Auto skip many waypoints by itself while I was on route. [5.2.0 - 474]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom 100%! I am aware of that. Thos was the only thing I could spot on the route.
But this should not the cause the problem with crazy skipping.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@LennyO totally agree with you
I hope that @m.-schrijver has send in the log files so Corjan can have a look at those

Please remind me. How can i download the log files

Today i noticed also something in autoskipping procedure. I don't know if the rootcause is the same. But still i write it here.

• From my current position i need to drive approx. 20 km before i'm on the route.
• My standard setting is "Closest point" as startpoint when (re)starting a route.
• Auto skipping is enabled as a default setting.

Today MRA auto-selected "point 7" of the route as startingpoint. I changed this manual to "point 2". MRA created a route from my position to "point 2". So far nothing strange.
Pretty after riding away from the where i started, i did need to deviate. MRA did a recalculation and skipped to "point 7". The recalculation was expected but auto-skipping to "point 7" not. Changed manual back to point 2 and keep on driving. A bit further and nicely on (pre-)route, MRA started a recalculation and auto-skipped to point 7. This time both were complete unexpected.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

My guess is that it's normal behavior because you've stated that MRA saw nr 7 as the nearest point therefore skipping 1 to 6

[M. Schrijver]

You can see it as normal behaviour. But there are more ways to look at it.
The selected startpoint of the route is kind of an endpoint for the extra added part of the route. An endpoint normally doesn't change.
Another point of view. When you are riding the route and you are deviating from the route and the next waypoint is still ahead of you. The navigation won't skip this one either.

@M.-Schrijver I agree with @marinus-van-deudekom the system is pretty much doing what you asked it to do

your settings "My standard setting is "Closest point" as start point when (re)starting a route." set the system up to designate point #7 as the start

when this is locked into MRA & you then deviate & cause a recalculation, it is going to recalculate to point #7

[M. Schrijver]

That is just a different opinion. When i select a different point to start from, i expect the navigation stick to this point. No matter what happens during the trip to that selected point. Otherwise there is no reason to select a different point.
There are only 2 options. Startpoint (first point) or closest point. Either way following your explanation. In both situations i don't gonna be where i want to be.

[RetiredWingMan]

I agree that MRA should not have skipped waypoints to wp7 on a recalculation.

There is a simple solution to these issues!

Turn off auto skip waypoints!

We had similar issues where it would randomly skip waypoints. There is 7 of us that sometimes we all had the problem and other times it was two or three of us.

We have all turned off auto skip waypoints and we skip them as and when we need to manually.

The next issue we need to figure out is why sometimes 2 people in the group end up with a different route than the one that was planned! coincidentally its the two who are using offline maps but that's for a different thread
