    MyRoute-app (v4.0.2 - 203)

    • Lifetime subscriber to the route planner and the navigation app.
    • Online navigation

    'Skip waypoints automatically' is toggled on in the Functional menu, however it never automatically skips, and I have to tap on the waypoint area and click Skip.

    I understand Viapoints (hand icon) donโ€™t skip and has to be manually skipped, but I assumed that shaping points should skip to the next if they're missed?

    I had a route planned with 60 shaping points, after passing point 30, I decided to take a different way home, after missing shaping point 31, I expected the app to recalculate to the next point, and keep on doing so until my actual route home rejoined/cross pathed the navigation route.

    However it didn't do this, instead, it kept routing me back to point 31, even when I got to point 59 (98 miles away) it kept routing me to go back to point 31. When I eventually clicked skip waypoint 31, I was expecting it to readjust to where I am now (point 59), but to my surprise, it then routed me all the way back to shaping point 32. I had to click Skip waypoint nearly 30 times for it to catchup to where I was โ€” no automatic skipping in sight.

      @Rajp In this post, you'll find some explanation about the algorithm for automatically skipping waypoints.

      You've to scroll down a bit to Corjan's post.

        @Rajp Not a solution, but a useful work-around - you can long press on any waypoint on the map to skip straight to that one.

          @Rob-Verhoeff Got it thanks, will need to check, but I'm sure I deviated more than 20km away from shaping point 31 when I decided to take alternative route, which now makes sense why it didn't auto skip.

          Thanks

              @Rajp That is indeed the security measure to ensure the app doesn't simply start skipping waypoints without reason ๐Ÿ™‚ I understand not ideal in your situation but when riding routes with waypoints, it makes sense. If you deviate from your route to go to a gas station 25km before your next waypoint, it would be annoying if it just starts skipping and skipping and next waypoints.

                For me as an Android Auto user, Autoskip is important. I cannot press the skip button because my phone is in a bag or trunkcase.
                I understand @Corjan-Meijerink his explanation but for Android Auto it is not enough.
                If you deviate from your route for whatever reason, the app should be intelligent enough to navigate you back to the closest point of the original route (not a wayoint of shaping point) . If skipping a point (especially a shaping point) is neccesary, then it should do it automaticly. A message that one or more points were skipped is nice but no question should be needed.
                Not autoskipping Waypoint is imho understandable. Because there is a reason why it is a waypoint and not a shaping point.

                (I use MRA Next only on Android Auto. Every comment, suggestion, etc will be based on my usage with Android Auto)

                  @M-Schrijver we will definitely support skipping from Android Auto in the future too! ๐Ÿ™‚

                      @BTC-Biker, How do you figure it does not do that?

                      I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
