    I have been using MRA for several years now and the Navigation Next app since its release. I use the app for routes several times a week normally 300 to 500 Kms. In general the app works entirely as expected with te occasional glitch. The other day I started out and deviated from the planned route early due to traffic. The app recalculated a couple of times and then it skipped a future waypoint. I find this strange because it was still on the planned route and had not been bypassed. Why should it be skipped?

    Once when stopped and I had stopped Navigation, when I restarted the route restarted from WP 1. Once I noticed the error I simply displayed the route and restarted from the next WP. This may have been caused by something I did.

    I am very happy with MyRoute-app and MyRouteApp.com. looking forward to a revamp of the web site. GREAT WORK!

      Hi @RetiredWingMan
      @Con-Hennekens can probably explain this better & will correct my errors 😂

      my understanding is that if you deviate from the route, MRA will attempt to get you back on your route by recalculating a path back to your route
      if you do get back on the original route all is good & you can continue on your merry way

      the issue you are seeing occurs when you fail to get back on the original route
      I believe the auto Skip point function is activated after 3 recalculation attempts have failed or are ignored
      i.e. your not back on the original route after MRA has tried to get you there by 3 recalculations,
      MRA will then Skip a point & recalculate to the next point

      If you are still off route & it continues to keep doing recalculations it also starts Skipping further future waypoints
      stay off route & more & more future shaping waypoints are Skipped, it wont skip a Via point

      IMO it is a very crude & clunky method for handling deviations from the route but it is what it is

        I understand what your saying but I don't think it should skip a future waypoint that is on the recalculated route. It makes no sense to skip it.

          Workaround:
          Skip waypoints OFF
          But you have to skip skipped waypoints manually.

            @RetiredWingMan I am agreeing with you
            On other threads it has been suggested that instead of this crude & clunky skip method they adopt a scheme similar to the TomTom where after a deviation instead of trying to route back to a waypoint, it routes back to the closest point on the original path
            Only after your back on the original path then worry about where you are in relation to waypoints & implement a skip for those that have been passed

            This TomTom re-routing requires a more complex algorithm to calculate back to the path compared to just routing to the next known waypoint (plus tomtom has the advantage that it is also navigating a track so has a lot more points to choose from)
            It appears to me MRA have opted for the simplest option of routing to the next waypoint instead of the path & the consequence of this is they have to implement this clunky skip routine which we all occasional see as a pain
