Hey dear MRA team,

It would be nice if there was also the format for the CRA (the CRN), this would inspire many users.

Especially when the own texts from the MRA planning (gold) would be taken over to the WP or SP.

Unfortunately, the 1.1 GPX format does not allow this.

Thank you for the work you put into our dream every day so that we can ride a motorcycle in a relaxed way.

Best regards

@Devis Did you try using TomTom as the base map instead of HERE? I believe the CRN uses TomTom maps under the covers (not 100% sure), but it’s worth a try to see if there is any difference.

Hi everyone, I ended up selling the CRN; I really didn't like it. Aside from the fact that I don't see much of a future for it—what with the lack of updates and poor after-sales support—I've gone back to Garmin!!

Too bad MyRouteApp as app navigation would have been much better

You really should provide some objective facts when you make these kinds of assertions. "Better" can have many different meanings.

Beautiful things are lost from the MRA planning, this is information about the WP / SP.

• Images for WP / SP

• Texts / links to the hotel that can be deposited to a WP / SP

• Texts that can be read aloud and provide good information in the audio helmet

• colored WP / SP

• Tracklogs with own pictures

• and much more...

Without necessarily intending to, you're showing that the MRA app and a Garmin GPS respectively focus on different things. You're correct that a Garmin doesn't capture images, texts and colors. If that's your main focus, then the app is a good choice. For me personally, all this falls into the category of up-front planning, so I don't find it to be priority #1.

On the other hand, a Gamin excels at core navigation capabilities. The units (depending on model) dynamically capture 20+ trip data metrics in the areas of navigation and route data. They're all available for viewing (as they're updated) during the ride. Most of these elements are simply not captured in the MRA app. Also important, a Garmin GPS provides more detailed and vibrant 3D navigation maps (especially the XT3), has superior off-route navigation capabilities, the ability search "up ahead" in a number of categories, and if you choose to, dynamically modify your route for additional unplanned stops. This all falls into the category of core capabilities, which for me is my focus while on the road.

So "better" is going to depend on what's most important to an individual rider. There really isn't an absolute when considering the choices.

Okay .. I find the MRA Navi app more flexible than a pure Garmin navigation system. After 20J Garmin Zumo 550, 660 and the BMW Navi VI as well as planning with Bascamp I have been happy and very satisfied with the MRA Planning Gold and MRA Navi App for 4 years. You should take your time with the app and its functions, only then is it the success you want.

Especially if you want to discuss the route with friends in the evening over a beer and want to insert changes quickly, it all works on your mobile phone or iPad and everyone can access it directly. The whole thing is a special function among MRA friends and groups that we like to use all together.

So everyone as he likes, like one way or so, and driving should always be in the foreground.

As a driver who is only on the road with himself, a navigation system is probably the choice especially if you want to travel the world and have to fight your way through the long day by day.
