Multi-day trip planning
-
The only reason I'm esitant in buying an MRA subscription is multi-day trip planning: I usually use Furkot to do those plans because it can plan automatically night stops based on distance and/or time and move those stops as you modify the route (and the time needed to do it) while planning it. This is a super useful feature because you don't have to deal with segments or other artificial items to "simulate" each daily route. With Furkot the nightly stops are dinamically set depending on route distance and time.
You can eventually split the route into single days when exporting the GPX, so when you are out in the wild you still have your daily route to follow (not the full trip).
As far as I understand there is no similar feature in MRA, is this correct? -

I am not sure I would like MRA to pick my nightly whereabouts, but I agree a lot on multiday trips for being able to independently starting (or exporting) them as day-segments. Great idea!
It might also be a good idea to be able to define a maximum trip length and duration that is visible in the planner as a circle with a certain diameter for which automatically POI like hotels, B&B's are enabled. That does a bit like Furkot, without the commercial intent.
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

@Con-Hennekens I find Furkot almost perfect for serious multi-day trip planning.
Obviously (I didn't mention it) the nightly stay can be fixed (it's a "special" waypoint). Furkot will end the day in that place and resume the plan from there in the next day.
What's really very nice with this is that you can very quickly make a plan based on available days (which we know is the scarcest resource!
) considering the avg speed based on the planned road type and even your preferences (you can set your avg speed will be a certain percent - like 80% - of the calculated one).
