Geo Grids?

I'm not a computer guy so I am not sure if this is the correct name for my idea! And also it may be available already but I cant figure it out. I live near Cleveland Ohio USA, when I route a route it by default I'm sure takes me into a very close city. It would be nice to be able to "shade in an area" and MRA route planner will not go there. East Cleveland is not the place to be. I realize I can re-route by placing way points, which I do. However it always wants to take me that way. Also when I start I have noticed It thinks I'm already over there! Sometimes my GPS says I'm 15 miles from where I am really located.

Tell me, how exactly do you plan your route? Do you place the route points yourself, or do you let the website generate a route for you?

Is your GPS a standalone device, a phone or some other device? Does Waze or Google Maps also think you are located 15 miles away?

Hello all and sorry for the delay, I was on vacation. We put a little over 2200 miles on in a week. I used MRA all week long and I give it a 90% on performance. I use my phone for the GPS, and yes I place the route points myself. I Like MRA because it allows me to ride the roads I want to take. I have a Garmin in my truck, and my gf has an Iphone. Neither one of these devices show me 10-15 miles away from my home. Also when I use my phone with Google maps it shows me at my home. It only seems to be the MRA app, not sure why. I have also noticed on vacation (we used off line maps due to service issues in the mountains) the arrow strays off the map a lot! When we were on the backroads it did pretty good and kept us on track, in the mountains...WHOO! that thing was all over the place and not giving us accurate directions. I did notice if I use the plus and minus button and scrolled out on the screen it seemed to lock on a little better, but still not great. This could also be a altitude issue? We were high in the Smokie Mountains. I would like to see a feature where if your using off line maps the arrow defaults and sticks to the pre programed route (like my Garmin does).
