JAAG: Just Another Average Guy
@Nick-Carthew-RouteXpert
I just looked at your "El Grande" route. Impressive from two viewpoints:
My God, what a trip
What a fantastic preparation, you are really putting a lot of time preparign and documenting your journeys. A real showcase of what is possible with MRA
@matt-flaming At my job, our big boss (also called Director General) has forbidden us to discuss on anything using email.... or any other form of electronic writing because he considers it the best way possible ... to end up in an argument, even when nobody really wants to have an argument.
Hence, I spend quite some time video conferencing... and have to admit my DG is right (there is a reason why he is director general 
).
Here on this forum it is the same, we all start from our own experience, are from different cultures... and sometimes write somethign that can be taken badly by someone else. That does apply to everybody here, i am not throwing any stone to anybody in particular (it would mess up my computer screen )
Basically, you must stay on board... your critical view is valuable, I may not always agree ... but that is maybe the best part of it. Your criticism makes me think... and that on its own is constructive.
and let's agree to be even more careful in future how we say things, Constructive criticism, even when said muted, is picked up and will be listened to by the company running this show.
All the best
Idon't know whether the following qualifies as "discussion of the list itself, its' structure and possibly its' level of accuracy" as I am basically adding to the list but I have the following additional requests:
A download option for all our routes in one go, respecting the folder structure, as backup
Integration of our MRA account and profile, and the forum account and profile with options to decide what we want to make public and what not
Are you doing the same? I mean, constructing the most fabulous tours and holidays in MRA, looking at roads and points of interests in area's you've never been, dreaming of months on the road...
Corona boredom has strange effects, for sure
I notice that novice users are sometimes struggling with the most simple things like how to make a route public.
Obviously, that is lack of experience, in combination with impatience to start using the system without going through the complete support site, but it is also a consequence of having difficulties finding the info.
So, I would like to put a request for the GSList to simplify and make coherent the user interface again.
@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master I am not a graphical designer, my programming skills were honed back in times where a computer delivered "output" under form of "listings" which were endless lengths of paper with a chain of small holes left and right to pull that paper through the printer.
Anything better than that is fine in my book
Bu that aside, i kind of like that those buttons, they have a joly look. I would however love to see the pop up a bit different. When it opens, halve of the buttons are hidden and one needs to pushh the "triangle with three dots" to open it up fully. I would hugely prefer to see all buttons in one go.
When making a route, each waypoint introduced leads to an automatic recalculation. When seriously changing a (long) route this can be a bt annoying as the system can take quite some time to recalculate and I have to wait in front of the screen until its done;
As a user, I would like to be able to stop automatic recalculation to change many points (or their order in the route) , or to combine several exiting routes and delete all the unneeded parts of that combination, and only have it calculated once when I switch calculation back on.
Uncalculated parts of the routes could be shown on screen by straight dotted lines (as an example).
I guess this could also save some server time?
@Hans-van-de-Ven-RouteXpert That is an understatement Hans 
@TJ-Higgins the satelite layer from Here is still there, it may (zoomed out) not look so nice but once you zoom in it is ok
I fully support your request. I use MRA as well to organise, from the comfort of my big screen PC, all trips for a weeks holiday or travelling.
Being able to calculte stop times at a point of interest would be big plus :-:+1:
@jack-van-tilburg that will not work Jack. Remember we had via points and shaping points. Now they start to use the tetm training points onstead. What i mean is, soon the new convention Nick is promoting will not be newenough and some other naming will come.
@hans-van-de-ven-mra-master said in 1.2 of 1.1 export:
Als je 1.2 gebruikt moet je het herberekenen uit zetten. En op zicht terg naar de route navigeren
En wat zijn de voordelen van 1.2 dan?
@nick-carthew said in Time Zones:
@glen-heron The short answer to your question is no, there isn’t an option for time zones. I agree with @Herko-ter-Horst adding an hour in a pause break will just adjust the calculated journey time.
Only in one direction.
And this is only a hack, not a solution.
I find it a good question, don't understand why it received negatively
@nick-carthew my color coxe comes from traffic lights, green is safe, red is stop
@jeffry-stuivenberg het grootste probleem met het rijden aan de verkeerde kant van de weg is dat je het na een tijdje stomweg vergeet wat tot heel gevaarlijke situaties kan leiden.
Als ik naar engeland ga dan bevestig ik, eenmaal in de tunnel, een groen lintje aan mijn linkerspiegel en een rood aan mijn rechterspiegel. als een constante herinnering dat het even anders is dan normaal; En dat heeft me al een paar keer goed geholpen.
A pattern seems to emerge here:
seems very similar to the discussions on the pictures appearing in routes.
Do you think we can be sure that MRA routes in GPX 1.0 or GPX 1.1 are actually following the GPX standard?

The gpx 1.2 is the MRA name for an unflaged route, only the via-points and a track based route, and yes gpx 1.1 is still the standerd.
So, whenever (if ever) the organization behind the GPX standard creates a new version.... we will have massive confusion?

.gpx 1.2 (route, track POI):
• Note: This export replaces the .gpx 1.1 Zumo XT beta export
What is this GPX 1.2 actually, I thought that the official GPX standard is still at GPX 1.1?
@con-hennekens said in How to remove the pictures:
... I also agree with @PAD-0 that communication from MRA to the customers has been lacking .... I would just not spill that many words on it
Some people still think that it has value to voice on this forum their questions, idea's, suggestions, opinions, concerns... while all evidence suggests that this is not the case. It appears today as if this forum has been nothing more than a temporary publicity effort, similar to the roadmap for instance.
Have you noticed on the facebook channel that there are tests starting of the android versus ios navigation tool and the new mobile app? Facebook is now the new MRA "place to be" until that also is dropped in favour of...
We just have to let MRA do what it does, use its products if we like them, and above all avoid being locked in and become dependent on it.
@stefanhummelink Fantastic, at least we are able to have agood laugh
