A simplified navigation-only tutorial
-
For a car club looking to try MRA on a scenic drive, I have built a tutorial video for MyRoute-App Navigation Next.
It is focused on the very minimum which new users need to know in order to follow a route designed by others; and it includes how to handle the most common user errors. We couldn't find an existing tutorial which fitted this purpose -- the others include route planning, or go through every option in the app etc -- so I made this myself.
I hope this will be useful for others.

Looks good, all achieved using AI and your script?

@Mzokk Yes. AI mimics my voice patterns (speed, intonation etc). But the hard work is designing what to say!

Nice job!
Here is the MRA Route Experts guide to the colors:

Wow, very good and perfect for beginners.
Can I use it for my German Facebook group? The subtitle translates it to German perfectly. -
Sure. It's on "free" YouTube hosting (ie they make money by stuffing ads on the start of my video
) so no problems sharing with others.I subtitled the English manually so I'm glad to hear the German auto translation works well.

@Lenny-O Yes - Nick showed me the official colour guidance. I simplified the wording a bit in my video as part of making everything easier to understand. I think the colour coding is very useful, although I've noticed that some route authors interpret it in slightly different ways (hence the rules).
And in the colour guide it is a bit strange to allow yellow shaping points -- either they are via points (which might have descriptions) or shaping points (which are irrelevant to the driver as long as he/she follow the route).
One complexity is that different terminology seems to turn up in documentation and in the apps, for "way", "via" and "shaping" point. I tried to choose the best options while keeping it very simple.
