@Christian-Schrenk said in Differences between MyRoute-app and the Navigation app:
This error must be corrected. The algorithm for route calculation must be the same as in MRA-Web so that the routes are 100% identical.
I supporting this. The route in the navigation app must be 100% the same as the planned route.
Hello, I am Reinhard, born 1948, pensioner and come from Reutlingen, Germany.
I have been riding a motorcycle since 1981. First a Moto Guzzi 850 T4 and then since 1992 Honda Pan European. Over the years, about 400,000 km have come together.
My travels have taken me criss-crossing Europe. From Norway to Sicily and from Scotland to the Balikum.
Since 2004 I have been navigating with various Garmin devices and came across MyRoute-app by chance. I like the concept and I think it will be further developed.
@chris-wise Go to your account and switch from metric to imperial.
@Mark-Davies-0
I’m a CoPilot user as well and I think, CoPilot should use the most common GPX data format instead of her own and rarely used .trp format.
@steve-lynch I have testet it at my Garmin ZumoXT ( Ver. 6.40)and the Drive App (version 4.18.46) at my Apple Ipad 11 pro without any problems. The route was calculated after the transfer from my IPad to my garmin without any manual input and the track was there as well. But I handle the export different as you do. After I have exported the Route/ Track in the topmost GPX 1.1 Format I use my file browser and navigate to the download folder. The I use the share function to the Drive app. But this should not make the differences.
When I switched back to my browser some from the route line was disappeared. After a browser refresh everything was ok.

Hi Steve, thanks for your suggestion. I know this option, but then I must check each planned route at my android phone. That’s not what I have expected from this software. I need the confidence that a planned route can be used without double checking at my mobile phone.
I think there is a bug in the android navigation app.
I have an IPAD 11 Pro and that has a USB3 port. The OTG adapters are also available for the Lightning connection. The BWW normal USB cable is then connected to it.
The route must be saved as a GPX file on the IPAD and it will be stored in the download folder on the IPAD. Then copy this file to the connected Satnav to the GPX directory using the file manager of the IPad. Then eject Zumo and kick off. After the restart, the new route is offered for import. The next steps are shown in the videos of MRA.
Maybe this procedure will work for an iPhone as well.
@MjB Yes, this is possible.
Open a route. Then at the left hand side where the waypoints are shown go down to the menue item routes. Klick on it and press the add button. Then you can add temporary your other routes. The routes are displayed in different colors now.
Yes, that is possible. Open a route and go to toolkit, avoid and select or deselect your preferences.
@Mark-McDonald
Go to your route library and than tick new and select folder.
@Larry-Stayner-0 If you use the GPX 1.2 version the new calculation at the GarminXT must switched off.

For me the map is more important rather then the buttons. I use the buttons very rarely.
@Alan-k The Garmin Drivesmart 66 is an android based unit. Therefore it doesn‘t work with the connector.
Solution: Save the Route as GPX File at your desktop and copy it to your Garmin in the GPX Folder. For this task the app android file transfer is needed.
If you own an IPhone or IPad you can use the Garmin Drive App for the file transfer.
@Tony-Mitchell Myroute App is a browser application. Therefore, the operating system or the processor doesn‘t matter. The M2 processor in a MacBook Air should work.
Open your route and hit the 3 bars menue. Select information and change the transportmodus.
@Anders-5 A waypoint can be both, a shaping point or a via point. A via point is for a stop for visit this point. It can be a restaurant, a viewpoint, ore something else where you want to stop. A shaping point does wat the name says, it forms the shape of a route and ist not for a stop and must not be visited or passed.
@nick-carthew In addition here is a good startpoint for road closures in Germany:
