Issues since the 5.1.0-462 update / Crashes and lag
-
Not always... We also had this problem a few times after setting off, after about half an hour or so.
But most problems do tend to occur in the afternoon, after about six to eight hours of driving. -
I think that’s difficult to pinpoint.
I’ve experienced crashes after about 2 hours, as well as after about 5 hours or more. -
Hi everyone,
Ever since the last update (version 5.1.0-462), I’ve been having nothing but problems. Here’s the situation:
We (me and two friends) went to Lake Como the weekend before last (from Friday, May 22, to Sunday, May 24, 2026). Both of my friends have iPhones (one has an iPhone 13 Pro and the other an iPhone 15 Pro) and received the update a week earlier. I myself have an Android phone running version 16.
I drove to Lake Como on Friday still using the “old” version, and everything went smoothly as always. That evening in bed, I saw that MRA had an update and installed it full of joy and confidence in the new features.
When we set off on Saturday, the problems began. I should also mention that the friend with the iPhone 15 Pro had been in Sardinia with another group a week earlier and had already experienced problems there, which I’ll mention shortly.
What were my—or rather, our—problems? The MRA navigation app kept crashing. And when did that happen? Always at the worst possible moment, such as in a city with many turns or roundabouts, or in areas we weren’t familiar with. At times, I couldn’t even launch the app anymore.
Consequently, the tracklog was no longer recorded, so we simply had a straight line across the map.
What also happened halfway through the trip—or at the latest three-quarters of the way through—was that the navigation cursor started to stutter or lag, which suddenly isn’t so fun anymore when you’re in a city or in an area where you have to make a lot of right and left turns.
When I’d drive out of a hairpin turn and, say, find myself back on a straight stretch 100 meters later, the cursor was still at the hairpin turn.
Last weekend (from Thursday, May 28, to Sunday, May 31, 2026), we spent four days at Lake Garda. The night before, I had cleared the cache just to be safe (which works on Android phones; I have no idea if it works on iPhones too), but the problems on the way there were still there.
That evening, I deleted all the data, uninstalled the app, even restarted the phone, and, full of confidence and hoping that this would solve the problems, reinstalled the app. But for the remaining three days, the problems were still there.
My logical conclusions:
- If I were the only one experiencing this problem, it would either be a local issue with my phone or a problem with Android phones in general.
- But since both of my friends have also had problems with it since the update (for both Android and iPhones), I believe it must necessarily be an issue with the update.
- This is also shown by the fact that on Friday, May 22, when I drove to Lake Como using the “old” version, I had absolutely no problems. It all started after the update, both for me and for my friends.
- I also did what was described: I deleted the data, restarted my phone, and reinstalled the app, but nothing changed. Constant crashes and lag.
What has been your experience with the new update?
Best regards,
Massimo
P.S.: Before the update, I never—and I mean NEVER—had any problems with the navigation. Everything always ran smoothly and perfectly.

Hi, OP's post is exactly what I have experienced on my trip to Garda and Trento last week on my Android phone. First, I thought the Android Auto was the culprit of the lag, but no, even using app just on the phone, each time there was a lag, I had to restart the app for it to work only for a few minutes. The real issue is that you're in hairpins and constantly need to think which turn you are taking. This resulted in countless turnarounds, recalculations, etc, not so great if you are leading the group. Another massive issue is that very tight hairpins on top of each other look to the navigation as if you are still in the same spot, a couple of hairpins below, then it starts recalculating, switching from online to offline mode, and everything is delayed. This is almost unusable in real time.
What can be done to fix this? Because as OP pointed out, in the city or tight mountain roads, this isn't working, and the motorcycling trip is exactly that, not straight roads. I don't need a navigation for that or MRA to be more precise.
thanks

Hairpins are indeed difficult voor navigations. I've got lot experience with TomTom Go (Expert). At first TomTom had also this issue. But they managed to solve this. I don't how they solved it. But it looks like they do a similar thing as in tunnels. Assuming you stay on track whit the same pace.

Same problem I was facing. After 2-3 hours app stopped working. New version not used yet for longer time.
-
I wonder if the 'Tracklog' feature is filling the processing capabilities and cachiing the data?
Would it be worth a long trip without recording a tracklog perhaps to see if it frees up some processing bandwidth? -
Today I navigated 460 km from Copenhagen to Hamburg in just under 5 hours—a total of 2 crashes, the first after about 50 minutes and the second about halfway through the trip. The app closed on my phone, but after reopening it, I was able to continue navigating. Once again, I couldn't save the track log.
