MRA Routeplanner and Scenic 4.18
Quote from Oldbiker on 03.05.2025, 08:34Hello
I usually plan my routes on a Mac computer with MRA Routeplanner, which has the option of using OpenStreetMap, Tom Tom or HERE maps. Which one works best with Scenic 4.18 and gives more consistency?
BTW, what's the map provider of Scenic 4?Thanks

It’s not a problem though - if you export from MRA in GPX1.2, when you import into Scenic you’ll get the correct mapping of Vias and Stops, as well as Scenic displaying the original MRA route calculation as a blue line. You can then add Via points in Scenic to pull the route to match the MRA route if there are any discrepancies.
Be aware that Scenic will keep all MRA “hand” points and map them to Scenic Stops, but the MRA “teardrop” points will be discarded and replaced with Scenic’s own via points entered it determines they are needed to preserve the route. There will usually be far fewer Scenic Vias than the number of “teardrop” markers you had in MRA.
One good thing is that Scenic preserves the name of the start and end points that you assigned in MRA (you can’t rename start and end natively in Scenic).

Trotzdem, habe hier auf Scenic auch mal eine Planung gemacht und war verwundert, dass ich Start und vor allem Ziel nicht selbst benennen kann. Wäre doch schön, wenn dies auch noch ginge.
Ansonsten in Verbindung mit CarPlay ist die Textanzeige der POI Ziele im Hauptfenster des CP das Killerargument, was MRA (noch) nicht beherrscht.
