@Drabslab This kind of roadbook (prayer book) is originally used for car rallye sport (by Co driver). For Motorbike it had to be transformed from book to that systen, because there is no Co driver who is able to read an to tell (pray) to the driver. Modern devices may no longer use paper, but may be electronic. Still used for long distance rallyes like Dakar Rallye.

Hardware: Garmin Zumo 396 - used on bike as well in car; for hiking it's not possible because of small battery which is not changable. Second disadvantage is screen, which has low contrast. But great advantage is receive of GPS signal also in difficult areas. I was never ever disappointed! And complete range of data in tracka like position, time, speed, distance in time and Km, hight. Different maps are usable like proprietary cards from GARMIN as well as Open Street Map or topo cards. And it's shock resistent (important for biking) and waterproof. Main use: Navigation along pre planned routes. Searching for fuel stations. Sometimes sponateous routing from A to B. Never using such dubious gimmicks like round trip or extra curvy routes. Software: MRA Routeplanner, because it's mire than a routplanner which I really appreciate Garmin BaseCamp, used before MRA Routplanner but has still some advantages for route planning in front of MRA Routplanner MRA Navigation, to compare with real SatNav like Garmin. But it's dissapointing in many cases: information during navigation, poore data in tracks, often loosing GPS signal (mostly based on Hardware of Smartphone). In consequence: impossibility to use track from SatNav for events and others! MRA Video, I'm nsure if I will use it, because it's too playfulnand lengthy and can only process 10 fotos! Kurviger, for hiking, because MRA Routplanner or MRA Navigation is using during tracking only HEERE maps. But those maps doesn't contain pathes whitch hikers are using Advantages: As wrote in some words above. Most important advantage of MRA is: it's more than a route planning SW. It's a wonderfull community platfom to share routes, tracks, travel stories and offer events. And usable with any kind of device (PC, Android, iPhone, Tablet) Routes can be compared with TomTom and Garmin on the fly. Routes can be transformed and downloaded in other formats. Transmission to SatNavs is easy. Drawbacks: Restriction of using track files from own SatNav for events and travel stories!! Poor data in tracks. Non visible data of tracks (only coloured line as layer in map). Not selectable maps during tracking. Track from pedestrian are not only needed for archiving. More important is to know during walking, where I am - but without topo map, it can't be visible. Future: Hope, to get quickly best features from Tyre as well as from BaseCamp, Relive and Route Generator combined in MRA. More freedom for users, what to see on screen (which tools, icons, dates etc.).

@Timo-Martosatiman-MRA Hai Timo: This is really bad, In fact its [quote] all life as you know it stopping instantaniously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light" kind of bad.[unquote] and that is an understatement!!!! Jokes aside: MRA, as a relatively small company, is publishing an exciting roadmap on basis of user input, signaling to all users and potential future users that MRA is healthy and growing, and thriving, and enthusiastic and .....* then carefully hides the roadmap under a, probably seldomly used, button ony visible to existing clients???? Is there a contradiction somewhere??? Am I going nuts??? (no,I already am, that was an easy question) But still, this roadmap should be broadcasted on the main menu's, it's the best publicity you can ever have. PS: I wonder if you know where that quote comes from

@Arno-van-Lochem Yep, we have to be patient and relax My father in law (93 years old and in good shape) thinks that we are strongly exagerating the magnitued of the crisis. Yes, he is scared, at his age that bug will kill him if it catches him, and he knows that and is extremily careful. But then, no bombs, no guns, no excecutions, no raids at night, no V-1, no V-2, no downed pilots to hide, no ambushes, no food shortage ... Everything is relative of course but if we get through this by folowing a few simple rules and instructions then we are lucky

@Reinhard-32 said in Navigation with windows 10 tablet: Hi Drabslab, I misunderstood your question. A native MRA Navigation App is a good idea. But is there a marked for that? I would guess yes. Microsoft has a few times completely lost in the mobile market (first by designing a tablet that did not sell) then with the Nokia phones that went nowhere. But the surface line of tablets seems a real success, even to the extend that it "forced" Apple in doing something they promised would never do. Anyway, it seems to me that bringing MRA Nav to the windows platform, where MRA Web is already very happy, should not be an ultra complicated thing?

@Drabslab said in Great suggestion list: map version: Based upon user input, It appears that some map versions differ between navigation app and web application, or are outdated (see recent post on openmap) ? Hello Drabslab, I also think this would be an really interesting information to know.

Hi Drab, while what @Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master is saying is true, I do agree with you that it'd be nice to move the graph. In fact, I'd like to scale it too! I'll write it down. Thanks for the idea.

@Nick-Carthew yep. Map layers were temporarily unavailable due to the teams' method of removing Google services and building the remainder back up efficiently.

I can confirm this too: my Garminn Zumo 210 and 956 are recording all this dates.

Hi Drab, I'll add this one to the list once we've published the new RoadMap ('s coming soon! We've waited with publishing because there are some very exciting announcements in the near future)

Thank you for that! We're certainly doing what we can.

Hi Drab, MRA Video is definitely on the menu. I've told this to some other users as well and I'm not sure if I posted it here already but the essence of it all is that the dev team is working on shortening render times several times over. It's not going to be a whole lot of fun when you can choose a route to create a video of and then wait for over a day until it's finished.

@Timo-Martosatiman-MRA :-):-):-) I am getting old, or blind

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master I kind of like little stories with a small edge in the hope that these are recognizable for others. Although I think that for this particular story the other bikers involved may not like it that much

@Drabslab Thanks, I assume that Timo will include this in the list, whether it will actually be implemented remains to be seen.
