Recalculation of the route does not point to final destination.

But... why do you want to complicate things and stick to the "track" stuff?

I have no idea why people keep talking about "track": I know some of you carefully set up a route and then follow it, and that's fine.

You answered your own question: a track is an accurate representation of a planned route, not just a set of waypoints that has to be recalculated by the navigation system. It's also the best way to share a route with users of other systems/apps.

I don't tend to use MRA for A-B routes, I'll just use Apple Maps/Google Maps or the built-in navigation system of my car. If I'm driving for fun, I put in the effort to plan an enjoyable route (using MRA planner) and after that I just want to drive the calculated route (which is represented by the track), meaning I don't want my navigation system to recalculate it based on its own settings. I also don't want to have to skip waypoints if I (have to) deviate from it, I just want to be able to deviate as needed and be directed back to it after.

If you read it carefully, you will understand that I'm not asking what a track is - which I know - but why people are talking about it in this post.

Both of these program have a lot of limitations that MRA doesn't have.

Again, I'm fine whith the fact that people have their own way to use various programs, but again that's not relevant to my original post.

And by the way, MRA's ability to avoid towns, main roads, smaller roads, populated areas, etc... and still keeps me on paved roads is unmatched in any of the other navigation programs I have used and could save a lot of time and planning to those who want just a nice afternoon ride: no need to setup basecamp or Routeplanner: just set a destination 50 kms away and choose curvy roads. Give it a try: you might be surprised to discover roads you maybe didn't know existed in your surroundings!

And for me, in this roads and people tightly packed Belgium, it allowed me to go to places I didn't know I could reach without boring main roads or freeways.

I must admit I haven't tried Calimoto, because it doesn't work on Android Auto.

In the end, I wonder why MRA doesn't put more spotlight on a feature that no competitor offers, even Garmin!

But my use of the program is always to set a destination and eventually, no, almost all the time, leave the planned route at some point for one reason or another.

This is explicitly NOT the objective of navigating pre-planned scenic routes. People usually want to navigating as precisely as possible like they planned it. If you simply set a destination, and use some "allow" parameters the app will do exactly like you say from the next version on, UNLESS you decide to use curvy road options, which generates a track and the track will demand to be followed.

@ATLast since we are talking about A to B routes, what limitations do other apps have that MRA does not have? I think Google Maps and Waze are much better for simple A to B routes and provide better notification and handling of detours, traffic etc.

@ATLast Hi ATLast, in my opinion calimoto is far behind MRA. I had a calimoto subscription for some years and have canceled it. The options and, above all, the intensive further development based on user feedback at MRA are much better. So my advice - don't waste your time with calimoto - save it for your girlfriend.

Best, Axel ‍️

Hi Axel.

Thanks for your feedback.

It confirms my opinion.

@RetiredWingMan

The difference is in the options: in MRA, you can specify you want to avoid cities, populated areas, dirt roads: such options are not available in Maps or Waze (execpt dirt roads in Waze) and that makes a huge difference when you ask the program for a route.

I suggest you try: set the desired options, and check the difference between Maps/Waze and MRA.

Of course, setting part or all of these options and curvy roads won't give you the fastest route, but that's not the goal at that time.

If I need to go straight to a place, I use Maps which monitors the traffic.

There is a solution:

• Set a goal, like to choose a curve

• Track is created in the app

• Track save from V4.3.x possible

• Open route lab in the app

• Under Routes, search for the route track

• Edit route track

• Then "As route" spokes that generates WP on the route

• Route corresponds to the track
  Choose route now in the Navi App

• Start route

• and go

Recommendation:

• WP automatically skips off

• WP skips at the top right of the display, press longer, then you keep the power and decide for yourself.

• WP for diversions simply press the next suitable longer and it fits again because until there is recalculated.

Es gibt eine Lösung:

• Ziel festlegen, gerne kurvenreich wählen
• Track wird in der App erstellt
• Track speichern ab V4.3.x möglich
• Routenlabor in der App öffne
• Unter Routen den Routen-Track suchen
• Route-Track bearbeiten
• Dann „Als Route“ Speichen das erzeugt WP auf der Route
• Route entspricht dem Track

Route jetzt in der Navi App wählen

• Route starten
• und los

Empfelung:

• WP automatisch überspringt Aus
• WP überspringt am Display oben rechts länger drücken nutzen dann behält man die Macht und entscheidet selbst.
• WP bei Umleitungen einfach den nächst passenden länger drücken und schon passt es wieder weil bis dort neu berechnet wird.

Info comparison:

1. 2. 3. 4. (A to B) choose from left to right
            1.) = Route
            2.-4.) = Track
            You should know that

Info Abgleich:

1. 2. 3. 4. (A zu B) wähle von links nach rechts
            1.) = Route
            2.-4.) = Track
            Das sollte man wissen

Beispiel Track aus 4.) Aus Kurvenreich.
