Disable seasonal closures

There are indeed all kinds of influences that can change a route. Not just seasonal closures. Roadworks and other temporary measures may be included in the maps (if known to the mapmaker). But the traffic situation on the spot may also have changed permanently.
In addition to the route, I almost always save a track of the route in MRA. This way I can check the route and adjust it as best as possible to the original planning.
If you share routes, you always have to take into account that the recipient may eventually have a different route. For example by using a different type of navigator or different map version.

hi @Jack-van-Tilburg, thanks for quick response,

it is definitely something to be aware of, a planned route may not necessarily be the same when reopened a few weeks later,

In addition to the route, I almost always save a track of the route in MRA

out of interest, excuse my ignorance, how do you automatically save a track to MRA,

when I save a route as .gpx 1.1 (track, POI) it downloads to my computer, I then have to import it back into MRA, where it would then show in "my routes" as a Route-track.
is this the correct way of carrying out this task

Unfortunately that is the way ️

this is not a problem, I was making sure there was no other way.

this may well become my new routine now, when complete, save as track for reference.

@paul-69, The beta of the "Next" navigation tool is heading in a direction where it is able to navigate trackbased. So there is suddenly A LOT more interest for a function that copies your route to a track without the above workaround. I presume the track-functionality of the (online) planner will head in a direction that is more suitable to the use of tracks too, in due time.
