      Beta v4.2.0 (318) Apple

      Bug:
      You can't plan a route in the new in-app routeplanner unless you switch on location. It says 'Location service not found' in red, and the planner doesn't open.

      Where I am right now is of no relevance to the planning process.

      (The orginal Route Lab link doesn't have this limitation, so it's a step backwards, especially when I don't normally have location enabled day to day unless I'm riding.)

        hi
        sorry, not sure what you mean here, i am having a play with the new update
        i have my phone on airplane mode, offline nav enabled and i can plan a route from any start point. to any end point and add as many waypoints as i need
        but if i want to save it, i have to be online, but this has already been stated

        maybe i am missing something early days yet

        to achieve, we must first attempt ✌️

          @paul69 I don't think airplane mode makes any difference in GPS reception (it's just receiving information, not sending anything).

            Correct! Location is about privacy, airplane mode is about connectivity.

              Ahh! ok i stand corrected, I always have location enabled, not really concerned about privacy, don't have much to hide, I never really use MRA while online, all navigation etc is offline mode for me.

              but having said that, this new planner will come in very handy while sat in the hotel planning a new route for the next day, coz the weather has changed dramatically, so my phone would then have to be connected to wifi.

              but thanks for the info regarding location.

                I've talked about this issue.
                Currently it is not really an issue as everything functions as designed 😉

                We will however remove the location permission from the Routeplanner for the next beta.

                    Can confirm this is fixed for the release 🙂
                    We will probably update the available beta version this week.

                      Works nicely without location being enabled on iOS build 320, Corjan. Good work!

                      Looking forward to Android build 320.

                      [EDIT:
                      And Android works nicely too, thanks. I like the fact that you can just hit the waypoint button, move the map, hit the waypoint button to add the next, and so on - i.e. you don't have to use the 'Add' button. Nice and efficient! Doubly good work. ⭐
