One route with many waipoints or many routes (with start and end wpt for each route)??
-
Hello guys, i have a simple question. i ve created a 2000 km route with 30 waypoints as an italy round tour. id like to ask something. After the first day, will i be able to begin navigating from the 2nd, 3rd ,4th waypoint to the following waypoints? If not possible should i create day by day routes?
Also if i deviate from a designed route for a while, shall i be able from the deviation point to go to a following waypoint that i wish?
Thanks in advance.PS im travelling from bari to south ,central and north italy. anyone that has some proposals ill be glad to view them. Cheers

@Aggelos-Minoudis 30 Route Points for 2000 Km - that's not much! So, don't expect, the navigation will strictly follow your planned route! Because MyRoute-App is using only HEERE maps for navigation - independent what you have used in MRA-Routeplanner.
It's better (also for recalculation during ride) if you plan one route per each day. If you start navigation, you must not start with first Route Point - also during ride, you can skip Route Points.
Last year, I did also a long journey round Italy. If you like, you can read my story here in Blog area (may switch to english language). You also can use my tracklogs/routes for your inspiration.
Nothing is impossible ;-)

So one route per day with two waypoints only? (start and end?)
Please explain me what do you mean that i must not start with first route point? One route per day shall have two waypoints only, is that correct?
Also how can i have a route with two or more waypoints and skip some waypoints?
Thnx -
@Aggelos-Minoudis what @Guzzist means is that waypoint 1, the start of your daily route is at least 100 meter from the point where you are actually starting. Make shure that there are enough shapingpoints ON your route so it will lead you where you want to go. Look at Some of the instruction video’s to get to know the system

@Aggelos-Minoudis usually, I'm entering several shaping points and/or via points on the route - to force the algorithm to use exactly the road I want to use. (not the algorithm ones)
Typical via points on the route are- view points to make photos
- gas station to refuel
- Cafes for short breaks
- Restaurants for lunch break
- Sight seeings
It brings a structure in your day. You will always see on the screen, the distances or time to next restaurant, or gas station etc.
If not needed (p.e. no coffee brake), you can skip it in navigation during ride. Navigation will guide you to the next route point.
If you have a only 2 point route about 500 km - and there would be a detour (construction work) - the system needs a long time to recalculate the route. Will be much faster, if there are several route points in.

@Aggelos-Minoudis You have a 2000km route, which is a long route. I would create a folder and save this a as a back up. Then create daily (8hours) or 4 hourly rides routes. That way if there is have any problem with route it only effects you for that part of the ride. By creating these smaller routes to can then add points of interest, cafe and fuel stops.
Depending on your route and how strict you want to be about following it will be controlled by Way points you add also are you sharing this route with others in your group. If so, I would suggest you use the compare route with function to see if the "HERE" mapping is the same as TomTom and OpenStreetMap to make sure they are using the same shaping point and roads as they sometimes can be different.
