I am sure automatic skipping of waypoints used to work much better than it does now. You may have noticed that this feature is shown as ‘beta’ in settings, so it may not have been carried forward in development - possibly. Whatever the reason this problem, combined with manual skipping waypoints now being impossible to do on the move, Navigation has become difficult to use. If you don’t deviate from the route and you hit every waypoint then everything is fine; but in reality how often does this happen? Roadworks, accident etc invariably cause a diversion from the route, or you may simply decide to deviate… I hope these bugs can be fixed soon.

Strange that the petrol station notifications seem to come and go. This feature disappeared for me I am guessing about a year ago, never to reappear!

I agree with your observations about the format of the screen.

I have noticed some issues recently when using MRA Navigation -

Missed ‘shaping’ waypoints are not automatically skipped until you are over half way to the next. On a straightforward road there can (should) be quite a large distance between waypoints, so that for example waypoints spaced say 10mls apart Navigation will keep trying to route back for 5+ miles. I have tried this out and it is too great a distance to travel, during which the app is constantly recalculating and re-routing and you are effectively lost. I am not sure what the optimum distance limit before skipping should be, but perhaps 1 mile? Previous versions dealt with skips much better.

Of course you can skip waypoints manually, using the submenu, but you first have to enter the number of skips via a keyboard, then press ok. Very difficult to do with gloves on and dangerous whilst riding. Previous Navigation versions had a single button to skip one point, which was better and made it possible to do on the move. If more skips were required press again - simple! Even better if the skip button were on the main screen. Incidentally, I don’t think the other functions on the submenu, (route & navigation preferences, save location etc) are essential whilst navigating as these are set in the main menu before loading the route.

A small issue, but I am fairly sure Navigation previously used to display distance to petrol stations. This was useful. Has this been dropped?

I try not to be negative about Navigation and I use it for navigation on my motorbike almost all the time. It is a good app but the recent ‘skipping’ issues are making it more difficult to use than previously, rather than better.

Has anyone else noticed these problems?

I have version Navigation v1.0.30 on an iPhone 7.

@Armand-Thomassen I tried opening some 'old' routes into Sygic using my iPhone7, unfortunately no success. Looks like the issue is more general with IOS. Agree it would be good to fix this bug asap.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master
You don't use a gpx. When you select Sygic, from the screen shown, MRA opens Sygic with the route selected. Or rather it did previously, but not now.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master
Hi Hans, no it is not that. I have tried very simple routes with few waypoints, but it still does not work. I used the route shown yesterday, but with a previous version of Sygic and it worked perfectly. After I updated - nothing.
I suspect MRA have not yet caught up with the latest version of Sygic, which has only just been released in the last few days. I am hoping this can happen quite soon, as it is a very useful feature. Unfortunately there is no way of reverting to the previous version of Sygic.

After updating the Sygic App (Version 20.4.4) on my iphone 7, I find I am no longer able to open a track into Sygic as I was able to do before. Any ideas why this feature no longer works?

@StefanHummelink Thanks for looking into this for me - see my reply to Nick below.

@Nick-Carthew Ok, it may just be my phone. However it is not a big problem, as I only really use the zoom as a workaround to get an overview of a route in progress. Hopefully we will have an 'overview' button in a future release. Thanks for looking at it.

Thanks for looking at this.

Zooming Navigation is a persistent problem on my iPhone 7. I can zoom other apps such as Google Maps by 'pinching' or double tapping the screen, so it is not a problem with the phone or phone settings. In fact I can zoom the map in MRA Navigation when a route is first loaded, but as soon as I use the route for navigation it is impossible to zoom out - to see an overview. I can move the position of the map, but it is impossible to change the scale. As a workaround I can Exit the route, which gives an overview (and from memory progress along the route) and start again from the next route point.

It may be an iPhone problem only, so hopefully support will look into it. We really do need an 'Overview' button on the main screen.

Is it my imagination or is it no longer possible to zoom out in the Navigation app? I have previously suggested an ‘overview’ button be incorporated in future updates, but as it stands zooming is (was) the only way to see an overview of the route in progress ie where you are now, how far of the you have you completed etc. I am using iPhone 7 so it may just be a problem for Apple. If the zoom function has recently been omitted can it be reinstated asap please?

Also, I notice that you now have to input the number of route point skips, whereas previously the default was 1. This was quite useful as it was possible to skip with a single touch, or to repeat this until the desired number of skips is achieved. A ‘skip’ button on the main screen would be better.
