Perhaps this seasonal challenge was a bit misguided and certainly not the best idea MRA ever had, but then again...

I disagree that it was a bad idea. Many, if not all of the challenges were aimed at improving the knowledge of users of the MRA RoutePlanner. A lot of the questions often asked in this forum we’re catered for within the challenges. Maybe the timing wasn’t quite right, as Timo pointed out, at the time of launch we were coming out of lockdown and I think a lot of people were understandably keen to get away from their desks and to go out and explore again. I also think that the marketing side of the 2022 Season Challenge launch could have put a bit more emphasis on what the aims of the Season Challenge were, i.e. a fun way to learn.
I may be a little biased here, because it was me that set the challenges but putting that to one side, I’m still a firm believer in making learning fun. And I hope to be involved in any future community led challenges.

I do however agree that arrogance played no role in the MRA 2022 Season Challenge and lessons have already been learned.

Hello. My name is Nick Carthew, I'm 59 years young (2019) and I live in a 350 year old cottage on the coast of North Devon between Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks. Our last house was built in the 15c so by our standards, this one is relatively modern!
This is a beautiful part of the UK and my wife Hannah and I are lucky to have many places on our doorstep to ride our motorcycles.
We love touring on our motorcycles and use MyRoute-app Navigation and a TomTom Rider 500 for Navigating.
The routes that I make are not full of fast twisty bends, although if there are some, it's a bonus
I like to design routes through beautiful scenery on smaller less used roads, this way you get to see the real country that you may be travelling in. We also love history and will always include an historic site or two on our tours, this could be anything from the very thought provoking D Day landings to a stone age megalithic site and everything in between.

I am a mentor within the MyRoute-app RouteXpert framework and can help out with most of your queries regarding route planning. I am also quite knowledgeable with Tomtom Rider gps and as my signature says: "Always willing to help if I can".

We are particularly interested in routes in the red zones if you have any to share and would like to see in the MRA RX Library.

BREAKING NEWS

MyRoute-app news: Lock waypoints for routes

Over the past couple of years, we have received great feedback and suggestions from our MyRoute-app community. One of the most suggested features has been the ability to lock waypoints. We can now present our newest feature that enables just that.

By locking in your waypoints for a route, you will no longer have any accidental: placements/edits/deletion of your waypoints. We’ve ensured that the locking of waypoints can be enabled and disabled at any time, meaning that you can lock and unlock waypoints on the fly!

There are 2 ways that you can lock/unlock your waypoints. The first being possible inside of your route list (on your MRA-profile). There will now be a new lock icon, located on the right of each route inside of your route list. By clicking on this lock-icon, you will disable editing of waypoints for that specific route. As stated previously, you can easily disable the waypoints lock by clicking on the unlock-icon.

It is also possible to lock waypoints while using the route editor. You will now be able to see a new lock icon on the left of your screen, while editing your route. By clicking on this lock icon, all waypoint editing will be disabled. You can also easily unlock the waypoints of your route, by clicking on the unlock icon.

Well done MRA

For those that do not see Facebook.

Wij zijn druk bezig met onze nieuwe projecten, waaronder het mogelijk maken van segmenten in de route! Momenteel is alleen het grafische gedeelte geïmplementeerd. Binnenkort kun je je route opsplitsen in segmenten, om zo voorkeuren voor bepaalde delen van de rit aan te geven. Wil jij van routepunt 5 t/m 10 de snelweg vermijden? Geen probleem! Dat kan dan aangegeven worden met segmenten. Binnenkort meer..!

We are busy with our new projects, including enabling segments in the route! Currently only the graphics part is implemented. You will soon be able to split your route into segments to indicate preferences for certain parts of the ride. Do you want to avoid the highway from route point 5 to 10? No problem! This can then be indicated with segments. More coming soon..!

Congratulations on beating the cancer, it's always good to hear a positive story.

Hi @mattatron. Your friends that have accepted your invite will appear on the left side of the route editor. And as well as what Hans said above about receiving track notifications from friends, you can choose to set route privacy to friends allowing only you and your friends to see certain routes. You sent me a friend request which I have just accepted, I noticed that you don't have any About Me information on your profile. It's always nice to read a little about other members, why not add a few lines about what sort of riding you enjoy. Add where you live too, not your address, but just the basic region, this can lead to meeting up with others in your area or who share your interests. By the way, I've just left a comment on your South East Coast route to Whitstable track

New update performed for OpenStreetMap (OSM)!

In recent weeks we have received more and more reports that certain routes no longer work in the OSM map. For this we have looked at the problem and found the solution.

The seasonal roads closures are now turned off for the OSM map. This means that it is again possible to plan routes anytime, anywhere.

After my Yamaha fizzy Fs1e my next bike was a Yamaha DT175. My friend has an identical one now and allowed Hannah to ride it. It was a very nostalgic moment for me 🫠

The problem where pause breaks were not visible for some screen resolutions has now been fixed. @David-Rudgley

@Drabslab I have the same situation but with a different wife When I have made a route I just share it to my wife and she adds it to her account.

@John-Sinclair What issues are you having? I can change the privacy of my routes without problems.

@Kudee This is the community forum and is not regularly checked by MRA. I suggest that you open a ticket in the support section.

@Jack-van-Tilburg Great feedback, thank you Jack, I will pass it on to René

@Rik-Grimbergen If the country flag is blank, try moving the first route point a little, this normally solves the problem.

And what other bike can transport a whole baguette?

My wife’s CB500X can carry two

@Jabp Thank you for taking the time to mock up your very detailed ideas and explanation. Personally I, and I’m sure most other potential users would prefer to see a map on the screen. Great that you’re thinking outside of the box though.

Think just over the border in Germany (near Nijmegen). A small place called Xanten

In Great Britain it will be more difficult

Would Exeter be acceptable
