If I understand things correctly, when I bought Gold Lifetime for MRA Routeplanner a few years ago, what I was actually purchasing was lifetime point-in-time functionality as it exactly existed then. I'm not sure it was presented as such, but I'll go with buying the new functionality if it makes sense. A company needs on-going revenue to remain viable, and serious enhancements require money.

I would still like to know what the AI piece is going to cost beyond the $50 for Next. I doubt it's going to break the bank, but I think it's fair to ask what the price for the entire package will be. Or at least understand if AI can be purchased without also buying Routeplanner Next.

Oh yes definitely! That’s possible.
Just another subscription when the new website (MRA Routeplanner Next) becomes available.
And as said, that becomes available to all Regardless of your subscription and if you purchase something now.

I just switched from Apple to Android ecosystem and run Android Auto both on my motorcycle and my car.

I am able and willing to join the beta team.

Hi Hubert, I've had time to sleep on this and look at it again this morning. You have captured exactly how I feel about these latest announcements. I paid for Planner and Navigation Lifetime licenses in November 2025. Seems a very short lifetime to now be asking for more money. MRA will argue that I don't have to pay anything but then I don't get new features that are implied by a lifetime license.

Also, I find it unacceptable for MRA to ask existing customers to pay to test Beta software, really!!!!

As others have expressed, I think this whole thing has been communicated extremely poorly as evidenced by the number of questions and declarations of confusion.

To me, this feels like a company that was too successful in selling lifetime licenses. As a result, recurring and new customer revenues are not sufficient, hence the current efforts to extract more money from existing lifetime license holders. All IMHO.

@Hubert-Thoring Hubert just look at the explanation on the site and all of the FAQ's you'll find all the answers there. You dont have to buy anything and you'll have what you've paid for. With the upgrade to the beta planner you'll have have some extra's.
Not to worry

@Marinus-van-Deudekom Agree. People need to read the explanations! I took advantage of the Beta Navigation Next Lifetime early purchase and that has worked really well. I will do the same for the new Planner which is a cheap price for some of the new features whilst keeping my current planner features on a new platform; moreover, I get a chance to test and have a say on future builds. Most developers, and not just MRA, are charging a premium for integrated AI features so I did not expect that new feature to be included - AI platform providers are charging for services like these.

MRA, I feel, is being very fair for early access to a new set of features without undermining existing lifetime Gold customers who will still move to the new platform with the features they currently have.

Having Routeplanner Gold allows you to keep using all the features you currently have.

MRA Routeplanner Next will have many new features. Those are new subscriptions.
Buying pre-sale gives lifetime access to those with the exception for commercial clubs, AI Routeplanner and Navigation Next (that stays as it is).

Buying the €199 pre-sale is only relevant if you don’t have Gold lifetime now. Then you immediately get that too. The €49 is for:

• Early access
• Private forum group where you help decide what we build
• Lifetime access to the new subscriptions with the exception for commercial clubs, AI Routeplanner and Navigation Next
• A good night sleep as you support a hard working small company
• Badge on your profile

That’s it

You loose nothing. Do not worry.
This is a fun announcement that a lot of awesome new stuff is coming.

Not paying anything? That’s fine!
You keep the features you have, no extra’s and have to wait to February to use it.

Sorry, but it is still confusing imho.
You are telling us:

• Lifetime access to the new subscriptions with the exception for commercial clubs, AI Routeplanner and Navigation Next

Which are those new subscribtions in detail for a MRA Routeplanner Gold Lifetime / Navigation Next Lifetime member? In other words, as a MRA Routeplanner Gold Lifetime member / Navigation Next Lifetime do I get which new subscriptions/functions when buying the €49 offer?
The commercial clubs, AI Routeplanner is even with the €49 package not included, so what is the difference in funcionality then between buying and not buying the €49 package? Just early access, private forum, badge and donating???
