    I know this is not normal & not how MRA is intended to be used, in fact it could be said to be bad practice or poor planning but I think this example may give a clue to why there are complaints about MRA unexpectedly deviating from highways There is something strange in the path calculation that goes wrong when the distance between 2 points is large ~>80 miles (130km) if Offline & Track navigation are enabled The calculated path can/will deviate from a simple direct path down a motorway to leaving via an off ramp, re-routing around a load of side roads & sometimes even jumping up/down off of elevated roads before continuing To test this I simply create a 2 point route larger than > 80 miles starting at an on ramp & finishing at an off ramp The web planner will show me a distance & time for the route Open the route in the App & the same distance & time are displayed before the navigation is started [image: 1785077389267-22a31db4-d568-4461-9a02-b30027f6ac1b-image.jpeg] When the navigation starts the route is recalculated & it is immediately obvious that something is wrong because the mileage & time increases Inspecting the new calculated route, incorrect / unexpected deviations off of the motorway are easy to find Shorten the route so it includes the areas where the unexpected deviation occurred & the path follows the correct direct route along the motorway It is the large distance/time between points that seems to cause the unexpected deviations Online & disabling track navigation the problem does not appear It has nothing to do with traffic or road works I don’t really care / am not expecting a fix for this as I rarely plan trips with large sections of motorway, it is just something I noticed when testing to try & answer this other question on the forum Just thought maybe as it is a very reproducible error it may give a clue as to where in the path calculation sometimes an error can occur

    Please can there be an option that when choosing download, that the myrouteapp uses the android convention to put the file in the default Download folder in the android OS. At present the downloads go to a custom folder in myrouteapp's own file path, making it awkward to locate for use for e.g. whatsapp / email to a friend, or to use in other apps.
