Auto skipping in next version (6)

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Herman-Veldhuizen Version 6 is currently being tested by the beta users. I think the algorithm has been improved significantly. I don’t really care about the logic behind it, as long as what happens makes sense!

I’m also interested in logic behind autoskipping feature. Can any one share logic of how it works?

My hope is that the app gets a mode in which the route gets priority over points.

How i like that idea very much. I do not thing it will be the case.
On a active route in the navigation. Zoom in on a waypoint. You'll see kind of two routelines overlapping eachother.
What this tells me. A route is a chain of mulitple miniroutes. Where every waypoint is both start and endoint. As long as the deviation stays with in the same miniroute. MRA is flexibel doesn't do strange things overall. But when the deviation causes to interact with two (or more) of these miniroutes (skipping waypoints). Things starting to be complicated. To start a new (mini)route, you need to end the previous one first.
It looks like this the basic structure how the Here platform works.

well i will wait and see. one day it will be fixed i hope. I am clearly not the only one asking for route priority over point priority. The current behaviour is a hybrid between point and route priority. As long as you follow the route exactly as planned then all is good. but if you deviate from the route you dont know if you should follow the instructions from the app or not. It would be good if the app had a setting where you can say whether you want point priority or route priority (or a hybrid like today but when it is easy to skip both forwards and backwards then the hybrid version is probably not needed anymore).

many new features coming apparently. All good but resources are not unlimited and my concern is that these new features will consume the time needed to fix issues in the core. I like MRA very much and I just need to be a bit more patient i guess.

@Herman-Veldhuizen this comment is about what version?

[Herman Veldhuizen]

I am not a alfa or beta tester. i am using the latest version on google play (5.2.2).

[Corjan Meijerink]

Clear! This has been completely redesigned and I am positive you will enjoy it better

[Herman Veldhuizen]

@Corjan-Meijerink Sounds very good. thanks for the good work.

I'm a Beta tester and I can confirm that I'm very positiv about the new auto skipping!
But for it's still Beta I can not say much more. You will see.
