Route does not end at final waypoint

[Chris Capewell]

Hi,

I have been using MRA for a while now, but consistently have the same problem with any route I create in MRA, or point-to-point navigation.
I have route planner and navigation Gold Lifetime membership.

When I build a route in MRA or use a simple 'navigate me to XXX location', the navigation does not stop when I reach (and cross/pass-over) the final waypoint.

For example, I have set my home waypoint near the junction of the main road and side road (about 20 meters into the side road), in my village (don't want Mr Burglar knowing where I live). When a reach that final waypoint and continue to my home (about another 100 to 150 meters, or so, further on, the navigation wants me to do a U-turn and ride back to the final waypoint. This happens with any waypoint I use at the end of a route, it is not particular to my home location.

Is there a way (or a setting I can apply), I can instruct MRA to end the navigation as I cross the final waypoint?

Is this user error??

All waypoints are check and where necessary, aligned with the road on routes created in MRA; not sure what I would / should do on point-to-point navigation.

If I export an MRA route into my Zumo XT, the navigation ends as I cross the final waypoint

I genuinely think that MRA is one of the best, if not the best route planner I have used since GPS navigation became a common-place thing for motorcycling ..... love it!

Thanks in advance.

@Chris-Capewell this has been much discussed,
if you follow the links all will be clearer

@Brian-McG and further More it's that way by design

[Chris Capewell]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom I agree that some like it and some don’t. It would however, be great if I could set an end point, just like I can set a start point. Then when planning a route, wth such an option, I think it would suit those, who like me, want it to end and those who don’t, could leave the end point ‘unset’.

Briefly, for me, if I know where I am, it would be great if MRA stopped navigating once I arrive. On the other hand, if I don't know where I am and I mistakenly pass by my destination, it's really helpful that the app guides me back. And the more one-way streets, the more helpful the continuing
navigation is!

@Vincent-Curren Your last sentence is the main reason why I accept this behavior. Currently, I don't like it also.

An idea to make everybody happy, would be a setting where you can select "Stop navigation at last Waypoint" (On/Off)?

@Jörgen I much prefer the other suggestion to show a pop-up asking if you want to stop navigation when you reach your end point. If you don't respond then navigation continues. The reason I don't want an option is that i don't plan to miss my destination so how would I know when to set the option. Not ending navigation at the final waypoint is at worst a minor annoyance.
