automatic tracklog

I have set "automatically start tracklog" under the navigation settings. However, when using Apple CarPlay, nothing is logged during navigation, and nothing is saved when stopping. Why can't it be set so that the track is automatically logged every time the app is used in CarPlay?

@Ralf-Zimmerningkat The tracklog is only started for scenic or created routes. Not for A to B navigation.

@Ralf-Zimmerningkat Deliberate choice.
Our users do not tend to be interested in automatic keeping track of AB routes
Starting / stopping a tracklog from CarPlay is something that will be added in a future update.

@Ralf-Zimmerningkat, why would a plain A2B route be interesting enough to track?

I want to track and record all rides when the app is running.
There can always be interesting routes. -

Will this be added to Android Auto as well ?
Thanks ! -
Because of the winterseason it has been a while i used MRA.
Last season i've noticed a few times that the tracklog did not start when selecting a route direct in Android Auto.When start a route on the phone and then connect to Android Auto. The tracklog works fine.

I'm talking about preplanned routes, not A to B -

Thanks !@Adrian-Avram Yes! We tend to keep CarPlay and Android Auto in sync.
I just don't feel like constantly mentioning both

Sometimes i just go out for a ride (not even a planned route or a simple A-to-B roite, jujst riding) and find myself ending up on a stretch of road which looks very interesting but can't exactly remember were it was afterwards. So tracklogging a route would be very helpful to find it back!
I had a try this korning when i drove to my work and automatic tracklog will not start by just a plain A to B route.
And what's the big deal not having it tracked automaticaaly? It's just 1 push on a button to have tracklogging working...

I have a support ticket still open for this. When I start the route the tracking will only start when you start the route on your phone. Not when you open it on AA. When you have a stop and resume your route, you again have to open the app first before the tracking resumes. Also when you, during the stop, didn't pause the app on your phone.

Most people use A2B for driving... uhm... A2B. It's irritating having to throw away a recorded track each time.EDIT:
By the way, are you aware that you can also manually start tracking without an active route? -

As I already mentioned, I use tracking more to trace back where I have been and where all those beautiful roads can be found so that I can later put it all back into 1 big route.

@Nomko-Nomden, That I certainly can understand.

Today I did a test with track navigation with MRA version 4.3.7 via CarPlay. No automatic tracklog was started. -

No automatic tracklog was started.@KeesV, in the app-menu: "Navigation settings - Functional - Start tracklog automatically" needs te be enabled. After that, tracking of routes and tracks should be started automatically. For straight A to B routes, tracklog will not be started automatically, because those are considered not scenic and therefore not interesting enough for tracking.

I can confirm that there seems to be an issue when running the app completely without ever starting the app.
We will be fixing this issue. However, there currently is a more pressing issue
