Is it possible to join a planned route from a position that is not on the route?
Thanks. -

Thanks.If you open a route the app will guide you to the start from your location. If you do not want to join at the start, long press any waypoint to skip all previous waypoints and you’ll be directed from your location to your chosen waypoint.
So in short, the answer is yes.
Always willing to help if I can.

Also if you want to ride the complete route, then you can select (in the webplanner) a waypoint and tell it to be your start point.

Yes absolutely.
What annoys me: If I start riding a route, passing the start waypoint before the navigation starts, the app keeps directing me back to the starting point. This happens even if I pass the second, third, fourth shaping points etc, at which point it would be nice if the app would starts realizing, that this guy is actually following the route, so no need to go back and start over.

@Makro The first waypoint is always a via point, hand shape. Via points are never automatically skipped. To avoid what you described, always position the first waypoint 100+ metres from the actual start point. The app will always guide you to the start point.

@Nick-Carthew that's not the point Nick. Just if we do like you suggested - if there is a need of restart the navigation for a route - MyRoute-App doesn't realise we are just on the route and there is no need to start with route point 1 again.
Nothing is impossible ;-)

@Guzzist Neither the original poster or Marko mentioned restarting the route, so I’m not sure why you say that but even if you do need to restart the route a long press on any waypoint will still work or if you have Start from nearest waypoint selected.

Or Just use more waypoints when planning a route to cater for this type of eventuality.
If you keep pressing does go through all the waypoints, Or only the nearest one? -

The amount of waypoints makes no difference to the original scenario, my first answer still stands if there are 15 waypoints or 150 waypoints.

Not sure that you fully understood my reply. Long press on any Waypoint will skip all previous waypoints and then navigation starts from the waypoint that you long pressed.
