Automatically skipping shaping points Part 2
-
My usage of MRA is low just because the issues discussed in this topic. It is not consistent indeed. Yesterday i did a small test and everything works wunderfull. Both in the app only and Android Auto. But many times it was the opposite and MRA forced me to skip manual. While i think this is job for the software. When this happens. Many times i stop MRA and proceed the route with a different app which doesn't forced me to press some buttons. When i ride i just want to follow the routeline, trust it is the correct direction without concerns i am send back to a point i can't reach (i did not missed a shaping point on purpose).
With this i mind i miss a logic in @Corjan-Meijerink list of logics.
- When back on the original route (i.e after roadworks), or still on the original route, skipped all missed shaping points which should be skipped already and proceed to the next waypoint.
This logic is an extra step when the other logics for autoskip should skip a shaping point but somehow it didn't autoskip.
@M.-Schrijver I agree with you. MRA Nav being a multipoint system it is no surprise that this is the core and complex.
Currently the app has one way of dealing with a missed point.
I strongly feel that it is impossible to make everybody happy with one algorithm. But I can also understand the reluctance to expose parameters to an internal algorithm.
But, as mentioned before, maybe there is a way to offer multiple algorithms whereby at least one is easy to understand and document.
I stumbled across LocusMap the other day which has Point priority and Route priority navigation. I dont know if it is of any use for us but I found it interesting.
