Wrong nearest fuel station distance
-
Hello,
I have just noticed a small bug in the nearest fuel station info. I had planned a route of about 200 km long, with a loop ahead my position. I was in the point 3 before the loop and I had an info that the nearest station was in 153 km
MRA probably found the nearest station very close to me but on the left although I had to turn right and there were many stations closer along the route. MRA should look for stations along the route in the right direction.

That's a challenge for devs

How far was it from your position to that gas station? Could well be within parameters perhaps... the logic allows a small detour from your route, could well be counterclockwise to your loop. The problem then is not that it searches in the wrong direction, but that the distance to it calculates in the right direction (which it should not in this specific case).
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

@Con-Hennekens No, I was not interessed in this because my bike had a full tank
I assume it could be correctly found but in this case the info about 153 km was not correct or the opposite - the distance was correct (counted along the route) but in this case it shouldn't be displayed. It can be tricky for developers and not very important, I just wanted to share it. -
