@Marinus-van-Deudekom as far as I know build 462 is public. I’m not participating to the beta program with Android and it is the current version on Android.

Run the new version today on an Android Phone. Offline 162 mile route with 32 waypoints. No issues at all. Will test again tomorrow on the Africa Twin AA screen. Good job.

So interesting how many people report how much better this version works while others still have problems.

Rest assured, we will continue this journey to further improve the app!

Hello all !
Used the 5.1 version from Romania to Hungary and back using Android Auto. Truly impressed that track recording was working even after a refuel stop, si thats perfect. The only thing I am not sure about is the route loading directly from Android Auto. Before I was able to select the route and start it, but now it only works from my phone ( on the display I get an message that loading routes while driving is not possible …but I was standing still while trying that )
So maybe there is a glitch or I am not doing something right ?
Thanks !

Can confirm HERE released their update yesterday.
Expecting to implement that tomorrow in the app and push towards a quick Alpha / Beta / release.

I'll even try to add POI management / persistent map items and road avoidance features
Hopefully their SDK works as expected with the fix for map spinning.

Which Version will this be?

Went on tour to Wales from Ireland and was pleasently surprised with the auto update and love the new features. CarPlay is much more resilient. The Compass is a brilliant addition. It's just simpler to use. I am pleased to say that MRA has become my default sat-nav in both my car and on moto.
Congratulations.
Looking forward to the next surprises. Thank-you

Follow up to yesterday's post using the app on an Android phone. I used the same phone today Motorola Edge Neo 40 (Offline) connected to the Android Auto screen of my Honda Africa twin. 82 mile route with 67 waypoints (its all backroads) no issues including missing some waypoints as one of the roads was closed due to roadworks. No high power use or other weird behaviour. Seems as stable as it was yesterday just using the phone.

Tested the app again and everything works perfectly. What an amazing app it has become. In 3 weeks I’m heading to Norway, and the only navigation app coming with me is MyRoute-app
