    I acknowledge that it has to be me, but today was yet another day on which i was jot able to follow the pre-planes route on the motorbike.
    Yesterday I planned a round trip on the mobile app. I saved the route and wanted to ride it today.
    1st problem, MyRoute App wants to send me back home all the time. Probably I made the mistake to make my home the first waypoint. As if it were the starting point, so to speak. And no “Skip Waypoint” icon on my CarPlay.
    So first question: When does and when does the Skip Waypoint icon show up on the CarPlay screen?
    Anyway, we had to stop at waypoint 2 (restaurant), so I put my music and don’t pay attention to the navigation hoping that I can skip the waypoints on my mobile and continue my route.
    All looked ok until the point where the app pointed me to the motorway. Weird. Maybe it’s just a short distance. No! 25km and the app directs me to my next waypoint using the fastest road. Motorway! And you don’t exit a motorway just anywhere. So yeah, route screwed up.

    I’m really thinking to quit using this app because it has so many annoyances. Unless someone can explain to me “like I’m 5 years old” how to use this app.

      @Ton-Machielsen Hi Ton
      Don't give up. It seems to that you're a couple of thing wrong and that your settings are not correct. Share this route here please and make sure that its set to public.
      I think you're Dutch so if you want to, leave your phone number in a message just to me and I'll help you get it wright

        We've all been there!
        The app isn't always as straightforward to use as you might hope because routing is a surprisingly complex task.

        However, there is nearly always a solution.

        As Marinus says, share your route by making it public, and someone (many people!) will be happy to give you some good advice, and also explain why it's misbehaving.

          Apparently I have the route public and it should be visible in Activities. Does it?
          If you can see the route, I live close to 18. I meet with the group at 1, so from home to 1 I don’t have planned. Contrary to my original message I did not have waypoint 1 close to my house. So why, since the beginning of the route, am I directed back to my home? Maybe to waypoint 18?
          Why, if I select “continue navigation” does it not follow the planned route? I was just behind 3 when I was redirected to the motorway I stead of to 4. In Santa Maria I stopped and gave up because I was too far from my original route. I created a new route to home (18).

                @Ton-Machielsen I guess you mean this one:
                https://www.myrouteapp.com/route/open/10719669

                OK, a few thoughts/suggestions:

                • point 1 is not on a road, so there's quite a high chance that you didn't pass through it as you set off. An easy fix is to just shift it a little way ahead of where you start from, and put it directly on that road
                  Like so:
                  Screenshot 2025-03-16 at 16.12.28.png

                • most of your waypoints aren't on a road - they're just kind of close. Use the magnifying glass to zoom in and get them on the road. (The magnifying glass is in the pop-up that is shown when you click on a waypoint.) Waypoint 7, for example, is right between two roads:
                  Screenshot 2025-03-16 at 16.14.02.png

                I'm guessing the road to the left is the 'correct' road, but you will have got taken along the right one, and then back again, I think. Quite frustrating!
                The same for waypoints 6, 11, 12, 16.

                Lastly, the end waypoint isn't on a road either. I'd put it say 100 metres before your destination, just so you're guaranteed to pass through it.

                I've made a corrected route for comparison:
                https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/route/10725113?mode=share

                Lastly, another reason to be very accurate with waypoint placement is on dual carriageways - I'm sure you can imagine the pain caused by selecting the wrong side of the carriageway!

                I'm sure there are other improvements, but those came to mind immediately.
                I hope that helps you a little.

                  @Ton-Machielsen Looking at your route itself raises a lot of issues. Only waypoint 14 and 17 are ON the route. The rest is of or even way of. That's a chance to get your route to get messed up.
                  Are You navigation with the Next app of are you using a dedicated device.
                  If you're navigating with the next app witch settings are you using. Did you select start navigating from the nearest waypoint. If you are in fact linvibng near waypoint 18 and you have that setting active it's by design that youy are routed home, since that's the nearest waypoint.
                  Add some screeshots of your settings

                    @richtea999 Yes, that helps. I never realised that you need to be that precise. I always assumed (ass u me makes an ass out of you and me) that if the route was correct, all would be hokeydokey. Thanks for the tip. I think we need a “touch circle” for the waypoints so if they are not precisely on a road they do get hit.
                    Any idea whether I am supposed to get the “Skip Waypoint” icon on the screen and when not?

                            @Ton-Machielsen you seem to have all the settings OK
                            How dit you start to route. Did you select start from the nearest waypoint. That would be the main problem since you started near your home and that's the end of the route so would be the nearest waypoint

                              @Ton-Machielsen you seem to have all the settings OK
                              How dit you start to route. Did you select start from the nearest waypoint. That would be the main problem since you started near your home and that's the end of the route so would be the nearest waypoint

                                      @Ton-Machielsen Looking at your route itself raises a lot of issues. Only waypoint 14 and 17 are ON the route. The rest is of or even way of. That's a chance to get your route to get messed up.
                                      Are You navigation with the Next app of are you using a dedicated device.
                                      If you're navigating with the next app witch settings are you using. Did you select start navigating from the nearest waypoint. If you are in fact linvibng near waypoint 18 and you have that setting active it's by design that youy are routed home, since that's the nearest waypoint.
                                      Add some screeshots of your settings

                                      Something to add to your comment.

                                      When waypoints are way off route/road and you're riding a route (not a track). How can MRA Navigation (or other navigation) hit those waypoints when they are not on the road or very close to the road.
                                      Those waypoints causes recalculations just because the waypoints are too far off-road.

                                      (I use MRA Next only on Android Auto. Every comment, suggestion, etc will be based on my usage with Android Auto)

                                        @Ton-Machielsen there you have it. The app is trying to get you to the nearest waypoint, that would be nr 18. Since you know where waypoint 1 is, you've driving towards that waypoint nr 1 and meanwhile the app tries to get you to go to waypoint 18.
                                        The fact that your waypoints are not ON the route is not good but the aopp will disregard those of route waypoints and try to navigate as close as possible to thoes waypoints. Your problems lies in the fact that you didn't not selct waypoint 1

                                          @M-Schrijver Understand. That’s why I am suggesting a radius for the waypoint hits. If you pass the waypoint within that distance the waypoint is considered as hit.
