Route differences since new update!

[stuart marritt]

I was out at the weekend and had no plan

We popped for breakfast up the road then picked a place to go to and viewed the route before hitting navigate and thought thats not a bad route I will go for that.

Here is the route

Upon selecting the route it now gives me two options for two different routes that are nowhere near the same as the one that I had decided to go for?

See screenshots

How come routes are so different? and why am I getting options instead of the route that I had already chose to ride?

Is this a new bug since the update to the scenic route?

Thanks
Stu

@stuart-marritt Do you have recalculation turned on?If so, please turn that off. That will prevent a lot of unwanted issue's as well.

Secondly, can you post a link to that route? Maybe we can see something you might overlooked.

Cheers!

@Nomko-Nomden how will turning recalculation off help this situation?

I thought recalculation was for if you go off route?

There's a lot of discussions about recalculation having it turned on or off. If you plotted a route and you want to stick with it, turn it off. Also if you used a minimum of waypoints to plot your route, turn it off.

Recalculation is not as much for going off route, but as general a "automated" assistance to get to your destination as quick as possible. And with a short route if possible. It should take you to the nearest waypoint, but there is significant number of users who has been taken either to the starting point or to the end point skipping the rest of the route.

I have the experience that have it turned off does a better job than have it turned on. Also, turning on recalculation consumes a lot of resources of your mobile phone making it freeze or have MRA crash (which is experienced by a lot users up till now).

If you don't care about the plotted route and you want to deviate from the route, have it turned on.

That's why i also asked you to provide a link to that route so we can check and provide you with a better solution.

@Nomko-Nomden I can't send a link as it was an A to B route and not a saved one unfortunately

I have never experienced any issues with recalculations or freezing on mine though but I will give it a try and see how it goes
