Offroad possible?

Jörgen

Hi, I had yesterday a strange thing. MRA wants me to drive off road even there is no way.

As you can see here, between the two arrows there is no way and not possible to drive.
Why was this way calculated?

Here the same area.

@Jörgen I guess you were using track navigation on a generated route? In that case, there probably is a road present in the map that was generated in (OSM) and HERE attempts to send you across that (but it does not exist, hence this weird behavior).

If this was a planned route however, please do share the route

Jörgen

@Corjan-Meijerink Yes, I used track navigation, I can not share it.

But there is definitely no road, even a footpath is impossible at this point.

This is the road (connection) on Google maps that MRA generated.

@Jörgen that would explain it
But indeed an interesting example!

Okey!? So it is possible to make an off-road route with, for example, the OSM map or download it from the internet and load it as a track in MRA? Does that keep the route the same?

Jörgen

@CD130 No no, it is not possible.
This is just an error in route calculation. That sends me straight down the hill.

@Jörgen Oh, okay, too bad It is not yet entirely clear to me within MRA what exactly the difference is between using a route or a track for navigation.

Due to work on the road, I had to drive another route for a long time. MRA tried to send me to the next route point for a while, but soon I was navigated one point further and eventually even to the end point! So that didn't work for me. I'm curious how that goes with a track. I'm going to give that a try

Back to off-road navigation: I hope the support for off-road navigation comes soon. I really miss it within MRA

@CD130 said in Offroad possible?:

@Jörgen Oh, okay, too bad It is not yet entirely clear to me within MRA what exactly the difference is between using a route or a track for navigation.

@Jörgen Thank you, I also found an explanation in the MRA manual. At Garmin, I never actually used the track to navigate, but I did turn it on in the background to see if I was still driving on the original route. Within MRA I'm going to give it a try. I'm curious how it works when I deviate from the original route a little longer.
