Building the community wishlist with brand new waypoints

Estimated Milestone Duration: 3 months

Great things in life come in threes. For the first update on the RoadMap we're implementing three very popular features from the community RoadMap survey. The Stop-and-via-points feature, together with the Enter Routepoint feature made up more than half of the final votes. The Time-processing feature has in high demand among driving instructors and professional tour guides as well as being a favorite in the RoadMap survey.

Milestone overview

Each milestone is composed out of one or more projects. These projects "block" the completion of the milestone until all projects in the milestone have been completed. For transperancy, we've identified three project types:

System Features

System features are upgrades to MRA Routeplanner that have been designed and planned by the development team.

Community Features

Community Features are upgrades to MRA Routeplanner that have been designed and voted for by the MyRoute-app community.

Internal Infrastructure

Internal Infrastructure upgrades are improvements to invisible systems and processes that increase sustainability and efficiency.

Stop and via waypoints

Stop and Via points are a familiar feature for BaseCamp users. These points allow users to define whether a route should always follow a waypoint or whether that waypoint may be ignored whilst travelling. This allows users to better shape their routes and provides flexibility on the road on Garmin navigation systems.

Improved "inbetween" waypoints

In MRA Routeplanner, you can enter waypoints inbetween existing waypoints. However, many members of the community have pointed out that this functionality needs better visibility whilst creating a route. At this time, it happens too often that users at the end of their route and not inbetween waypoints. With the improved "inbetween" waypoint adding functionality users will be presented with a user-friendly an intuitive tool that creates clear opportunities to add waypoints inbetween other waypoints.

Timed waypoints

With timed waypoints you will be able to add lunch breaks, stops and other timed events to your route. Timed waypoints allow you to adjust the arrival and departure times on individual waypoints as well as observe the duration of groups of waypoints together. This allows greater control over the effective duration of a route, as well as time-management for professional tour organizers and driving instructors.
