Mucus72 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hello POBC,Today the club went "live" with the new Blat Maps route planning and mapping solution, and there is an article in LF to accompany the changes. All existing routes have been uploaded, so we have not lost anything.We are due to receive a video to "enable" members, but there has been a slight delay with this. its mentioned in the article, but you will not find it anywhere.What we'd like to do is give you a few pointers:1. When you got into L7C you gain access to this capability, you have to be a club member to do so.2. When you click through onto a route and select "route details" you will be taken to a Lotus 7 Club page on the MyRouteApp website and you will need to click on either of their two buttons to "participate"3. Set up an account with them (free of charge)4. Our admin team get notified and we then connect your account to ours by "approving" you5. When you then go back to the Blat Maps section, you will gain full access to the routes6. You can "save" to a Satnav device, or "export" to a file format of your choice, or even "USE ROUTE" which moves a copy of the club route into your personal MyRouteApp account for you to edit or do what you want with.More advanced tips to follow on creating routes and sharing them back with the L7C group, but let's get playing with it first, whilst we are waiting for the video from the MyRouteApp developers.ThanksMarcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 We've been trying to use MRA to share routes for a while - I hope the club has more success than some of us have had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Whitley Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 We = ReHaB.MRA seems to be just what we want but actually using it drove me to distraction. Despite (or perhaps because?) me being a software engineer. Other ReHaBers including our "Blatmeister" swear by it (rather than at it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 We (Kent 7s) and various sub-trips have used MRA to share routes with great success. You can choose who to share with by setting up separate "groups" for each trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucus72 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Once you’ve clicked on a route in blat maps and clicked on “participate”, blat map admins connect your request to club membership. Next time you click on a route in blat maps, you get immediate access to the L7C group within MRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucus72 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Admins are monitoring participate requests regularly, but you may experience a small delay as it’s the only non-automated step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucus72 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Oh and the other update requested is that distances show in miles and not default to km. Work in progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smnicolson Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 HelloIt looks good and will be even better if everyone puts some of their favourite local blats on.It says 28 days free trial when i've joined it. Is there an ongoing cost after that or is that just for the gold pack? Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 17, 2018 Support Team Share Posted August 17, 2018 Cost is just for Gold - you can continue to use the basic membership for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 20, 2018 Support Team Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi ChristopheC - I can't see a request from you to join the L7C group - perhaps try requesting again.Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucus72 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi Christophe,If you created your MyRouteApp account from our BlatMaps page (within Guides section), then when you click on "participate" you either register and we receive your registration and accept you into the private group, or you log in to your existing MyRouteApp account and we do the same thing.If you "just" have a standalone MyRouteApp account, then you have to go through this process to "join" the L7C group and the routes within.

ChristopheC Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thank you for your help. I tried to log in with my email and password on myroute-app. Their system tells me that my account is not yet activated by replying to their email. I have checked thoroughly in my mailbox and I haven't received an email. I have then selected the option to send again this activation email but my mailbox remains empty... no trace from their activation email.... strangeMaybe I should try with another email...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 21, 2018 Support Team Share Posted August 21, 2018 The Blatmaps page is now updated to show distances in miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucus72 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Very odd Christophe. We know that things are working Ok at our end, as our small team of admins is accepting requests to join the Lotus7Club group through our pages every day. I'm out of suggestions other than the activation email is in your spam/junk folder, or you typed it in incorrectly ;)If no luck, I think your suggestion of trying another one of your email addresses would be the way forward...ThanksMarcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopheC Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I tried from another computer and I have received the activation email.. My request for the L7C should now be sent...Thank youEDIT : I am in, great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
