Depends on @corjan-meijerink if he thinks this can be implemented.

Hi,

I'm not that experienced with MRA and I also would find it interesting to have a pop text when arriving at the POI, therefore I have this question :

What do you mean with "switch to the route lab" ?
Can you navigate by the route lab and then see the text appearing ?

I know the Routeyou app has this functionality.

Place a WP near the POI and insert the text there in the WP,...

In the App Navi settings in the account under navigation settings, set it so that Via points "the hand symbol" is read aloud.

The information you can associate with POI's is very limited and limiting with only having Longitude Latitude and a brief description. It would ne nice if it had a notes field like waypoints. It would also be good if you could set proximity alerts for POI's that you might want to visit during a casual ride. For this reason I use basecamp and my Zumo XT for poi handling even though I use MRA for navigation. On my XT I have proximity alerted POI's for picnic sites and toilets. I also have POI's for WW2/cold war defence heritage and neolithic portal tombs in Northern Ireland/Ireland. These POI's have a description of the sites that show on the XT if I select them and chose to visit. This functionality is currently missing from MRA.

I agree. And for example, Garmin is doing a great job in operating POI: they display a lot of delivered data, like Name, Address, Phone, Category, Coordinates.

So it looks like official POI lists contains more data then MRA displays.
And in case, there are no detailed data in the list, MRA displays only the name "POI". Therefore, would be good if MRA offers a field for freetext (like in Routepoints).

From all your screenshots, I can see that you are using RouteLab (which is online) from the mobile app. However, please keep in mind that if you are in an area without an internet connection, you won’t be able to use the RouteLab to change your routes !!

Unfortunately, the solution you are showing in your answers doesn’t solve the issue I’m trying to address.

That's how it works offline...

I never said route planning doesn’t work offline!
I said that the RouteLab option (which is actually the web planner on mobile) doesn’t work offline, not the MRA Route Planner!
And I think you’re still missing the main point, which is the “POI naming/text display” issue.
