Experience with MRA
Hi. I drove 5300 km only with MRA,:-) Garmin was there as a backup but was never used. The journey went
via Austria, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, North Herzecovina, Bosnia, CroatiTa, Italy back to Switzerland.
As a device I have a Huawei P30 Pro. Unfortunately, I also drove a few days in the rain and the mobile did a great job.
Normal rain does not disturb the display, large drops can be registered as input which rarely happened.
Charging was done via the USB socket. MRA draws quite a bit of power, without charging 5 hours are possible then there is still 20% battery left.
The P30Pro does not exactly have a small battery.
I deliberately drove permanently offline, although I had a TravelSIM. Yes, you should download the route sonnst you are looking for
an open network which is not always easy
Route planning is always done in the hotel with WLAN on a MS Surface tablet which makes it easier from the size.
Positives and negatives:
Navigation APP:
-Sometimes very slow. Offline. 250m left turn although I am already at the turn. The impatient behind me quit that with honking. It was not due to GPS reception,
I have checked several times using GPS app.
-Exit from the route, and re-enter. "Route is calculated" App hangs. After a few hundred meters, the app catches again.
-I get lost and have no idea where I am. Zooming out works, but the orientation of the map is no longer correct. The center button
would be extremely useful here because suddenly north is no longer up.
-POI. I am looking for a hotel. Of course in the direction where I want to go. Here it would be cool if the hotels would be displayed on the map.
-Route was left!!!!!! Here is missing the function "Recalculate Yes or No" A killer feature which must be installed!!!!
MyRouteApp:
- Set waypoints without integrating them into the navigation. Like in Basecamp. Set multiple WP, make them route and save as standalone route.
-simple display of multiple routes as in Basecamp. E.g. A: nice weather B: rain. This function is available but only ONE can be edited.
-Can start your own WP
-Favorites in categories
So, I apologize, much text
Conclusion: I would certainly not buy a Garmin again. My P30 Pro is a top Devise, certainly a device of the upper price range but it's worth it. With the https://www.travsim.de/
equipped makes traveling fun.
What remains is the disadvantage that my P30 Pro does not recognize the glove. However, this is a HW problem and MRA can not do anything.
