Waypoints being skipped - not what I want to happen

[David 38]

I have been using the MRA web site to create routes for almost 10 years. I've used these routes successfully for my Garmin Zumo 550 and Harley-Davidson Boom (2015).

I recently started using the MRA navigation app. I've been creating very simple routes on the MRA web site to verify my understanding of the app. Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to use waypoints or via points or shaping points such that MRA nav redirects me to them if I miss the calculated turn to reach them.

I've got the MRA nav app setting for 'auto skip of waypoints' turned OFF. But regardless of whether I've created a waypoint as 'via' ('hand') or 'shaping' (sort of a balloon), every time I miss a turn to take me to them, they get skipped.

Do I need to update a setting in the app ? Create my routes differently ? Other ?

Thanks.

This strikes me as odd. Skipping waypoints if that setting is off is never mentioned here. Especially skipping VIA points automatically is something that can't (should not) happen.

However version 6 of the app is going to be released soon, and the skipping algorithm has been extensively improved, so I would wait for that.

@MotoCon I have had this happen to me with V5 but also with V6 on occasion. I have not been able to determine if there is a trigger apart from being near the destination with a final via point before. I need to do some more testing.
