[@neilevans3084]

Hi Richy. Been using MRA Gold for years now for our tours. It’s brilliant and the guys keep developing it. Bikings best kept secret.

[@RichyVida]

Yep it’s great. Really like the Next app too

[@Wats1984]

Nice to see the peaks again! Makes me realise I’m due a trip up! Thanks!🙏

[@Fractal379]

Great job, Richy. I knew seeing a new post from you would be refreshing . Think I'm a bike vid addict... Thanks for bringing The Green Book back to recollection - Well said, I hope your back gets properly sorted.

[@specter929]

the Green Book is a fantastic film - I bought the next lifetime when you did your video of my route app getting gpx into your nav as it was available then. the app itself has come along nice though

[@davewash50]

A different video Rich. Like being a passenger with you guys. Brilliant!! Thank you👍

[@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE]

Great vid rich always a pleasure spending time with you buddy 👍🏻👍🏻

[@RichyVida]

Likewise, mate 👍

[@weblefeck]

Bloody glass back 😆 the truck did all the grunt work 🤦😆😆

[@EmeraldExplorer1200]

A friend of mine has been using the MRA app for years, he does loads of tours both in the UK and abroad. He swears by it

[@cartzwheels]

Learnt that from the first ever wildbad weekender with you. Always Carry a pack of ibuprofen on the bike 😂🤣 Great vid Richy, you can’t beat a lazy relaxed ride.

[@RichyVida]

Oh what happened? Can’t remember

[@cartzwheels]

@@RichyVida had a lot to do with alcohol but we didn’t have any so now there is always a pack on the bike so I’m never left without again 😂

[@thewoodster8607]

I've had MRA Gold for three years. It's great and keeps getting better and better. The Android Auto integration isn't quite there yet but it's getting there.

[@johngittins6244]

Could have been one of those you tube vids when things go wrong there for a second. Pulling a tree down with a pickup and the axle flies off ! 😂

[@RichyVida]

Haha

[@mum-0217]

Great to see the Aoocci software in action I remember you using this in a previous video and showing the front and rear dash cam recording facility. It can be a bit complicated when trying to find the best route planning software but this seems to do it all. I was wandering if you pay the app and subscription in full would this also cover European trips?

[@RichyVida]

MRA you mean? Yeas it’ll cover Europe 👍

[@denismustafa4225]

Hey Richy, lay down flat on the floor, stretch your arm behind your head and point your toes towards you head. Stay like that for 1 to 2mins each time and resting in between. It normally helps me as I also have a back that locks now and then. Its probably all the work filling up the skip that has caught up on you.

[@Smiles_per_gallon01]

Hi Richy another great vlog. I'm 100% coming to the wildbad 25 and looking forward to having a nice pint with some like minded people. I'm watching for the dated so I can book and book the time off work, I've already cleared it with Mrs Smiles. Ride safe mr.

If you have cut that tree up with a hand saw, I'm not surprised your backs bad. I hope you got it sorted 🤞, great vlog,enjoy no 3 picos 🏍👍

[@RichyVida]

It’s still sat where I left it down the garden! Ha

[@ExeterCenturion]

Impressed you have a garden big enough to fit an F1 race track in

[@RichyVida]

Not quite, but you’d get one or two tents in it 👍

[@wallaceshackleton1889]

I am very interested in a Car Play navigation for my bike, however the one thing that I have fallen foul of on my two European adventures is losing phone netowrk connectivity as I have crossed a country's borders. It took me two days to figure out how to get back onto the O2 German network. You may not have that problem but then again, chaging from say O2 UK and O2 Spain may be an issue.

[@RichyVida]

Your phone should do this automatically? Unless you have have the auto network rirned off.. 🤷‍♂️

[@davidberry2410]

Ok thanks mate, have a safe trip

[@bikerbuddy3166]

So I’ve downloaded the app but how do I get it onto google maps , I’m trying to use it for route planning a press event and want to put route into every car any help most appreciated

[@RichyVida]

Whilst you’re planning it online, check tools on top right. Select HERE maps as main and then Google maps as overlay. Nice and familiar. Once you’re done, it’ll already be in your “Routes” on your phone app..

[@remon8951]

I’ve got lifetime. I bought it when it was still in testing. I find it super but nog all the time sometimes it crashes or it can’t recalculate the route when ride the wrong way. The app does work perfect on apple CarPlay. Also the use of the buttons from the twin works nice.

[@Crsf84]

Watching this sitting on the pont aven and also left for Spain with a bad back, Unfortunately had to cut the trip short for work reasons. I used cali moto this time and didn’t like it, Every other European trip I’ve done in recent years I’ve used the bmw connected app and find it way better imo than cali. Enjoy Spain the 612 is a shambles today and the rain is relentless.

[@RichyVida]

Has the weather has been very unsettled this season. It is what it is I guess. Hope your back sorted itself 👍

[@Crsf84]

[@davidberry2410]

Rich, do you know how to “enter a route” at nearest location on my route app ? Instead of it directing you to the start of a pre planned route? Cheers

[@davidberry2410]

Like the XT does basically..

[@RichyVida]

Not yet, David. I’ll know after this tour, I’m sure. If anyone else can shed any light on this, please feel free to jump in. Thank you!

[@davidberry2410]

@@RichyVida update on 10th September my MRI seems to include “start from nearest waypoint” FYI 👍🙏

[@johankolver9272]

Hey Richy, hope your back is sorted now! Possibly a stupid question... why MRA and not just google maps through the app on your phone? I have never used MRA and don't understand why you would pay for navigation? Thank you, J

[@RichyVida]

Hi J MRA is just a more comprehensive route planner, rather than just maps. Waypoints, shaping points etc.. Google Maps is fantastic, and although it will do multi-point routes, it is more of a point A to B kind of planner.

[@johankolver9272]

​@RichyVida , thank you sir!
