    Border control is not really needed when you only travel in the EU as ling you have open borders.

    Supermarket icon... I don't see the benefit of that.

    Maybe others do, might be an useful addition.

    Coming from a prospective of a motorcycle rider doing a day trip, nah, indeed, simply using the lunch icon would imho also suffice.

    However, thinking a bit more out of the box: from an i.e. RV perspective doing a humongous holiday trip, moving from destination to destination, a supermarket icon that indicates where to load supplies would definitely be useful. πŸ˜„ A border icon for that matter can also be useful to that same kind of user category πŸ˜‰, especially considering the fact that the user base of MRA is vastly extending beyond the EU.

        Not everyone travels only in EU. MRA is an international product with users worldwide.
        Besides that, some people like to know when they cross a border, even if they are open.
        Especially since in the EU we have open borders (although some seem to want to close them...) the smaller border crossing roads often are not showing the border very clearly. In such a case it can be meaningful to add a sign while planning.

        I am not really waiting for such a sign personally, but sometimes it is worthwhile to empathize with another person's situation.

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

        Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

          even within the EU many of the old border control posts still exist, so they are a feature on the road even if they are now mostly unattended & not in use

          I actually mark border crossings with a warning waypoint with text telling me of its imminent arrival
          I find it is not unusualΒ to find police vehicles lurking around border crossingsΒ even if there is no passport or immigration control

            Also isn't there a border between Croatia and Bosnia.
            Bosnia and Serbia.
            Serbia and Romania?
            Also Montenegro, Albania.

              I can see that a "store" icon can be helpfull.
              Not special a supermarket icon, but a store in general.

              But for bordercrossing or other special places I would place a "warning" icon with text in it.
              And normally i place it a couple kilometers before the actual crossing because you never know what is waiting in front of you :D.

                      As an avid geocacher, I have applied long time ago for a Geocaching Icon. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible.

                      Als verwoed geocacher heb ik al eens een aanvraag gedaan voor een Geocaching Icon. Helaas schijnt niet mogelijk te zijn.

                      met een R1250RT met TFT en BMW Connected Ride App; de Garmin Zumo XT en My Route App in combinatie met de Carpuride W702 (voor Android op de Motor!)

                        The food icon is a sandwich. You have no idea what my tour friends would say if I told them we were having a sandwich for lunch. The classic β€˜knife and fork’ icon is more appropriate.

                          A knife and fork would assume I'm a modern age developed person using cutlery to eat lunch, and would therefore not be inclusive to the neanderthal caveman which is what I consider myself to be... Sometimes, I even go as far as to kill my sandwhich before I devour it with my bare hands and getting the excess saucy smudge all over my bare chest... Aaaarrggh... πŸ‘Ή

                          All joking aside, I would consider changing the current lunch or food icon for that matter, to a knife and fork symbol to be a utter waste of valuable resources haha. Are we gonna request to change the coffee icon to an George Clooney (n)espresso, latte macchiato, or even americano for that matter just to suit all different aspects of each culture around the world? πŸ˜€

                              @Lex.Kloet.RX Ook daarover kunnen we "discuzeuren". Ik vind dat tanken (brandstof) alles met stoppen te maken heeft. Ik kan nog steeds niet rijdend tanken. Bij een historisch punt daarentegen hoef ik niet altijd te stoppen!

                              Wel een leuke discussie πŸ˜€


                              We can "argue" about that too. I think refueling (fuel) has everything to do with stopping. I still can't refuel while driving. A historical landmark, on the other hand, doesn't always require me to stop!

                              Still, it's a fun discussion πŸ˜€

                                Zonder benzine kun je niet rijden, dus het heeft in mijn beleving met "bewegen" te maken. 😁 Maar je kunt zo meerdere subgroepen maken. Als je kijkt in welke volgorde ik ze heb gezet, zit daar ook een logica in. πŸ˜‰
                                Los daarvan, ik blijf van mening, dat het nu door elkaar staat en ook al ben ik een intensieve ge-/verbruiker. Ik prik nog regelmatig mis met mijn muis, omdat het nu niet intuΓ―tief is.

                                Geluk/verliefdheid is net als in je broek plassen. Iedereen ziet het alleen jij voelt het.

                                      Als de tolpoort er maar bij komt om te stoppen....
                                      If only the toll gate would be there to stop...

                                        @Uwe-Schoelich, yes, you are right... sometimes we forget to stick to the OP language... But if you think the Dutch answers are interesting, you can use Deepl yourself too πŸ˜‰ It integrates nicely with your browser.

                                          @Con-Hennekens wie is JIM???
                                          En over die indeling, ik vond het voer voor discussie en @Rob-Verhoeff is daar prima mee omgegaan. Daarom heb ik mijn indeling ook wat genuanceerd.
                                          Punt is, ik begrijp van oa Corjan, dat er meer icoontjes bij gaan komen. Dan is het beter om nu al een indeling te maken, hoofd-/subgroepen, zodat iedereen er intuΓ―tief mee kan werken. Zo zou je "stoppen" nog kunnen verdelen in "overnachten en overige horeca" en bijvoorbeeld "korte pauzes". Welke indeling er komt, boeit mij niet zo, alleen hete mag allemaal wat logischer, dan zoals het nu staat.

                                          Geluk/verliefdheid is net als in je broek plassen. Iedereen ziet het alleen jij voelt het.
