App behaviour when in offline mode at a construction site

I use it almost never.

Me neither... that's why I'm asking

@Peter-Zehentreiter you have probably already seen this MRA tutorial video "Route Navigation Versus Track Navigation" but just in case you missed it

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Brian-McG Yes, I’m familiar with this video, and I also understand how it works – it’s simply brilliant.

The reason I’m considering using this option more often is, that due to some outdated traffic updates from Here, I’m sometimes receiving information I don’t actually want.

Thanks for the tips from the community

I’ll just give it a go.

You can also simply disable all traffic options in your settings - functional tab if you don't want that info.

Hi Con, I’m not sure if this setting will solve my problem?

A week ago on Sunday, I wanted to drive this route, but the problem started at the spot I’ve marked in red: the app refused to let me continue, or rather, kept telling me to turn back because the route was supposedly closed.

Ultimately, according to the app’s instructions, I was supposed to drive via Cortina d’Ampezzo, even though the roadworks had already finished.

I’ve just disabled all traffic settings in the app and started the route; the closure still appears on the map, and I don’t think the app will ignore the closure at that point because of that.

It may well be that I no longer receive any information, but the route through the roadworks will still be blocked.

I am therefore looking for a practical solution to this problem.

@Peter-Zehentreiter, Ah yes... We were discussing a similar thing yesterday amongst Alpha Testers. My theory is that some longer roadblocks are being registered in the map itself instead of through traffic info. A bit like seasonal closures, but I cannot get confirmation. Is the closure not relevant anymore? Try to update your maps and see what happens. Please report back, thanks!

You mean the offline maps?

[Con Hennekens]

@Peter-Zehentreiter, yep

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Con-Hennekens I’ve updated the maps; I think it’s now version 2.18.

The glitch was practically gone by last week.

Attached are 4 screenshots…

1x Route with offline traffic information disabled
1x Track with online traffic information enabled

@Peter-Zehentreiter, It is clear that the closure in your case is still there after updating. We have another example at hand where the closure indeed disappeared after a map upgrade. That seems to support my theory that closures sometimes are in the map data instead of the traffic info.
