Offline maps and routing
-
@Bouke-Ent, Je route staat gecached, dus die gaat gewoon door. Je kaartweergave zal leeg zijn, maar de routelijn is nog steeds conform de werkelijkheid. Op het moment dat er iets van herberekening moet plaatsvinden ga je de mist in. Vraag me niet hoe ik dat weet...

@Con-Hennekens bedankt voor uitleg.

@Berin many of the functions are very intuitive for basic operation. If you play with it long enough and try everything possible on the screen, eventually you learn most of it. I had a lawyer complain to me that the new phone system we installed should be intuitive enough that he should not have to attend training. I told hom that I'm sure he can figure out how to receive and make phone calls, but if he wants to learn how to make full use of the features of the system he should attend training. He eventually did.

@RetiredWingMan Fascinating story, I'm sure.
However all this was resolved about 2 months ago. -
I've tried using offline navigation today for the first time, and it didn't work. I had both the country map and the route downloaded. My phone was in airplane mode when I launched the app. I selected the route from the downloads list, and then tapped the button to start navigation, which then resulted in this screen.
I've checked the online manual and the forums and as far as I can tell it should work as long as I've downloaded the region map and the route. Am I missing something?
Edit: I've found a forum post that I somehow missed in my initial search, where another user says they solved the problem by rebooting the phone and then waiting a few minutes when they got the message and the routing eventually started working. I'll give that a try, but is that (having to wait several minutes for offline navigation to work) expected behaviour for the app?

@Jorge-del-Valle Try turning off Calculate from current location to see if that makes a difference.

@Nick-Carthew Thanks Nick, that worked. However I'm a bit puzzled by the meaning of that option.
What I mean is, when I turned it off it traced a route from my current location to the start of the downloaded route, so even though I'm disabling an option named "calculate from current location" it seems to actually do just that (calculate a route from my current location). It doesn't seem to do what one would expect based on the name, or maybe I'm misunderstanding its function? A search for the option in the online documentation doesn't yield any results for me.
Another thing that's strange is that, after stopping the navigation and closing the app, I then reopened it (again in offline mode) and then tried loading the same route and starting the navigation again. And this time it worked even though the "calculate from current location" was back to enabled.
