Rerouting around a road block whilst out riding
-
@dungbeetle assuming you were already past wp12, skipping 13 & 14 should have sent you up the green route.
-
As mentioned by @RetiredWingMan, keep the route as it is and set waypoints 13 and 14 to Skip, see red arrow screenshot and my apologies for having this menu in Dutch.
I've had similar issues on routes i edited/created, by using the Skip command/mode you can straighten out a route.

@Nomko-Nomden, for that you need the planning platform, so you would need to stop Navigation, and is hardly something you would do on the road. Besides that, it will only draw straight routelines from 12 to 13, and 13 to 14. Not exactly a solution. Besides the besides, the Navigation does not support the skipping of waypoints that way (yet). So it will still route you over WP 13

That depends where 15 is, I can't see that in the screenshot since the routeline goes both directions
Anyways: just driving up the green road would eventually lead to auto-skip WP 13, if you use that feature, and else you need to skip it manually.
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

Many thanks to all for your replies.
The ability to plot a quick diversion on the fly whilst travelling would be a great addition.

You can do that in two different ways:
- longpress any point on the map to ad it as a waypoint.
- go into the menu (3 dots) and choose "add stopover" (or whatever the second option is called in English )
In both scenarios the app will try to place the new waypoint logically between the existing ones.

@Con-Hennekens interesting that you can long press on the map to add a waypoint ... but you can't long press on the planned route to add an extra waypoint on route. That seems to be tied up or reserved for skipping waypoints.

@RetiredWingMan. indeed, I have not noticed that before. But why would you want to add a waypoint at a location you are already passing? I have not tried, but I am convinced that you can add such a waypoint through the search function though.

@Con-Hennekens my thought was that, as in the example about, to get around a blockage, you may want to skip one or more points and add a point to assist with getting around the blockage.

@RetiredWingMan, yes, but when the route is already recalculated over an alternative road, adding a waypoint to that alternative road it has already chosen is not really meaningful. Of you want to force a recalculation over a different road, that is possible given the existing features.
