Overlapping routes
-
@Con-Hennekens Sorry Con, not everyone lives on MRA App! I have now finished my trip and not able to easily check this. However, I think I misunderstood – are the white arrows being referred to the ones at top left of the screen, or are you and Lluis saying the white arrows appear on the blue route line on the map?
Whatever the outcome, I would like for MRA to be easier to quickly see at a glance which road to take when routes overlap (as described in my original post).
I am not convinced the small black arrows @Jörgen showed would be easy to see at a glance – in the screenshot he shared it would make sense (to me) that the lower arrows should be on the right side of the junction, not the left. Approaching at speed and with vibrations I think you could easily turn the wrong way with a glance at this screenshot.
@Corjan-Meijerink Maybe Corjan can consider this as it is not only me that experiences this problem.
FYI, I use MRA Routeplanner for probably 9 months of the year to plan my next tour, but I only use MRA App once a year, for the tour (~2 weeks). I am happy to learn from all of you. All I am doing is reporting problems that I experience, that may help improve MRA.
@Tom-Grzelinski, No, the white arrows are ON the routeline, and indicate the first upcomming direction change.

The blue routeline here is red due to traffic info by the way.
I can confirm that the arrow grows with line thickness, something you could have tried for yourself as easily as I have just done. You don't need to live on MRA app for that (neither do I).At roundabouts there is a white arrow to enter the roundabout, and a new one only when you leave it. Like mentioned above, of course I would encourage, specifically for roundabouts, that the arrow shows the entry as well as the exit together. I don't know if that's possible though.
The small black arrows only indicate the direction of the route, and yeah, of it overlaps they point to eachother.
