Shaping points and Via points
-
i also looked at beeline. beeline is better is follow the plan you made. MRA is better to plan. MRA Next has many good point but also to many functions and some main function like how to deal with track and gpx file or skipping shaping point or follow the route when back on the route you planned are in my opinion not perfect. I hope in planning of future development.

@Herman-Veldhuizen, by no means I meant to imply you being a complainer, hence the addition of the word "constructive!" as in "opbouwende kritiek" in Dutch. I think your way of usage is interesting for sure but probably not practised a lot, not by the target audience anyway. It could be a future expansion perhaps, but in that case indeed probably as an extra licence (more as a logistics solution). I don't think however that is something MRA is willing to spent time on at the moment. For sure not until the new web planner is live and bug free.
@Martin-Wilcke said in Shaping points and Via points:
When navigating "Routes as tracks", all waypoints (SPs and VIAs) should be skipped automatically, as this is how track navigation works.
That is a bit strange, since the one-and-only function of a VIA point is that it cannot be skipped automatically
. How track navigation works is without any route points at all.@Con-Hennekens said in Shaping points and Via points:
since the one-and-only function of a VIA point is that it cannot be skipped automatically
Hence, my suggestion for a change.
When navigating a track, there are two common concepts to lead you back in case of a deviation:
-
to the point where you left the track
-
to the most logical point in the forward direction
There might be additional "points" (waypoints, POIs, whatever) along the track; however, they are informational only (may be announced) and do not influence the navigation.
This concept is becoming increasingly popular, and it would be a good idea to implement it in MRA as well.
