Starting point?

[Jim O'Dowd]

Hello friends,

What is the benefit of denoting my starting waypoint as the "Starting Point"?

This may or may not be relevant to the question, but yesterday I had a problem with a custom route I created in MRA and was navigating via Android Auto on my bike. Right from the get-go, the nav wanted to u-turn me back around. So I was finally able to skip next waypoint and get back on track. It's as if the nav didn't recognize that my starting waypoint, which was my home address, had been touched, and it wanted to take me back there.

I have a big trip coming up, with 20 days of custom routes, so if there's anything I can do to avoid this happening "out there", I sure would like to know now.

Thanks,

First step: Try this: https://www.myrouteapp.com/support
Hint:
Always make the first Waypoint reachable, you cannot skip it while you ride.
Look for the Parameter when starting: First waypoint at home, next waypoint when riding the route again while on the way.
Look for that in Dokumentation

Agree with @Rainer-Treichel !

Also, make sure your start point is placed a bit further away than your actual start point. For the same reason as already mentioned.
