Adjusting start point surrounding routes

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Rolf-Engelsman what you suggest is indeed not possible.

You cannot select a different starting point and let the app automatically complete the loop for you

I do think this would be a great addition!
Perhaps I can add this at some point

So I don't find it a problem, just the WP41 as Einstig in the route goes at the push of a button, then just drive the route to the end of the route, then stop briefly, stop the route in the app and finish completely. Now select again and restart this route with WP1 then continue to WP41, and already everything is just gone crazy without making a big find. Best regards

This moght seem far fetched for some, but I don't think it is. It would really be nice to be able to to start a route from let's say RP23, while making the loop until you reach RP23 again. I just wonder how that's going to go with routes that do not loop....

Then the question does not arise

New users have to get to know the app, many drivers are more relaxed and have a solution either way.

What question?
As far as I know there is no parameter to indicate a route being a loop. It can only determined by an assumption of start and finish being close to each other.

@Con-Hennekens The app should in this case simply temporarily "connect the dots" so to speak, between the initial end- and start point, as if the user would change the start point in the planner. The possibility of this resulting in a route making no sense whatsoever, is in that case up to the user and collateral damage.

[Con Hennekens]

@Stefan-Hummelink, The dots stay the same, so are the calculation parameters between them, so there will be no result that makes no sense, if the route made sense to begin with The only unknown piece, is the piece between RPlast and RP1, and in a loop those are close.

Absolutely, and exactly the contrary case, e.g. a a2b route, would result in a complete "turn around" so to speak, which imho would "make no sense" from a "riding a nice preplanned route" perspective. And that's what I meant. If a user would deliberately use this future feature onto an a2b route instead of a looping route, the consequence of having the rpLast being connected to rpStart in a fashion that would result in i.e. having to drive 200km back into the direction of rpStart is up to the user.

[Con Hennekens]

@Stefan-Hummelink, no indeed, that's exactly what I meant of course

[Corjan Meijerink]

We will include feature for this in the 5.1 release

Great to hear.

Super dat jullie diter nu in hebben verwerkt. Reeds getest en werkt zoals beloofd.
