Starting a ride from Waypoint or Exact location
-
It's simple (if this is what you mean and asked for:
In my example:
Waypoint 2 is a hard waypoint (routepoint) meaning you MUST pass this point to cintineu your journey.Waypoint 3 is a soft waypoint you can pass but you can also skip this point to continue your journey
If you pass waypoint 2 and continue your journey, you will be rturned to wyapoint 2 although you might be very close to your endpoint (finish).

Hi, thank you for your reply. I'm adding the picture to explain better. Now, in the attached picture, the start/finish is where the checker flag is. But my accommodation is where I red circled the map, so ideally would like to start/finish the route there as opposed to riding all the way up to the start/finish checker flag.
Some other vendors have a way to join the ride at the fastest possible route to it.
Is there a simple way in myRoute navigation app to simply load the original GPX, but change start/finish on the fly, where I red circled?thank you

I've been using the MyRoute app for a few months but have a question regarding starting from a nearest waypoint versu exact location. I've run into a few situations when the app wants me to "double back" to start the ride. Can someone please enlighten me and apologies for the MyRoute 101 question.
@Eric-Colón-3-0 simply skip waypoint 1 and you're good to go.

In MRA terminology, we’re talking about viapoints and shapingpoints.

@Eric-Colón-3-0 all you need to do is zoom out the map so you can see the next point ahead of you on your route,
press on this next point & it will become the start point for your navigation
MRA will calculate the route from your exact location to this next piont after you have pressed it -

@Jozef-Malik-0, I all honesty, the previous comments are not going to help you... What I see is a track. You cannot change a track (at least not without completely redrawing it as a route). Assuming you will be navigating with the MRA app, what you CAN do is this:
- just start the navigating the track as usual. You will be directed to the start point
- long-press a point on the track, a bit ahead in the direction away from the start
- Navigation will guide you to the end of the track just fine
- From the end of the track, restart the track from the beginning until you are where you started
Succes!

Hi!
Would you please clarify what you mean here "From the end of the track, restart the track from the beginning until you are where you started".
Also, navigating the Track will still give you voice guidance as oppose to say Garmin that only gives you that for Routes, correct?
Thank you! -

Thank you!@Lenny-O. What I mean is, if you reach the end of the track, you can simply restart the track from the beginning, to complete your journey to the point where you started. And yes, navigating a track will still give you voice guidance

@Con-Hennekens Oh, I see...
You mean to get back to the accommodations point where the route ACTUALLY started! Clever! -

Con-Hennekens, thank you for the explanation in both threads, i am not sure how on earth I reply to completely different post. Maybe the moderator can move it to the thread i have started on this topic yesterday. Thank you
