Hi all,
I'm a long term user and advocate of MyRouteApp ... and I generally use it to plan long routes (typically 8-10,000km in a 5-6 week summer tour).
My routes can get quite detailed, and recalculation in slow in MRA - and is especially frustrating when I want to search for a new point to potentially add to a map. I put in a suggestion for a development point a long time ago. It was well received at the time, but is now all but invisible. I have many more suggestions in my sandbag, but there's no point putting them forward if they're not going to lead anywhere.
From time to time, I check in for news of developments in the WebPlanner area, but there seems little focus on moving it forward ... other than adding multiple routes etc. ... unless I've missed something .. which is the point of this post.
Is there (and if there is, can we get to see) a Roadmap showing which areas of MRA are being actively worked on? It would be great to see a list of 'accepted' suggestions, and when they may see the light of day.
Cheers, Jem
@Jem-Cotton we have hired a new employee few months ago aimed to research a major website overhaul.
I am expecting some more detailed outlined steps to be announced in this month / early next month.
Hi Corjan. You've made my heart sing a little !
I spend a lot of time on the planner. It's a fantastic tool, but I would really like to see it move forward a bit, primarily in terms of ease of use, speed and convenience.
I look forward to your upcoming announcement, and will spend a little time beforehand putting together some ideas for the funnel.
Cheers, and keep up the good work !

@Jem-Cotton
Jem, I assume you don't plan your trip in one long route??
You can "split" the route into daily / weekly routes in the MRA "toolbox"
Hi Bruce.
In effect, I do both. An overall route is a great way to view the shape of the trip and distances involved, and make sweeping changes to meet our goals of distance, time, key places to visit etc.
I leave this overview in place for quite a while, so that we can make changes close up to when we leave ... then I split the journey into day routes and share them amongst the troops each morning using WhatsApp.
So far it's a strategy that's worked very well for multiple trips and close on 20k miles of travel.
MRA is close to being an ideal partner in this area, and I still think it's the best on the market ... but one or two simple tweaks could make my life even easier and more enjoyable ....
