First off, the problem has nothing to do with your Carpuride, which simply displays what is on your phone.

MyRoute’s Navigation app will work on a phone with or without a SIM card and with or without the internet. BUT…. Here’s the catch.

WITHOUT the internet, in order to summon up a return (or indeed any) route, you need to have saved (downloaded) the route and its associated map(s) to your phone. Do that. Then summon up the route, run it and display on the Carpuride at leisure.

Thank you, I understand carpuride is not the fault, it's me.
The route was on my mra,please explain "associated maps"
Also on the routes screen not all my routes that are on my mra showed on the mra app on the carpuride?

As with any GPS device, MyRoute’s Navigation app relies on maps in order to display a route.

Unlike, say, a Garmin device, where the maps are held on the device or on a PC, MyRoute’s maps live on the Cloud. When you enter your account on MyRoute, the internet connection is made. The bespoke routes you create and maps, all live and are saved, not on your phone or PC, they are away on the Cloud. Hence, you need the internet to connect with them.

You can download the routes and the maps onto your phones via the app. It’s a good thing to do, as the phone can then run the routes and you’ll be able to create new routes, on your phone, with no internet connection. And, maybe more importantly, run the route(s) on your phone in offline mode ie. with no phone signal and no internet connection.

Also on the routes screen not all my routes that are on my mra showed on the mra app on the carpuride?

I’ll leave your second question to someone familiar with the Carpure device.

PS It’s a good idea to ask different questions in a fresh thread. It keeps things on track. Otherwise you are all but thread hijacking yourself.

Excellent.

Now you’ve done that bit, download a route. Then put your phone into aeroplane mode, with the WiFi and phone signal turned off. Then summon up the route that you have downloaded. It should run and, more importantly, be navigable.

You can set the app to offline, too. Providing you have downloaded the maps and the route(s) it will run all day, negating any sudden loss of phone signal. I leave the app ‘offline’ by default, for exactly that reason, made necessary if nothing else, as my sacrificial phone has no SIM card.

EDIT: The following will be true next week when the public version updates to 4.3. I jumped the gun a bit as I’d lost track of the date.

You can make MRA automatically synchronise all your routes so they’re available offline automatically, or individually if you prefer (there’s no harm in synchronising everything as they take up trivial amounts of storage on your phone)

From the main page, click on “Routes”. It’s then in the menu at top right corner (I’m on iOS)

Indeed, the automatic integration between the app and the cloud based ‘mother’ continues apace.

Thank you both for your replies very helpful
