Android only update! (4.4.1)

[richtea999]

Still one minor layout problem left, Corjan - the sync screen.
Probably not worth a release, but worth a fix:

@ginogino maybe you can put in a service ticket and include the log file.

Thanks, I didn't know how to extract the log file. I'll open a ticket reporting the error.

@ginogino, to be honest, if the app skipped to 9 and you still followed the original route to 8, there really is no error. Having no turn by turn instructions is what happens if you disable recalculation and leave the blue line. Of course you can ask why the app skipped 8. Could it be an accidental touch on the phone's display?

There was no problem because I knew perfectly well the road I had selected when I planned the motorcycle tour, but instead I worry when I have to take roads that I don't know well or that I'm doing for the first time.

I would certainly put shapingpoint 7 a bit more in the direction of 8

Exactly always ensure your waypoints are a good distance from a junction, intersection, roundabout or adjacent road. If you use the (expand) add waypoints option you have to check every single one.

I've also had MRA take me left onto a single track lane shortcut even though my friend's MRA was showing straight ahead which was the correct way.

I didn't have (show original route) turned on which would have helped but previously the white line (show original route) didn't follow the road correctly so I turned it off. Looks like it has been fixed now but I'll find out for sure on my trip on the 20th.

I used to use the "expand" function, until I realized it was introducing a lot of errors, and I haven't used it since.

@ginogino I would not use the expand waypoint function but simply add a couple manually

not sure if it is the same issue you are refering to but just so you know before your trip there is still an issue with the "original route" line not exactly "following the road" if you are navigating in offline mode

there are a couple of workarounds, details are here https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/66551

@Brian-McG You're right mate! My mistake I had forgotten to turn WiFi and Data off ‍️.

I navigate with my old phone (no SIM) using offline maps.

So you're saying if I open a route offline and then click on the (pen) ️ edit route icon, then go to (Menu) scroll down and select (Navigate) the white line original route would follow the blue navigation line correctly?

Thanks for your reply

[Brian McG]

@JP-d that sounds about right

you can test it at home & see the white line not fitting correctly
I think it is easier to see on longer routes with more points as somewhere MRA are limiting the number of track points for the track calculation, so longer routes deviate away more from the road

the other work around is start the navigation while your old phone is still connected to the hotel wifi then the white line is calculated correctly as it is online & MRA allows more points for the track caclulation
then go offline & close the wifi
