Wrong nearest fuel station distance
-
Hello,
I have just noticed a small bug in the nearest fuel station info. I had planned a route of about 200 km long, with a loop ahead my position. I was in the point 3 before the loop and I had an info that the nearest station was in 153 km
MRA probably found the nearest station very close to me but on the left although I had to turn right and there were many stations closer along the route. MRA should look for stations along the route in the right direction.

@Stanisław thanks for sharing

@Stanisław, Good find! I know the function searches ahead in the route, but obviously gets confused by these loops. That's a challenge for devs

@Stanisław, Question though... did you by any chance add that station to your route? How far was it from your position to that gas station? Could well be within parameters perhaps... the logic allows a small detour from your route, could well be counterclockwise to your loop. The problem then is not that it searches in the wrong direction, but that the distance to it calculates in the right direction (which it should not in this specific case).

@Con-Hennekens No, I was not interessed in this because my bike had a full tank
I assume it could be correctly found but in this case the info about 153 km was not correct or the opposite - the distance was correct (counted along the route) but in this case it shouldn't be displayed. It can be tricky for developers and not very important, I just wanted to share it. -
