@Herman-Veldhuizen said in App behaviour when in offline mode at a construction site:
a:The global setting 'Offline navigation'.
In my view, the “offline” global setting means that there is absolutely no internet connection, that there is no SIM card in the device, and that in the morning at the hotel, neither Wi-Fi nor a hotspot is used for updates.
b: The route level toggle 'Use offline/online maps'.
I haven’t been able to figure out exactly what’s going on yet, but it seems odd to me that when I tap the ‘offline navigation’ option in orange, it switches back to ‘online navigation’ in the main settings.
@Herman-Veldhuizen said in App behaviour when in offline mode at a construction site:
The in-app route editor assumes that you navigate a route as route. It doesn't use 2). So when you navigate a route as track you don't get the same route as in the editor.
I can’t currently confirm this for myself: when I place two devices side by side (both are online), with one device is set to ‘Route as Track’ and the other device is set to ‘Route as Route’, I see the same route when I open it (even before I press ‘Navigate).
@Herman-Veldhuizen said in App behaviour when in offline mode at a construction site:
Closures are always ignored in the opening page of a route. So what you see in the opening page might not correspond to what you see in the route editor or while navigating.
‘That seems logical to me, though, as only the planned route is displayed when you open the app, and it’s only when you start navigation that the road closures (according to Here) are taken into account, and the route is then naturally adjusted to avoid them.’ ‘That’s exactly how it should be.’
What strikes me about offline navigation, however, is that when I call up the route (with the settings set to ‘Route as Route’) and press Start, I can’t see any change to the route; it navigates as if I were using ‘Route as Track’.
That’s why I’d like to better understand the difference between an ‘offline’ route (set to ‘Route as Route’) and an ‘online’ route (set to ‘Route as Track’).
What is also noticeable when calling up ‘Route as Track’ online is that the route is navigated as planned, but warning messages appear on the map indicating that the route might be closed, for example.
With offline navigation using ‘Route as Route’, these warnings do not appear.
Perhaps someone is able to define the difference precisely.
