Starting a ride from Waypoint or Exact location

[Jozef Malik 0]

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

@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!

[Con Hennekens]

@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

[Lenny O]

@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

The correct start of navigation if you are already on the route depends on how you start the navigation, if you start the navigation from Android Auto (regarding Carplay I don't know) the app will take you back to the starting point, it doesn't matter if you are almost at the end of the route of many kilometers and many waypoints, it will always take you back to the starting point, if instead you start it from the app outside of Android Auto by activating the options "Start from the nearest waypoint" and "Use the current location" the navigation starts correctly from the nearest waypoint which is located in the direction of the end of the route, once started you can go back to using Android Auto.
