Odd MRA treatment of last shaping point
-
Warning: Lots of Garmin content.
I recently began experimenting with MRA as a backup route planner while on trips. Up to this point I have used Garmin BaseCamp exclusively and I am very comfortable with its operation.
For practice I created a local route on MRA (Basic subscription) using only shaping points and sent it to the Zumo via the Garmin Drive app. Oddly, the Zumo preview showed the last shaping point as a flag as though it was a via point. As a check I saved the route as .gpx 1.1 in MRA, imported it into BaseCamp, and sent it to the Zumo via USB. Once imported by the Zumo, that same shaping point showed properly. Any thoughts as to what's different about MRA? See the screen captures below.
