Different roads for outward and return journey

[Thomas Schäfer]

A small suggestion for the next update of the website.
If you are not planning a round trip, but a journey to a destination and back, it would be nice if you could tell MRA not to use the same road for the outward and return journey.
Of course, you can force this by setting additional waypoints, but this function would make it a bit more convenient.
Not a priority 1 idea!

@Thomas-Schäfer, that's probably not an easy request, but still a great idea!

@Con-Hennekens I think that feature is available when using the TomTom maps... or the OSM?

[Thomas Schäfer]

@RetiredWingMan @Con-Hennekens Thank you for your answers.
In TomTom mode, which is of little use to me when I use Garmin or Next, there really is the option ‘Avoid used roads’.
However, this only works to a very limited extent, e.g. not if I have not avoided motorways.
But it is at least useful as a workaround if you then manually convert the TomTom route to Here.

I also think it is not easy to develop.
In the past there was the "Onroute Motormap" for Garmin. This map generated scenic routes. I used this map more than once. But i've noticed it used more or less the same roads. After a while it was not so scenic anymore.

I think it is more a feature for the smartphone app. On a PC is it pretty easy to add and move points. This is harder on a smartphone.

Does the roundtrip generator already have this functionality?

@M-Schrijver I agree that it is certainly more difficult on a smartphone. I have seen it as a very well-functioning feature of kurviger.de.
But that's certainly no help for MRA at first.
