    If i compare MRA with other apps on AA/ACP i see a difference.

    AA/ACP are an extension of your phone. Your phone does all the work.
    But when you use MRA on AA/ACP and set stuff or load a route directy in AA/ACP. MRA on your phone does really recognizes what happens. As if there is a second instance of MRA invisble running on your smartphone.
    With other apps i've not seen this behaviour. At least not as strong as i saw in MRA.

    (I use MRA Next only on Android Auto. Every comment, suggestion, etc will be based on my usage with Android Auto)

      @M-Schrijver what do you mean by put stuff directly in AA. And how does that effect MRA. Am I missing something

        Like starting a route in AA/ACP instead of starting it first on your phone. Or enter an address for A to B navigation direct on the AA/ACP screen. Stuff like that.

        When you start a route in MRA on your phone. The tracklog starts logging automaticly. But if you start a route in AA/ACP. The tracklog doesn't start automaticly.
        It looks if your phone doesn't see a route is started and therefore the tracklog isn't started either. This is mentioned more than once by multiple people and is the best example i can give you.

        I've similiar behaviour with other things in MRA.

          Sorry, I'm a bit thick but very interested in this topic.

          So your suggestion is that you SHOULD start the route on the phone before opening AA, yes??

            If you start a "route" from Android Auto, the tracklog will also start automatically. That route comes from your library, which you can also start from AA.
            If you enter an address to navigate to it, that is an A B route for which the tracklog is NOT started automatically.
            I drove a very simple route yesterday. Created in the web planner, started from my AA and the yellow marking of the tracklog immediately appeared.
            Out of curiosity, I also looked later in the ride on my phone and the same route, now started via AA, was immediately visible, including the tracklog
            Als je een "route" start vanaf Android Auto zal de tracklog automatisch ook starten. Die route komt uit je bibliotheek die je ook gewoon vanaf AA kunt starten.
            Als een een adres in voert om erheen te navigeren is dat een A B route waarvoor de tracklog NIET automatisch gestart wordt.
            Ik heb gisteren een hele simpele route gereden. gemaakt in de webplanner, gestart vanaf mijn AA en de gele markering van de tracklog kwam direct in beeld.
            Uit nieuwsgierigheid ook ff latere in de rit meegekeken op mij telefoon en daar was dezelfde, inmiddels via AA gestarte route, direct zichtbaar inclusief de tracklog

              It starts automatically only in CarPlay ! I tried on Android Auto with a Motorola ThinkPhone and a Samsung S24 Ultra and tracklog does not start automatically after loading the route from Android Auto, only if I open the app on the phone.
              I also tested with my iPhone 13 and it automatically starts the tracklog after I load the route from CarPlay.

                  I always start my route on my smartphone. Too much troubles with AA only in the past. Not having a tracklog was one of them.

                  For me it has been a while i drove AA only. So not having a tracklog in AA only at this point in development i can not say. I just rely on other people comments on this.

                  Last year i did use starting a route in AA modus. But when something happens. I needed the phone to fix the problem. But often this was not possible because phone had no clue what i've done on the AA screen. I.e there was no route visible at all.

                  With AA only i mean. Do everything on the AA screen. Not using the phone screen for input etc.

                    @Adrian-Avram like I promissed did another test today.
                    New route containing 2 shapingpoints and 3 viapoints, start, end and one in the middle
                    Started the route using AA. That worked like I thought it would. Then looked at the tracklog on the AA screen. The collor wasn’t yellow but showed the original track. Then opened my phone and started MRA. Then the route witch I was riding showed up on the screen followed by the yellow marking from the automated tracklog. As of that moment it showed also on the AA screen. Only thing I did was opening MRA on my phone and then when the tracklog showed closing the phone.
                    I’ll make a ticket of my findings

                      @Marinus-van-Deudekom so I guess tracklog is starting after all but not displaying the yellow line (making me think that it is not recording the track) ...

                          Indeed. That is what happens with the tracklog. I saw the same behaviour also

                            @Adrian-Avram I think my answer above could be cinfusing. so
                            I starten te route from AA. When I was navigating the route and didn't see the yellow trackloog marking then I opened my phone and started MRA. The phone hooked up on the route whitout me doing anything. Then I saw the yellow marking on my phone's screen and at the same time the yellow marking apeared on AA'screen. Then when I closed my phones screes AA kept on recording the tracklog.
                            I've asked the Devs for a solution.

                              @Adrian-Avram meanwhile the Devs assured me the problem will be fixed in one of the next updates
