geen probleem hebben met logon/logoff ivm Here zijn redenen maar dat geldt volgens mij alleen als je ook daadwerkelijk de kaart gebruik. in geval van een OSM route of track gebruik je Navigatie kaarten van here niet maar download je alleen de route of track.

het zou dan leuk zijn als je dus offline je routes heb en die indien nodig download en gebruikt in navigatie die je dan wenst.

maar ik begrijp dat mijn discussie verkeerd begrepen word.

wederom het was geen vraag hoe iets werkte maar een opmerking hoe ik een voordeel zou zien in 2 aparte apps.

@Con-Hennekens aha, so I am fucked by Chrome

@Bouke-Ent Please respect the official language of the forum and especially the language in which the thread is started.

[Bouke Ent]

given all the response understand that there is a misunderstanding how I wanted to start this discussion. my focus is the future and not the past. in the past there were 2 apps but I am not talking about how they worked but the idea that there are 2 apps. i would therefore like it that the current app can be split into a download side and a navigation side. could be 2 apps but it could be I split internally.
i understand that many people have no problem with logon/logoff because of Here are reasons but that only applies if you actually use the map. in case of an OSM route or track you do not use Navigation maps of here but you only download the route or track.

It would be nice if you have your routes offline and download them if necessary and use them in navigation that you wish.

But I understand that my discussion is misunderstood.

Again it was not a question how something worked but a comment how I would see an advantage in 2 separate apps.

sorry you are right.

There are two apps: MRA and NN.
It’s no coincidence, but rather by design, that you can use both on an iPhone, iPad or Carpe Iter.

Use MRA for navigation,
and use Navigation Next for a smooth journey.
