Favorites always visible on map

[Pim van Dongen]

Is there a possibility to always show my favorites on my map?
When I was working with Mapsource in the past I just copied all the favorite points of view, campsites and hotels on the map so I could start making my trip. Also when I quickly made a trip in google maps in the past I could route it along all the points I had saved in the past and wanted to visit. Is this possible in MRA? Or is it possible to load my own (logged in) google maps overlay instead of an empty one?

No, that is not possible in this version, but it is on the wishlist voor de overhaul of the planner. So we have to be patient what's coming up in the future.

What is possible, is to save them all as POI's in a GPX file. And then import them as POI-file.
Just a temporary work around!

well my favorites change by day because I keep on chasing old castles, viewpoints, campsites and crazy roads on google maps where I save them on...

With the MRA next app you can make them visible on you're phone maps . Click on favorites and set to favorites always visible.

In that case, I’d make them ‘Points of Interest’ rather than ‘favourites’

But then they are also not always on every map and in each new route I start. Some places / campsites I often come back so it's easy to have them always visible omn the map.

If you select the profile icon for your POI list they will be visible in all of your routes and on your navigation app.

Then they are stil in 1 route and not in all my route files

@Pim-van-Dongen Selecting the profile icon makes that category of POIs from your POI library visible in ALL routes including when using the navigation app.

Make your favourites into POIs and then upload them to your POI library to achieve this.

@Pim-van-Dongen Open a new route and give it the name favourites. Now select your first favourite, now open the POI section and select the manage tab. Click Add and then click on the map where your favourite location is to add a POI at that location.
Do this for all of your favourites, when you have finished click Save as and choose .csv (POI) as the option. This saves your POIs to your computer. Now go to the Library tab of the POI section and select Add, this opens an upload box where you can then choose the .csv (POI) file from your computer.

so I have to make a specific route (without a rout but with all the waypoints) download that file as a csv and upload that one again... each time for al routes... each time I start a new route... that's not a good workflow... I just want my favourites just to be visible, also on older routes I re-use and not having to upload a csv file each time I add a new poi

No, that is not what I said. I said open a new route and add POIs at your favourite locations.

Again, this is not what I said, the process of adding POIs at your favourite locations and then saving the .csv file is so that you can upload the file to your POI library. This is a one off operation, once the .csv file is uploaded to your POI library you can then select it for individual routes or by ticking the profile icon your new POI (favourites) will be visible in all routes.

I can't be any clearer than that!
