    Ladies and gentlemen! 🎉
    It's been a while and believe me, it has also been quite some work.

    overview.png

    A massive shoutout to Joost is well deserved 🙂 He works in the dark to serve the light! And he definitely brings to light to all MRA users with this update. After a lot of technical coding ⌨ we are proud to present this smashing 4.3.0 update: project Sync! 😏

    Sync all your routes

    Sync? What is sync? According to the oxford dictionary:

    in (or out of) sync working well (or badly) together; in (or out of) agreement.

    With this update, the app will sync well with the website.
    Meaning that all your routes will be magically synced across both platforms 😮 💥

    sync.png

    You can select to sync all your routes or choose an individual route to be synced.
    When a route (or all for that matter) is marked as syncable, any changes made to that route in the app, will be uploaded to the website. Or when the route is modified on the website, it will be automatically updated on your phone 😏
    By doing so, all your routes will be available in the app all the time and most important of all, they are up to date 🎉

    Therefore the downloads folder now no longer contains your own routes.
    Groups / events / friends are not synced or available offline by default. You will still need to download these yourself and yes, they can be found in your downloads.

    Conflict handling

    What if you made changes in the app and on the website? How do we select the right one to save? We don't! You do 😉

    conflicts.png

    Conflicts are automatically detected and you are forced to resolve these in the app.

    Restyling information screen

    To facilitate the offline availability of all your routes, the information screen has been modified too!

    info.png

    A cleaner look and besides that the following options have been added:

    • Share link to route
    • Show QR code for easy access
    • Mark route to be synced
    • Delete

    Map styles navigation

    Yippee-ki-yay, motherf***er! 😃
    This one will make a lot of people very, very happy!

    The HERE map lacked some detail. Sad but true 😞
    A weird development how all major map suppliers changed their colour scheme to be less rich in contrast.

    layers.png

    Head over to the map styling section and be amazed! We offer 3 different colour themes and 5 editions! Are you oriented on logistical roads, we got your back! 😏 Want to use the old colour scheme? Try out "Wong" 😉

    Bonus points to the person that discovers the favourite band of me and Joost.

    Improvements generated routes

    Did you ever generate a nice route? Did you ever want to save / share that? I guess both apply to you but you could never achieve the second 😢
    An issue that is no more!

    share.png

    Generate a route and with the touch of a button, you can share the same configuration to your buddy. As this is a QR code, we expect the person that scans it, to be in the same location as you 😉
    If not, just save the route! Then you can share the route and it will work too.

    Minor changes

    • Improved Spanish translations thanks to active MRA user Ramon C.L. ❤
    • You can now switch between imperial and metric directly from the app
    • HERE SDK updated to newest version

    Wrapup

    If this isn't a great update, I don't know what else we can do!
    Hopefully you all enjoy this update. There are even more little, nifty details for you to discover. We are looking forward to all your feedback over the coming days. Hopefully we will be able to release this to the public before the end of this month.

    Cheers,
    Corjan 👋

        @Marinus-van-Deudekom If I change the map style on my phone I can see it changing in the settings but when I leave setting nothing seems changed and the old map is still what I see.

          @Arno-0, Die instelling bepaalt vanaf welk type voortuig je de beperkingen-laag in de navigatielaag ziet. Zet je hem uit, dan zie je nooit beperkingen. Zet je hem op auto, dan dan zie je hem bij routes die gemaakt zijn met het auto-profiel, camper-profiel en-vrachtwagen-profiel. Zet je hem op camper, dan zie je hem bij het vrachtwagen en het camper-profiel, maar niet bij het auto-profiel.

          Je stelt dus eigenlijk het lichtste voertuig-profiel in waarbij je die beperkingen wilt zien.

          I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

            @Marinus-van-Deudekom, those settings are about navigating with the HERE maps. Start a route and you will see the difference 😉

                A bit late to the party, but...

                Groups / events / friends are not synced or available offline by default. You will still need to download these yourself and yes, they can be found in your downloads.

                Whilst riding over the past 3 days in Wales (your favourite right, Corjan?), one of the group made his routes available via Friends. As mentioned above, you can't sync, so we all downloaded the routes the night before. No problem - all three days appeared and could be opened.

                On opening the app the next morning the Downloads view was empty on the friend's phones. We tried this two days running - with the same result of Downloads being cleaned out, so we were forced to re-download every morning before setting off.

                It would a real problem if we were out of coverage because only the route owner could lead the ride.

                Or are we misunderstanding how Sync and Downloads interact?

                  @richtea999, That really surprises me! I checked and have at least one route from a friend in my downloads folder. That one may well be from before the new sync function. I cleared the folder out and put some new routes in from different friends and groups. I all check tomorrow if I can see a likewise behavior.

                  EDIT:
                  Hmm... while doing the above, I already found a big problem...

                  After I downloaded some routes, always ONLY the downloads from the last routemenu session are visible in the download folder. As soon as you re-renter the routes menu, all items in the downloads folder are cleared. I have not seen this earlier, because all routes from before the sync update seem to survive these unintended clean-ups...

                  I will tag Corjan, but I know he is having vacation. I just don't know how to tag his colleagues directly. @Corjan-Meijerink, you will want to forward this one! 😉

                  Thanks @richtea999 for your feedback!

                    Now at home, and having experimented a little more, the simplest way to lose your downloads is as you say - just re-open Routes after having downloaded your friend's route.

                    That cleans the Downloads out.

                    We must have carried on playing with other routes after downloading. My 'downloads lost over overnight' description is a red herring, as they say!

                    They disappeared immediately Routes was opened again, but we didn't go back and look, I suspect.
