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?
If you count on the MRA "avoid highway" option (or any other option for that matter) then it can go wrong because a GPS device with different settings can still interprete the resulting GPX file completely different.
In my humble opinion, the best way to make a route is to put sufficient waypoints on the whole route and that can include putting some waypoints on a highway. The options in the routeplanner toolbox do not influence the settings of a GPS device.
@Hans-van-de-Ven-RouteXpert That is an understatement Hans 
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:
@inge-bakermans Welcome to MRA. I am also a user just like you and, out of curiosity, have tried several routeplanners, just to come back to MRA every time.
I advise looking at the instruction video's that you can find on MRA.
You should always use the HERE map as "final map" if you want to export to a garmin device.
During preparation of the route, you can use whatever map available in the routeplanner while making your route. Usually, I switch between several maps to make my route, for instance the michelin map is famous for its green roads guaranteeing sightseeing along the route.
The safest approach fro a Garmin user is to work on the HERE map from the start, switch to Michelin or other maps to enrich the route, then come back to HERE to export to your device.
I hope this helps.
@pad-0 Often, things like this have a very simple explanation, it is the finding of that explanation that is difficult
Hene, my request to Paul to show us the route so we can check.
@paul-hulsegge Good idea to become "gold". But Pad 0 is right as well, there is avery bgi difference btween the time calcualted by MRA (even when it is the free version) and Garmin.
If you make your route public we could have a look at it.
@spili I guess there are a ton of that kind of devices. It seems not feasible to me for MRA to remain compatible with all those tools, no matter how interesting they may be for part of the MRA community.
@paul-hulsegge Things you could check:
You can have used a different map on MRA routeplanner than is available on your device. For a garmin, you need to use the HER map on the routeplanner, which is the same as on your garmin. Still, the map on you device could be outdated compared to the on-line map.
there can be a difference in settings yuo made on MRA compared to your device. Potentially, your garmin is pushing yuo on the highway in between waypoints?
Are there any roadblocks or closed roads not known to your device?
@hans-van-de-ven-mra-master said in Navigating via MRA Navigation...:
@stefanhummelink ans @Matt-Flaming
I'm going to take a test drive today, both in the off-line and on-line setting with MRA Navigation on Android device. (Samsung Galaxy A8)
Version One UI: 1.0
Android version: 9I created a favorite that is 45 minutes away from the starting point so after 30 minutes the app should crash
This is developing like a real thriller or how even an IT bug can cause soem positive excitement :-):-)
@hans-van-de-ven-mra-master Exactly. Thanks a million
Hai,
I once read an article/post on MRA on using MRA routeplanner in my own (or someone else's) website.
I can't find that article back.
Is there anyone who can point me to that article? Or otherwise give me info on the possibilities to use MRA to do the Point of Interest/routing engine on a website?
