2010 Honda Deauville. (Yes the Dullville)

Great first bike, very comfortable and practical bike but not a great looker.

@Purrrist

No complaints from me with the current visual functionality.
Take the Route Lab page as an example.
From that single page I can access everything I need, with regards to creating, planning or editing routes.
I can select any of the last 8 routes I edited with 1 click.
Upload a route a couple of clicks and its uploaded.
The big square buttons are perfect for those of us that use iPads and prefer to use a browser rather than the App.
New Route, 1 click name it and I’m creating.

And if I need to jump elsewhere everything is available from the top level single click buttons.

@Tim-Thompson

Regarding the colour palette I think too many colours would just diminish the experience and confuse users.
In my opinion the current MRA palette gives a clear distinction of the categories that each colour represents.

The Hooligan Taming the Lions.
2015 Yamaha MT09. (Purchased S/H Aug 26 2017)

This is my favourite photo opportunity, Headley Hall.
Once the home of the legend, Sir Malcolm Campbell, of Bluebird fame And Land Speed Records.

Packing for the Pico’s

Kriega US30, 2 x Kriega US 20, Redverz Attacama Tent, Helinox Chair and Helinox Table.
It made a fantastic back rest but required sinching down quite often.

Bardinas Reales.

Ah! We sleep together.

Cornwall 5 day Tour taking in the whole of Cornwall’s coast line.

The 2015 Yamaha MT09 is indeed a Hooligan.
The 2015 model only had ABS no traction control.
In A mode the throttle is very snatchy and keeping the front wheel on the ground can be a problem.
The rear suspension is a bit wishy washy and can sometimes get you into trouble also.
Standard mode is quick enough for me to be honest and B Mode is definitely required if its raining as its very easy to spin up the rear in the wet.
The standard seat is a “plank” particularly if you are a skinny fella like me with not a lot of “meat” in that area.
I immediately got the seat refoamed at West Sussex Motorcycles.
Had to haggle a lot on the price for this as it was registered in 2016 and the dealer had it listed as a 2016 model which it was not.
In the build up to the release of the 2016 model, Yamaha started throwing in the Akro exhaust for free to try to shift the last of the 2015 models.
I made the dealer aware of all this and we came to an acceptable price.
The Akro sounds beautiful on this on the overrun and the gurgles and pops brings a smile to may face every time.

Summary: Fantastic Hooligan bike with a few dodgy foibles like the rear suspension and the snatchy throttle in A mode.

Honda CRF 250 Rally and Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro to be added at a later date.

Merry Christmas everyone and lets hope 2021 allows more freedom to ride.

There are times when arrival time is critical, for ferries etc.
For me though, 99% of the time there is no time, just the joy of the journey.
I hope therefore that we are not “forced” to enter times and they can be left blank however many options there are?

I think you misunderstood my post.
I was saying that users should be able to post in there own language.

Hi All,

It looks like the issue regarding the last Shaping point to the Chequered flag being a straight line is now resolved using the GPX 1.1 Beta export on my iPad Pro.

I have made a route Public called Mendip TT that transfers to the Garmin XT Trip Planner perfectly now.

I personally never use Via Points but I also added one in a copy of the Mendip TT file and this transfers to the Garmin XT Trip Planner perfectly as well.
Mendip TT with Via Point is also public.

Thank you Catalina.

“Lifetime” is a classic marketing/legal term that very rarely means what you think it means.

I would take a guess that 85-90% of the MRA Navigation subscribers are 35 and over, so in this instance its a bloody good offer in my opinion.

Personally I’ll be swapping my Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro for a Zimmer frame long before my “Lifetime” Navigation sub runs out.

I think I’ll go for the Carbon Overland adventure version when the time comes.

D) For that maybe it is needed to up the arrow a bit, but if the street you are driving into is named on the map instead of in a very big blue area, probably not needed at all.

I disagree that the Bike Location Icon should be moved up.
As someone who is only ever going to use Portrait mode, I would want to see as much of the road ahead as possible, particularly when I’m on twisty country lanes, my preferred type of roads to travel on.
Being able to see the severity of the curves ahead allows for better forward planning which is always a good option to have IMO.

@Drabslab

And I should probably declare that in my younger years I was a Microsoft Flight Simulator fanboy, but for me it was all about the helicopters.
I was obsessed with the Apache AH64 Longbow.

@Drabslab

As a lot of people seem keen on it, I do hope it is deployed.

@Con-Hennekens

For Off-Road MRA have already given us the ability to plot Off Road Routes using Route-Tracks in MyRoute-App Mobile.

It works exactly the same as on my Garmin XT.
There are no turn by turn notifications you just visually follow the track.

Personally I would use the Map and the Track rather than the HUD style graphics.
My only request at a much later date in the Next cycle would be the ability to add multiple route-tracks onto the map.
The XT can handle that already with Collections.

@Kemal-0

Welcome to the forum.
You are definitely in the right place.
MyRoute-App has the biggest library of routes and tours available, all created by the MRA RouteXperts.
Of course you could create your own.

Good choice of bike to hire also.
Check out the library.

@Jabp

The problem I see with this is the fact that it is intrinsically designed as a HUD where the info is always in direct sight beamed onto the HUD.

A mobile phone however, for many, may be placed to the left or the right on handlebars.
As far as the TTG’s are concerned, are users really expected to watch that visual countdown rather than keeping their eyes on the road ahead.
When approaching a turn I have briefly checked the distance once and then my eyes are continuously on the road, on approach to the turn, through the turn and out of the turn.

Generally when I glance at the phone (or my XT) I am looking for a single piece of information and I know exactly where that info is on the screen.

If this gets implemented, that’s fine, but it’s not something I would ever want to use.

@Tim-Thompson

Apologies Tim.

@sudolea

Yep I agree Honda make bullet proof engines.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master

On the XT the only info I use is the data below.
All of which will probably be available in MRA Next anyway.
