New update 5.2 - Avoid roadblocks, persistent map items, POI management and share

When navigating…. Push “…”-button. Then “Avoidance options”.
What I meant was being able to deselect highways as allowed on-the-fly, while navigating. Not so much fastest/shortest, if that is what you were looking for.

That's how it works in the app, but not on AA/CP, since there it is no button (prohibited) but just an info tile. The intended gas station will be the first suggestion when you go into the menu to add a gasstation.

Strange, why should that be prohibited??? There are already buttons to stop or change things. At Google Maps you also have buttons to report construction zones, accidents, there is a button to add another destination and more.

So a simple button, that would not even change the entire screen/interface, that would just add a stop behind the scene to the route should not be possible?

Ask Google or Apple; the restrictions in AA/CP are unbelievable. I believe the MRA team would make it possible if not restricted.

Nice update. First time I rode multiple days with a version which has the yellow arrows on the routeline. Very good idea/suggestion. A few times it helped me solving direction questions.

Stability wise. MRA has come a long way. But please keep pushing on the stability. There are still issues.
1.
Had it before.
Today I rode under bridge and on that exact moment MRA hangs. GPS loss. Restarting the route solved the issue.

This is more though
After lunch MRA wouldn't start navigating. Map with route was visible. But current speed and altimeter stayed empty (--). Restarting the route or app did not solve the problem. I had to reboot the whole phone to get it solved. That shouldn't be a solution. Ideally restarting the app should be the most severe solution to solve problems.
It costed me 5-10 minutes to solve this problem today.

With AA it seems to depend on your configuration. You have some serious problems. On the other hand I dont at all and that makes me wonder. I had a Skoda yeti with a Dutch brand screen in it witch was put in when I bought the car. No problems there. I recently bought a Kia Niro EV with the factory entertainment screen in it and that doesn't give me any problems either. To say it in Dutch, schiet mij maar lek. My phone stayed the same one the screens changed.

When driving tracks the "Roadblock" feature is not available. Will this become available later?

[Axel Härtl]

@KeesV

Hi Kees,

By definition, tracks (unlike routes) are followed exactly as specified. A deviation—in this case, a detour due to a road closure—is therefore generally not provided for.

Best, Axel

[Marinus van Deudekom]

It's on the wishlist

[KeesV]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom
Thanks, that's good to know!

[Aiello antonino]

I can't figure out how to change the settings for for example, AVOID HIGHWAY, without having to restart everything... thanks!

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Aiello-antonino Whilst the navigation is running... click on the three dots in the bottom right-hand corner, then go to ‘Avoidance options’ and enable the desired settings.

The system will recalculate immediately.

[Aiello antonino]

Thanks! I didn't see there were other options on the menu! Excellent!

[Kirsten De Weerd]

Any plans on making the Roadblock feature available on CarPlay?
Or is it hidden somewhere and haven't I found it yet?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Kirsten-De-Weerd needs to be added later!

I'm on 5.2.1 on iPhone and I can't see the new featured, like RoadBlock and changing avoidance while navigating a route?

[Nick Carthew]

@Sigurður-Pétursson-0 While navigating a route open the navigation menu, three dots bottom right of the screen.

[Sigurður Pétursson 0]

@Nick-Carthew I tried that, however, if I select a single destination and Navigate, I have all the options, RoadBlock and Avoidance, just not when I select one of the routes from my library!

[Nick Carthew]

@Sigurður-Pétursson-0 That is because you have Navigate routes as tracks selected. Go to Navigation settings > Functional > Track navigation and turn off Navigate routes as tracks

Hi @nick-carthew, I've checked but I'm struggling to find this important point documented in the manual anywhere! Perhaps I missed it.

[Nick Carthew]

@Stevedo-6-0 A track cannot be manipulated the same way that a route can, hence the Roadblock option is not an option for track navigation. There is a mention that route and track navigation have their differences in section 7 - Navigation of the Mobile app manual.
