    @Ton-Machielsen there you have it. The app is trying to get you to the nearest waypoint, that would be nr 18. Since you know where waypoint 1 is, you've driving towards that waypoint nr 1 and meanwhile the app tries to get you to go to waypoint 18.
    The fact that your waypoints are not ON the route is not good but the aopp will disregard those of route waypoints and try to navigate as close as possible to thoes waypoints. Your problems lies in the fact that you didn't not selct waypoint 1

      Something to add to your comment.

      When waypoints are way off route/road and you're riding a route (not a track). How can MRA Navigation (or other navigation) hit those waypoints when they are not on the road or very close to the road.
      Those waypoints causes recalculations just because the waypoints are too far off-road.

      @M-Schrijver Understand. That’s why I am suggesting a radius for the waypoint hits. If you pass the waypoint within that distance the waypoint is considered as hit.

        Ahh cause found.
        You've select "start at nearest waypoint" that is Waypoint 18 in your case. Unselect this option and try again.

          @Ton-Machielsen when navigating with the nex app is will go OK. If you would use such a route in lets say an Garmin XT, you would be in great trouble.
          That's why we have and use MRA next

            @Ton-Machielsen
            There is already a radius. But this radius is limited for a reason. Point 7, 11, 12 and 16 on route shows why. It is normal practice that you do your best to place the waypoints on the road.

                      Any idea why I don’t get the waypoint hand and Skip Waypoint icon on the CarPlay? (see https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/61333)

                      Remember I am on a bike. I have the phone in my pocket and am navigating through the CarPlay device.

                            That is a sensible suggestion - agreed, but I suspect the radius must change depending on the circumstances. Roads that are close together will require a smaller radius to be drawn by MRA, so basically, the radius info would just be telling you what you know you need to do anyway - i.e. drop the waypoints 'accurately'! 😁

                              No. If you want route to be riden reliable. The route itself should be made reliable. A navigation cannot fix a badly made route.

                                Great thread, that shows the power of an "old-fashioned" forum! 💪

                                I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                                  Ok, i'll bite. Define "a badly made route".
                                  My take is that if the app shows the route i want to ride, the app should follow that route.
                                  What's your take?

                                        @M-Schrijver said in Another day MyRoute-app screwed up My Route:

                                        @Ton-Machielsen
                                        No. If you want route to be riden reliable. The route itself should be made reliable. A navigation cannot fix a badly made route.

                                        Ok, i'll bite. Define "a badly made route".
                                        My take is that if the app shows the route i want to ride, the app should follow that route.
                                        What's your take?

                                        @Ton-Machielsen not completely true. As long as you stay within MRA its by design that MRA will save the day and keep you on the route, even if the route is not made correctly like in your example. However if you wanted to use that same route in a dedicated device like a Garmin XT you would be in for a real bad day with a messed up route.

                                          @Marinus-van-Deudekom Yeah, and that's where i am struggling, apparently. I was assuming that if MyRoute-app drew the correct route, even though my waypoints are besides the road, that the app would prioritise the route over the waypoints. Which is not the case from what i experience and read.
                                          I guess i will have to either be VERY precise in where i put my waypoints or choose another app which is following a route (route app, remember, not waypoint app) instead of waypoints.
