@Steve-Lynch, Similarly I used to prepare my Zumo 390 for the "just in case" scenarios. Now I have a CAT S52 navigation/phone running MRA Navigation, I do not see the benefit of the Zumo anymore.

I am running version 1.6.10 too, but I am not aware of it being a beta, and it does not get mentioned in the app.

@Kudee, I think it is way better to release the new app exactly in the off-season. So users can get used to new functionality and changes NOT in the high season. Although that is a difficult thing in an App that is used worldwide

Because I was hoping to get the all-inclusive, all-encompassing software solution that is printed on the box...the one that advertises MRA Planner and MRA Nav as a complete alternative to Garmin/TomTom...

I mean, I paid for it, it seems like I should be able to use it.

I still see no exaggeration in that marketing. Concerning car and motor navigation that is, about walking and cycling some things can be said... I have a Garmin and all software that goes with it, I haven't touched it in three years. I think that when you embrace the whatever quirks you see in MRA, like you obviously have embraced the quirks of other routeplanners, you can be quite satisfied with MRA. MRA has proven to listen to customers pretty good and no, not all of my input has been developed either. It is not so nice to keep attacking them about it, as if your ideas are more important then others.

@Nick-Carthew said in Reverse Route:

as far as I know there are no GPS devices that will accurately reverse a route that has route points on a dual carriageways

I never suggested that there are. I was merely pointing out a flaw that I see in the current system, that I would like to see improved. That flaw being the waypoints, which you are pretty defensive of and apparently don't think they need any work?

Why do you expect a totally different behaviour from MRA than from any other routeplanner? It will be my day when a routeplanner goes moving routepoints that I have set deliberately... Routepoints need to be set with a plan in mind. If the plan changes (reversing e.g.) that can affect waypoints. That cannot be automated, and I would not want that to be automated.

I know of no tools that require the level of detail that you HAVE to provide as much as MRA. On other planning apps, I can just drag the line where I want and it routes me, regardless of which side of the road it thinks it's on. Why do I have to zoom in and get so detailed with every route?

Dragging lines or placing waypoints is exactly the same. From my days with Basecamp and Mapsource I remember the same problem concerning splitted driveways, if you set a waypoint on the wrong lane.

You obviously like another routeplanner better. What is keeping you from using that one instead of MRA?

@David-Rudgley, What Nick says, plus different versions of the TomTom map (or any map) can lead to different results.

@Werner-19
A lot is dependent on which device you are using on your bike. But in general I would advise NOT to use any "twisty route" options or any other non-default calculation options. The problem with them is that they do not translate to your device automatically, so your device does not know with which settings your route has been planned. That's recipe for disaster...

Of course you can use the TomTom twist-route option to calculate a route, but I would always make it equal to the default-options of whatever map you are using. So the steps would be:

1. Create a twisty route on the TomTom map
2. Create a new default route on the map that you are actually using on your device (might be the same tomtom map).
3. Overlay your twisty route on your new route
4. Draw your new route to be equal to your twisty route, adding as many shapingpoints as needed.

This new route is the route you want to use on your device, with the factory default routing options. This procedure makes your route independent from any device-settings. Another option would be to recalculate your route on the basis of the track from the twisty route, but then you loose your waypoints.

Now if you start drawing your route at the point where the twisties begin, from within the city any device will take you to the startingpoint in the fastest way possible, also by highway if that's quicker.

@P-Meijers Deze setting hoort er zo uit te zien:
