    V6 - where is the option to navigate as a track ?

    BlackView BV7100, Android 12
    USED to navigate "Routes as Tracks" in Offline mode with Offline Maps
    No Wifi, no internet, no interruptions, worked well
    Track navigation deprecated without explanation so jury is out on how well things work now!

      Gone! Isn’t needed anymore.
      A confusing setting. Everything done automatically now

        @Corjan-Meijerink I understand how some could be confused by the differences between routes & tracks but this is a major change for those of us who trust & navigate by tracks

        As I have not seen a discussion or announcement on the deprecation/removal of track navigation (if I missed the discussion please point me too it) I was not sure if track navigation was just omitted in this new version & might reappear in some later version, glad you have cleared that up

        I do think that such a huge change in path calculation philosophy should have been communicated to users & that an explanation of exactly how MRA now does it path calculation should be provided
        I have heard mention of Here calculations been done in segments but these have been brief snippets of info no detailed explanation, is this related to the new calculation method?

        In the past MRA provided what I thought was a terrific & informative video of how track navigation was implemented & improved on in MRA, would it be possible to provide similar explaining the new path calculation method?

          I’ll consider a video but honestly, the app just handles it for you. Much better than before. Day and night difference 🙂

            @Corjan-Meijerink I appreciate your confidence in the new path calculation 😁
            for me I like to understand how these things work as I have low, very low confidence in how Here does its path calculations

            leading groups, if it goes wrong it is me that has got it wrong, nobody is going to accept if I blame MRA or Here
            a bit of understanding helps me to know when/where it might go wrong & I can hopefully work around it

              Given that V6 has now been released I would fully expect that the documentation has been updated to reflect all the changes.

                Our manuals are being finalised by support. Already visible on the beta website to be honest.

                However, things like this aren’t in it and won’t ever be in it 🙂

                  apologies, looking back at my previous post it is not obvious what was happening & what I was attempting to point out to to the uninitiated
                  to me it was perfectly clear as I understood the issue
                  what the Here routing is directing is to climb the 2m gravel/sand bank then ride 0.5 miles through the woods
                  rather than follow the lovely twisty bendy perfectly fine tarmac road
                  this happens a surprising amount on twisty mountain passes with the Here routing calculator
                  hence my desire to understand what the new MRA path calculator is actual doing

                    @Corjan-Meijerink I used tracks to make sure I was not re-routed if I left the route. Can you assure me that with 6 this will not happen?
                    Thanks Mike

                      If that was the reason you used track navigation, you have been disappointed a lot by the previous app 😉
                      It's much better now.
