Suggestion: routing options in planner transfer to Navigation Next

Lots of talk about “Tracks” in this thread.
Maybe its just a language thing, but hasn’t it already been confirmed that MRA Next will be based on the Here map using Via and Shaping Points with GPX1.1 or GPX1.2?

I guess that Next, in combination with the routeplanner, will enable options that cannot be translated to gpx 1.1 or 12.2

This is irrelevant as long as you stay in the MRA universe but will be annoying when you move to a less performant platform like a GPS device from Garmin or TomTom where you can only import GPX files..

Although this is only a guess, MRA evolution should not be hampered by the limitations of other devices.

I really don't know. I don't believe I have read that anywhere. The released example looks like Here, but I do not see why that would dismiss the use of tracks. Garmin does that too...

I agree. So much more is possible with a ecosystem that involves the planner as well as the navigator! At the same time the dedicated device users most not be forgotten of course. MRA is still a plan and share platform.

Sorry I had a brain freeze mentioning GPX1.1 & GPX1.2 in connection with Navigation..
obviously they are irrelevant for the current MRA Navigation and MRA Navigation Next.

That is good if it does not last for too long.

If nothing else, it proves you have a brain
