    • RE: PRESS RELEASE: MyRoute-app finally gains access to Apple Carplay

      Ik kan er in elk geval niks over vinden in de roadmap: https://myrouteapp.ac-page.com/roadmap-main-page
      Maar die is denk ik alleen voor MRA bedoeld, niet voor Navigation. Hoewel Navigation het meest gebruikt wordt om voorgetekende routes te rijden, zou het inderdaad wel prettig zijn als ook de A naar B navigatie handiger wordt doormiddel van Carplay (en Android Auto!) functies. Je leert dan beter met Navigation omgaan, om de simpele reden dat je het vaker zult gebruiken. Ik ben dus ook wel benieuwd, ook al heb ik geen Apple device 😉

    • RE: Garmin route uploads...I find that the routes just get corrupted. It appears that the its a known problem

      Probably for the same reason Garmin corrupts TomTom routes, and often even Garmin routes... Importing routes from any platform to any platform will introduce "corruption" as you call it. Fact is that any platform will calculate the route between routepoints as it sees fit, given the many parameters like map and settings.

      Mostly I just import a track from the gpx, and redraw the route myself. I think that it works quicker and more certain than any automatic import function.

    • RE: Webinars niet te vinden

      Ik heb me daar inderdaad ook al mottig naar gezocht.
      Wat daarbij ook niet helpt is dat de sortering in de webinar room niet klopt. Ook niet als je op datum sorteert.

    • RE: MRA All-in-one Dit abonnement behelst precies wat het zegt: alles-in-een. Met dit totaal pakket krijgt u dus toegang tot MRA Routeplanner Gold, MRA Navigation en MRA Video.

      @Peter-H-0
      Als je bent ingelogd op de MRA website (niet het forum, maar mytouteapp.com), klik dan eens rechtsboven op je profiel icoon / foto, en klik dan op account. In het overzicht dat verschijnt scroll je naar beneden, daar zie je welke onderdelen actief zijn en tot wanneer.

      Heb jij een abonnement met maandbetaling of zo? Het kan zijn dat MRA een langere periode voor gereduceerd tarief probeert aan te bieden. Als je dat niet wilt, gewoon negeren.

    • RE: The Great Suggestion List

      @Con-Hennekens said in The Great Suggestion List:

      Nice to find myself in the list 😉
      The actual suggestion was to "search routes based on X-distance form destantion an originating Y-distance from desired starting point" But I will forgive about the shortened version 😉

      May I deposit another one here, for Navigation?

      • Expand the on-screen information with current-time, direction or compass, Height, en maybe more. It could be placed on either side of a landscape navigation screen, since more map than really needed is shown when using landscape. Maybe even move speed etc to the same location.

      And for MRA?

      • Since we have the heightprofile information, it could be used for a "caravan & camper" function. As opposite to the curvy road functions, Caravan and Camper drivers could benefit from leaving out slopes beyond a certain parameter.

      To add to myself (all for Navigation):

      • it would be excellent to have the "next turn" indicator at the top left show the next waypoint number to which you are navigating too. That keeps track of route progress, and in case of reboots, recalculations (often start at the beginning again) it gives a better idea of to which waypoint to skip (seems an easy one!)
      • in addition to the above, it would be great if a single tap on the map would show a 2d overview of the route, and your location in it. That is much easier to zoom into areas that on the standard 3d naviagtion map. It seems odd to have to quit navigation in order to see an overview of the route.
      • If there is a need to skip waypoints, it is a real PITA to have to scroll through the waypoints one by one. Why not make the waypoint selectable on the map? It is already clickable, just the button "select this waypoint to skip to" is missing. I can't imagine that to be a difficult change, but if so, a dropbox in which you can select a waypoint would already be a lot of progress. Besides: pressing "close" on a selected waypoint in that view takes you out of the "skip to" function, instead of just out of the selected waypoint details. Probably a bug.
      • make the "start navigation from" options a system default option. At the moment of writing it is implemented as a routing-option, and it defaults to "start of the route" each time a route loads. That can't be meant like that 😉

      Most of these additions come from some frustration because of the fact that while navigating it frequently starts recalculating (sometimes while taking a wrong turn, sometimes spontaneously) and in some of those cases it start at the beginning of the route instead of the closest waypoint (ahead!). I am not sure why, but I think it has to do with the fact that where normally the remaining time and kilometers are shown, a text shows "calculating" instead for very long and very often. The navigation runs with no problems at that point. I did not have a chance to test, but I think having the system in off-line mode helps against that.

    • RE: Differences between MyRoute-app and the Navigation app

      @Drabslab said in Differences between MyRoute-app and the Navigation app:

      Con suggested to store the settings used in MRA Web (for instance: "avoid highways", calculate route using HERE, ... whatever ) inside the route so that these settings could be recuperated when later on you would re-open the route...

      That is exactly what I wanted to suggest indeed. From an MRA point of view it is not that hard I presume. All different maps have their own settings concerning the changeable routing parameters (the toolkit options change with the map you choose). The problem is more to convince Garmin en TomTom to program their devices to take those route-settings out of the started route instead of the device config. Programming Navigation they have in their own hands 😉
