Using MyRoute’s Navigation app offline

[Wapping]

This is a simple guide on how to use MyRoute’s Navigaion app in offline mode:



The only thing I do differently from Nick Carthew’s post, is that I don’t synchronise my entire library. Instead, I make a copy of the route(s) I want to use offline and synchronise only the copy. Why?

A. Because I don’t need nor want to synchronise my entire library.

B. Because that way I always have the original version of the route available, should I need it.

As someone who has just installed android auto, and is intending to follow a created route this weekend on MRA, this is perfect timing, thank you

Welcome.

I (and I know others) near enough always use the Navigation app in offline mode. Not least because my sacrificial iPhone has no SIM card.

Even so (and for those that worry about it) data usage whilst navigating online, is very low. It’ll most probably be well within the ‘Fair use’ package of most providers.

Can you remind us how to sync some routes only please? I also want an un-mucked about with copy I can reload if needed.

I still haven’t got my head around the new synchronisation tool.

I have tapped around like a demon (safe in the knowledge I can’t break anything) but I still think I must be doing something wrong.

I don’t want or need to synchronise my entire library. All I want to do is synchronise a handful of individual routes for say, a single holiday. Has anyone made a simple step-by-step guide (hopefully with screen shots, to back up the narrative) showing the process from start to finish, including how to summon up a synchronised route when off line.

Many thanks for any assistance.

Richard

The look of the Navigaion app has changed over time, but the method remains pretty much the same.


In brief:

I create a separate folder, calling it something like ‘Le Mans 2026 sync only’. Into this I put a copy of the route(s) I want to synchronise. I then synchronise the copy of the route(s) in the ‘sync only’ folder. I then synchronise each route. I still haven’t found a way to synchronise a whole folder at once, so each route has to be synchronised individually.

When you are offline, routes that a not synchronised will be listed but greyed out, as unavailable:



When offline, routes that are synchronised (mine are held in the synchronised folder) are displayed bold as useable:
