Testing MRA Next and Android Auto

I have been using MyRoute’s Navigation app *, running routes that I’ve created myself in MyRoute’s Routeplanner. As above, it’s been faultless, whether in a car or on my motorcycle. I have given up taking my XT along for the ride.


* Including the beta test versions.
 
I know I'm answering a comment originally posted in 2023 but since this threads been resurrected by others I figured I'd add it as I don't think it's been addressed...

With regards the Zumo XT giving a more heads up view and being further zoomed out, this is something you can adjust in the MRA app under Navigation Settings | Map Layer. Very useful for getting a Garmin comparative visual. The biggest difference for me has been in reducing the thickness of the route line and increasing tilt correction to +15 to get something that matches much more closely with the XT.

It was a nice Barmy 8 Celsius here today and sunny so I thought I'd have a play with the new version of MyRoute app navigation app. 5.0.1 433 which was released about 5 days ago. This updated ver 5.0.0 426 which had a few issues particularly for older versions of Android <14 and some for Android Auto.

I was using a Motorola Edge Neo 40 with Android 15.

I had tried the new version in the car for a couple of days with no issue and loaded a route over the Antrim hills to Cushendun this morning and back via the coast a route of about 120 miles. The Hills and Glens were in dappled sunshine and the roads were empty. The bit in the Red box is the Mull of Kintyre.........oh mist rolling in from the sea :D

The app behaved itself perfectly despite me not bothering to follow the route much of the time.

Scotland is only 15miles away at this point.

Unfortunately my preferred lunching hostelry was closed. It has a fantastic collection of vintage Guinness promotional adverts in the dinning room and a lovely open fire.

The village Tearoom on the other side of the street was open. I had blackcurrant frangipane tart with cream and a cappuccino........tell me again why I had a heart attack?

Pretty little village despite the new apartments.

Then a trip down the coast home. Not much to report on the app. It works, is stable, and I like the new interface. On AA the screen is easy to navigate with the Honda left hand button cluster.
