Automatic save the tracklog
-
As some people already know i do not like to fiddle with al lot function/buttons shortly before, during, and directly after driving.
I like the automatic start of the tracklog when riding a route. But you need to manual stop and save this tracklog.
Add a automatic save option at 0:00 am, If the manual stop and save is not used
If you turn off your phone after driving (mostly people who have separate phone for navigation) , the auto-save will be done the next time you open the MRA app again or start-up the phone.This was one thing i loved of a Zumo. Auto tracking as soon as you startup the Zumo. Downside was the way these tracklog are organised. Most people did not know how to use the tracklogs.
MRA does a great job with the auto start option but i miss the auto stop/save option.

@M-Schrijver I totally understand your vision!
However, Iβm not sure this is as easy as it sounds.Automatically saving your tracklog at a certain time can be hours after you actually stopped. This results in unrealistic statistics.
Saving it when stopping navigation? Could be but many, many users stop navigation when at lunch.
Saving it when dismissing the resume prompt? Again possible but many people load multiple roads for a single tracklog.Also people like to record multiple day rides in a single tracklog.
Yes, everything can be an option but where forgetting to start is really annoying, forgetting to end is something fundamentally different
My opinion

I understand what you mean.
Being lazy (i call it efficient) is kind my nature. Especially with these kinds of things. Why do things manually when the software can do it for you. Also a reason why i have a automatic gearbox in my Goldwing. -

NOOOOOOOOO!
There's a subtle difference between a quickshifter and an automatic gearbox.
Corjan is offering you the quickshifter. Better in most scenarios, but you have to engage with it (in both senses of the word!) - just a little.

Many people do not appreciate the quality of a DCT. It is fully automatic. It makes the bike al lot quicker. But still you can drive it fully manual with a pedal if you like.
Honda did show the way. And does is again with the e-clutch. This the better quickshifter. According to many who already have driven it.
Yamaha will come with an semi automatic geabox. Probably on the MT-09 and/or MT-07 series.BMW will come with automatic/semi automatic gearbox for it's boxer engines. And i suspect also for it's 6-cylinder engine.
Sorry, this is the near future. No gearbox at all comes after that.
A nice video of the Goldwing DCT
