given the limitations of CarPlay the experience was good!

The stability was indeed okay in this short route. I don't like operating the available functions.

Now that everything is stable, we can start focussing on improving the experience (within the constraints) and adding features.

To improve the experience, I would prefer to address the aforementioned uncomfortable operation of the functions first before adding new features.

@Jack-van-Tilburg after reading your findings, I tested the latest version with my Elebest as well. I can not see the same issues.
When I press skip WP I see shortly a message "calculation".

And when I press move map, I see the zoom +/- buttons.

What Elebest device do you have?

@Jörgen seems I'm missing something...where is the skip waypoint button located on the CarPlay screen?

I am now sitting on my chair trying to remove it again and I indeed see this image. But so terribly short that I'm amazed as to how you can take a screenshot of it.
But I really don't remember seeing this this afternoon.
It is also a different image than when you perform this action in the app.

Do I have to manually put all my routes back into the downloads folder???

I do not assume you always need all 100's of routes to be available offline all the time? There is an option in the settings that enables all started routes to be downloaded for offline use automatically. I have a habit of starting al routes in the app once, before I leave home, just to check them on the device itself. This way, I do not need to think about downloading them manually.

@Con-Hennekens That is how I work. Love the feature to do this. Makes life really easy.

All stable so far with the latest Android and iOS versions - 4.1.0 - 266.

@Con-Hennekens

Yes, maybe you are correct in your thinking.
I do have a list of favourite routes in the downloads that I use often, but maybe it would be prudent to limit the list somewhat.

[Con Hennekens]

@Lynchy67, do you not have any internet connection at the moment you start such a route? Picking a route the usual way (routes menu) works just fine, as long as you have a live connection, even though the app is in offline mode. As soon as you start a route it will be offline, and no bandwidth is being used.

Together with the option "download routes for offline use automatically", I seldomly need to download anything manually.

[Lynchy67]

@Con-Hennekens

The issue with the downloads was due to one of the earlier updates that basically wiped out my downloaded routes in the Downloads folder.
I did have to manually put them all back.

I went out for a ride today and MRA worked wonderfully.

@Corjan-Meijerink Works very well now thanks

[M. Schrijver]

Maybe it was a fix in a previous version but i noticed something else.

Because i deleted everything before i updated to the new version. I needed to download the offline maps again.
This time downloading the maps went pretty quick.

[RetiredWingMan]

@M-Schrijver it seems that downloading maps is very dependant in Internet traffic and how busy the Here servers are. Sometimes it goes very quickly and other times it feels like we're back in dialup days.

[M. Schrijver]

Offcourse you're right. But in the past there were many complaints about the slow download speeds of the offline maps. This was something i noticed too. But this time is was completly different.
I have also TomTom GO. This uses offline map too. But in case of TomRom GO the downloadspeed is always reliable.

[Con Hennekens]

@M-Schrijver, When you download maps, the app checks the data it already has. This way an interrupted download does not need to redownload the whole thing again. I guess the data was still present, but the app lost its reference to it. The very quick "download" (probably faster than even possible over wifi?) indicates it merely reindexed the existing maps.
