Navigation » tyre to travel does not work anymore

I suggest to change to MyRoute-app, the successor of Tyre. As also suggested by Tyre themselves: "MyRoute-app is the successor of Tyre. We advise new and existing users to switch to MyRoute-app even though Tyre is still being maintained."

Been using MyRoute-app since last year and very pleased about it, easy to use and send the routes to my TomTom.

I tested my-route-app as it was new, I dont like it.
I do not use the tour software on my mobile devices, I'm just too cumbersome with the thick fingers to move the small dots

Tyre on the PC is just awesome, easy to handle, more map on the screen as no browser is needed, other routes in the background possible, better print mode, to name the most important advantages.
Now with the ability to turn on seasonal closures, just perfect. Here I do not know if the app is now synonymous?

Tyre has issues with google maps they are rewriting the software to other maps.

It's more than just 'issues' in fact - it seems there's a (new ) fundamental problem to do with Google. I've been a Tyre user too, and received the following email from them this week:

⛔ PAY ATTENTION! MANY ROUTE PLANNERS WILL SOON STOP THEIR SERVICE! ⛔

Many route planners will stop, MyRoute-app will continue, now with a 30% discount!
Many route planners will discontinue!
Many current route planners that are based on Google Maps have been discontinued or will soon be discontinued. This is because from 11 June Google Maps will no longer function without the API key and an API key just costs to far much money. Tyre will keep on going, but without Google Maps, the Tyre programmer is currently working day and night to implement a different map service.

MyRoute-app will continue!
For MyRoute-app this does not pose as a problem, since right from the beginning we have had a professional and legal Google Maps API key. This in combination with the official map services of TomTom and Here (Garmin) as well as including map layers of OpenStreetMap, Michelin and Street view, makes it a pleasure to plan and share your travels with MyRoute-app.

Receive a temporary 30% discount on MyRoute-app Gold Lifetime!
We will soon be discontinuing the MyRoute-app Gold Lifetime offer and will then switch to annual subscriptions. This is to ensure that we still exist in 50 years time and will continue to innovate. To give all our loyal Tyre and MyRoute-app Basic users the opportunity to switch to MyRoute-app Gold Lifetime, we have included a enticing temporary 30% discount!

Personally, I have found Tyre the best PC-based route planner out there and have been using it for a while. For me, it's biggest limitation has always been that it's based on Google maps rather than Garmin's, and that means that the routing algorithms sometimes differ and that it's quite possible to end up with a slightly different route once you've transferred it to the Garmin unit. On the other hand, MyRouteApp (if you pay for it) lets you choose your default map (Google/TomTom/Garmin) which is way better. On the other hand, I've found MyRouteApp quite hard to get into; and even now that I have done so, for me it has a fundamental issue that if you plot a route with waypoints, then if you miss one and go 'off piste' the satnav does nothing to get you back on track, so you can get lost quite easily. I've discussed this at some length with the developers, and they say it's a 'deliberate feature' to enable you to miss out way points en route at will, without the satnav continually bleating at you to 'make a U-turn' for the rest of eternity. Definitely not convinced myself, and I'm working on it (it's all about using 'trackpoints', which is MyRoute's preference, rather than 'waypoints', which is mine - too long to go into now). It's a shame, because in every other aspect it beats Tyre hands down.

If anybody's thinking about moving to MyRouteApp, I notice that they are running a webinar today (28 June) at 7:00pm Dutch time - I've done one before; they are quite good; you also get to ask questions of the speaker.

I'm desperate.
So slowly I would like to complete my romanian tour in august, but after Tyre to Travel has to work without google maps, there is only one simple and bad map that I can not work with

Holger, I don't know if you received the same email from the 'Tyre' guys that I did this morning, but today they are saying:

"With the latest update, Tyre is back at its old level! We're proud that we accomplished this, especially after the sudden changes Google made to its terms and conditions...".

I haven't tested it!
