I have driven in Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Moldavia, Transnistria and Hungary.
App works well, I also had the already known problems like grey screen, an error occurred, route cannot be calculated, or that app simply closes. I know that they are working on it, thank you!

The compass, I still don't understand its function but how many times have I stopped, gloves off to press the stupid compass?

The waypoint list is very cool! I name the points and can decide whether I want to drive to the point or not.

Battery consumption: I don't know what happens but it has completely drained my 4.5Ah battery twice. I never have any problems otherwise and the wireless charger even charges the battery in use with MRA on my P30Plus.

Question:
I had 9 WP set in a city I want to look at. WP2 was my hotel. So I marked WP2 and drove along other interesting streets to take photos. . Suddenly WP3 was my next destination because I didn't follow the instructions. Is this normal? It should be possible to set WP2 as the absolute destination.

So far so good, i love this app, Thank you!

The compass is for re-centring your position. The next update will automatically re-centre your position when you start moving.

This is a known problem and has been linked to the HERE map that MRA are supplied with. The developers are working with the map suppliers to resolve this problem.

Using a Via point for WP2 would have solved this problem. Do you have 'Skip waypoints automatically' turned on in the navigation settings? This could have caused you to miss WP2. Via points cannot be skipped automatically.

Always good to read positive feedback.

@Kudee thanks for sharing the experience!
I don’t have much to add to what @Nick-Carthew said.

What would fix my problem now? Just turn off skipping waypoints or set WP as Via Point point?
Can i do that quickly on the road? Guess i need to be Online, right?

Both should fix the problem that you had with WP2.
You can switch off ‘Automatically skip waypoints’ when you are offline but you would need to be online to edit the route to change the waypoint to a Via point.
