    Hey. I did a route from Thame to Norther Luffenham today with a waypoint at Super Sausage. So 3 waypoints in total. I did avoid highways. The route kept trying to take down random diversions such as side roads on the way then routing back to main road. What am I doing wrong?

      @Simon-Bradford It's quite possible that the navigation engine thinks it has found a better route along the way! Since you only provided one waypoint (waypoint 2), MRA will choose the best route between 1 and 2 and between 2 and 3 while you're driving. You need to use as many points as necessary to make sure you follow the route you want to take. Having just one point on that route is simply not enough. I place at least one waypoint on every road I want to drive on. I think having between 10 and 20 waypoints for this route would be perfectly acceptable.

        @Rob-Verhoeff I did wonder but the routing would route me down a side road then back on itself to the original route. I took a screenshot to share but somehow can’t upload pics to my post.

          the description does not sound like MRA is finding quicker routes.
          I have had a similar problem, as described, on Tom Tom, but not MRA.

            @Simon-Bradford @Tony-13 Fact stays that only one waypoint in a route of appr. 150km is way to little!

              @Rob-Verhoeff I wanted to try with fewer waypoints. Doesn’t explain why it wants to divert down a side road and then continue of original journey.

                @Simon-Bradford I think it's due to a lack of waypoints, causing the navigation engine to become confused as well.

                  @Simon-Bradford said in App keeps trying to send me on random side routes.:

                  I took a screenshot to share but somehow can’t upload pics to my post.

                  Just use Copy/Paste on any Windows machine, or the small Picture Icon:

                  f43209fc-7bb8-463e-9be1-8b334ac1430d-image.png

                  I checked your route and it is in HERE, but is it possible that it was OSM originally? Routes made in OSM and navigated in HERE (the MRA Navigation app) tend to show the behaviour you describe.

                  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.

                      @Simon-Bradford, it almost looks like there is a sneaky waypoint in the route behind the blue instruction panel... I have no clue why this happens, but a lack of waypoints is not it for sure!
