erratic routing instructions

[paul69]

afternoon all,

This isn’t a complaint, just some information for others in case anyone experiences something similar.

Route used: https://www.myrouteapp.com/route/open/10218580

I rode the above route on Thursday. The first part of the ride is mostly motorway and dual carriageway, mainly to get away from the city before reaching the more enjoyable winding roads.
While riding on the motorway between points 2 and 3, the app constantly tried to direct me off at every junction, onto an A road, and then back onto the motorway at the next junction. This continued the whole way until I reached point 3. Obviously I ignored the instructions as I knew how to get to point 3.
I had already passed through points 1 and 2 correctly, so there shouldn’t have been any need for the app to reroute me to pass a missed point.
For the first time in a long while, my phone also became extremely hot, and the app crashed several times during both the outward and return journeys. which was the same route in reverse.
I’ve sent the log files to support in the hope it helps identify the issue and possibly improves a future update.

For reference, I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro with a Carpuride CP. I normally use this setup for commuting and single-day rides. For multi-day tours, I use an RT3 rugged tablet with navigation next installed.

77 kms is a long way between waypoints. Allows the navigation software an opportunity to select a shorter route. Add a few more waypoints and that will likely solve the issue.

hi @retiredwingman
think you may have misunderstood the post.
I know the way to waypoint 3. the fastest route will always be motorway, hence why I do not need more points.
I was merely pointing out that I was directed off and back on the motorway at every junction.
I have ridden this same route a number of times, it was only on this occasion, interestingly since the latest update, that it behaved like this.
