the HERE map, which doesn't like to route over ferry's for some reason
The speed of a ferry is unknown (and often relatively slow) . I guess that for the route calculaiton, making a detour is always faster than taking the ferry?
@Drabslab spot on
Within the very near future we will support "shortest" routing too which is perfect for these situations. Then HERE will prefer the shorter distance (and thus the ferry). For small ferries, no scheduling information is available, causing the travel time to become infinite - then a detour will by definition be faster, no matter how long the detour is

@Drabslab Except of course it really isn't, at least not for the river crossing ferries in the Netherlands and Germany. In my experience, a crossing (+wait) rarely takes more than 10-15 minutes . Yes, you could be unlucky and see the ferry depart just as you arrive, which means a 15-20 minute wait + a 5-10 minute crossing. But even then it's hardly worth doing a potential 20 km(or more) round trip to use a bridge. Also, if this was the really the case, why do none of the other navigation options in MRA or Google do the same? Do they have information HERE doesn't? To me, this is one of the most annoying aspects of HERE.

@Corjan-Meijerink "Shortest" routing may work fine in this specific situation, but in most other situation it can be very annoying. For example, on motorways it may take you off and back on the motorway at an exit just to save 10 meters. And in towns it will send you through 30 km zones with dozens of speed bumps instead of around on the main road to save 500m, but adding 5-10 minutes of annoying driving in the process.
I can't see many situations (other than this specific one to work around a defect in HERE's algorithm) in which "shortest" routing is useful.

@Herko-ter-Horst "shortest" routing is more intelligent than just that
It does make certain tradeoffs.Route calculation from start to destination disregarding any speed information. In this mode, the distance of the route is minimized, while keeping the route sensible. This includes, for example, penalizing turns. Because of that, the resulting route will not necessarily be the one with minimal distance.
Meaning that

I should be able to find back a practical example where this did occur (but before Next).
A river with a road on both sides, and regular bridges crossing it. Depending on the meandering of the river, the navigation sent me over each bridge
but there will always be exceptions where the automated calcualtions don't work. That is why the human effort preparing and planning the route remains important (thank the gods for that
). -
@Drabslab agree. Do not that MRA has not ever yet supported "shortest" mode - so all MRA related examples will be fastest by default.
@Herko-ter-Horst Fun thing to now, TomTom actually has another mode: "short". So their "shortest" mode is just as HERE - tries to keep a sensible.
Their "short" mode however enforces shortest distances over sensible roads.shortest: Route calculation is optimized by travel distance, while keeping the routes sensible. For example, straight routes are preferred over those incurring turns.
short: Route calculation is optimized such that a good compromise between small travel time and short travel distance is achieved.

@Corjan-Meijerink Suggestion: it would be cool if we could mix the different preferences (fastest, shortest (, offroad)) in 1 route. That is also possible in Basecamp
Then we only have to set it to “shortest” at the crossing and we can leave the rest of the route on “fastest”. -
@Gerard-Wullink The isn't with MRA itself, but with the HERE map, which doesn't like to route over ferry's for some reason. The work-around is to set a routepoint on both sides of the crossing and then set the one on the "far" side to "Skip".
@Herko-ter-Horst "I deliberately added two points at both banks of the river and mark No. 192 (see picture) as Skip (Overslaan)". That what youn mean or am I wrong?

Still the routing goes over the bridge....

@Gerard-Wullink
That's correct unfortunately.
The "Skip" is only functional in the planner not in Navigation.
