"Route as Track" wird nicht wie geplant navigiert

[Martin Wilcke]

@Jörgen

Ich weiß genau, was du meinst. Das ist wie früher, wo man eine hochwertige Papierkarte hatte und darauf eine Linie eingemalt hat. Das mache ich heute manchmal auch noch so, nur digital. Da brauche ich dann nur eine Software, die meine gemalte Linie auf die Straßen einrastet (oder manchmal eben auch nicht). Das ist für mich dann Trackplanung und da brauche ich überhaupt keine Routing Engine.

Manchmal liegt mein Fokus aber auf POIs, die ich ansteuern will, und den Weg dazwischen lasse ich mir durch eine gute Routen Engine ermitteln, wobei ich meine Präferenzen über Optionen einstellen kann. Das ist für mich dann Routenplanung. Ich dem Fall erwarte ich aber auch, dass die Routen Engine gut funktioniert und die Optionen halbwegs nachvollziehbar sind, sonst wird das ein Lottospiel. Und vor allem erwarte ich, dass ich die geplante Route dann auch so navigieren kann, wie ich mir das bei der Planung vorgestellt habe. Und genau das funktioniert mit OSM in MRA leider überhaupt nicht gut, das geht in anderen Apps erheblich besser.

Mein Eindruck ist, dass sich MRA immer mehr auf HERE konzentriert und möglicherweise für die Routenerstellung für Wohnmobile / Camper optimiert wird. Wir werden sehen, welche Möglichkeiten der neue Webplaner bietet und vor allem, wie das dann mit der Navigation zusammenspielt.

@Martin-Wilcke : Hey Martin,
versuche es mal mit der GuRu Maps - App, nach etwas einarbeiten kannst Du dem Track knallhart folgen bzw. die Route wählen … geht auch sehr gut mit der Remotek One zusammen zu bedienen. VG

@Hubert-Thoring
Danke für den Tipp!

Es gibt einige gute Trackplanung-Apps, hauptsächlich aus dem Bereich hiking & biking, die auch Planungen für Motorrad/Auto ermöglichen. Hier ist Locus Maps mein Favorit; unter anderem auch deshalb, weil es einen recht guten WebPlaner bietet.

MRA ist für mich eine klassische Routenplanungs-App, also eher in Konkurrenz zu Kurviger & Co.

I did not read the full thread and did not test anything concerning this, but want to give these tips:

• When a route that has the OSM (or TT) map set as basemap is opened in NN, it will always be opened as track, so there is no route recalculation on basis of the HERE map (but of course a track calculation is done, but distances between trackpoints cannot lead to these kind of differences).
• could it be possible when you still have the compare to HERE function active, a save from the webplanner leads to a route based on HERE instead of the basemap? Maybe that's the difference. I never saw anything like this, but I seldomly use compare functions. This might explain perhaps.

@Con-Hennekens

Thanks for your hints!

It's not about comparing OSM and HERE or any other interaction between them; it's a pure OSM issue.

Here are three simple steps for a check:

• open and use this route; the goal is to avoid the A7 Motorway
  https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/route/12968571?mode=share

• turn on Toolkit > Curves > Average. The route line changes accordingly; however, if you open this route for navigation, the A7 is used anyway

• turn off Curves > Average and set Avoid > Highway instead. This works as expected when opening for navigation

[Con Hennekens]

@Martin-Wilcke, Yes I see what you mean... Funny thing is that when you use TomTom instead of OSM for your curvy route, things work as expected

There IS a route calculated with HERE based on and on top of the OSM route. It's one of the features I love about MRA: You can navigate an OSM and a HERE route at the same time and always choose which one to follow. Super handy if you want to navigate routes and tracks that aren't in HERE.

Here is another example, have a look at the white and blue lines:

@Martin-Wilcke, You are never navigating on an OSM map, Navigation ONLY uses the HERE map. The difference in your screenshot is something that should not happen, en it does not happen with the TT map for example. In my opinion something goes wrong with opening a OSM based route on the HERE map. It looks to me that the trackconversion loses way too much resolution when exported from OSM.

[Hubert Thoring]

The maps differ from each other, and where OSM or Michelin is more accurate, HERE has not found a road, at least in the example.

Michelin

OSM

HERE

Yes, you're right. "Navigating" in terms of getting additional information, such as TBT instructions, is always based on a route calculated with HERE.
I meant "navigating" in a wider sense: when I come to a point where the lines diverge, I can choose to follow the blue line (with instructions) or the white line (on sight).

The difference in your screenshot is something that should not happen, en it does not happen with the TT map for example.

What exactly do you mean? If it's the separation on both lines in pic 2 around WP 3 & 4, it also happens when using TT instead of OSM. If I change the "Basemap" to TT in this example, the result is the same. Even if I export this route, re-import it as a route-track and start track navigation, it looks the same.

But this leads to another question: I always thought I'd only get both lines if I used "Routes as track," but I've now learned that's not necessary at all.
Can you explain the difference between starting navigation with or without "Routes as track" in this example? Is it just a matter of how, during a recalculation (when I deviate from the blue line), the route (blue line) leads back onto the track (white line)?

[Martin Wilcke]

@Hubert-Thoring

Exactly. That's why I use OSM for planning when I want to route tracks that aren't in HERE. I used this a lot, and it always worked. It's like having a "tarmac-based backup" at hand when things go wrong on the track

You are already free to make that choice yourself, aren't you?

@Martin-Wilcke said in "Route as Track" wird nicht wie geplant navigiert:

it also happens when using TT instead of OSM

No, I tested your file, and with TT as basemap it loads just like it is, and does not lead me over A7. It just chooses a different curvy (tomtom) path, but leaves it intact when navigating.

That's a misconception. The white line just represents the original route or track. If you look at your example from message 26:

WP3 and 4 are not on navigational roads (off road paths according to HERE) so the app is trying to avoid those. Whenever there is a navigational road on the HERE map, close enough to the waypoints, it will use those.

That's a misconception

OK - so, if I plan a route with OSM that includes tracks not in HERE (as in #26 around WP 3/4), and I open it for navigation: What is the difference between having "Routes as track" toggled on or off?
And if there is no difference, what is "Routes as track" good for?

@Con-Hennekens said in "Route as Track" wird nicht wie geplant navigiert:

Sure. Even if I don't navigate a route at all. But that's not the point here, right?

There will be no difference, since routes created in the OSM or TomTom map are opened as tracks anyway. The only way "route as track" does anything, is when you open a route based on HERE for navigation.
