Expand

[Martin Woodford]

I've had two problems lately using the expand function.
I created one long route which I then broke into smaller, day sized rides using the split function. I then expanded the number of waypoints in the split routes. On multiple occasions MRA added higher numbered waypoints between the lower numbered ones which had been part of my original planning. This had the effect of making the routes hundreds of kms longer than they were originally and me going back and forth on myself - luckily I saw the problem before I actually set out to ride the routes. On another occassion MRA added a waypoint on an overbridge above the route I planned, this time I didn't notice it before hand and I started out on a wild goose chase before I realised what had happened.

@Martin-Woodford To prevent MRA from placing waypoints at the end of the waypoint list, you need to be careful where you place the new waypoint.

Make sure you place the new waypoint close to an existing one and exactly on the line; this will ensure it is placed in the correct order and numbered correctly.

You can then move this new waypoint to the desired location.

To avoid taking detours due to incorrectly placed waypoints, it is advisable to check all waypoints after planning your route; it is also advisable to zoom in as far as possible to see whether the waypoint is placed on the road or next to it.

Please also ensure that you never place waypoints too close to junctions or roundabouts.
