<![CDATA[Problem: Scenic routing ignore setup for avoiding motorways]]>Hi there,
as we had perfect weather here in Cologne today, I “opened” my 2026 season 🙂
The idea was just to take a quick trip to the “Biker Ranch” in the Eifel region. So, I started the app, selected my favorite “Biker Ranch,” chose a curvy profile, and excluded motorways. Ready to go!
Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as planned:
The app decided to route me via a motorway for more than 20 km, which was a bit unexpected.
So, here’s my question:
How could the app route me over such a long stretch of motorway to my destination?
Greetings,
Thomas

I have done acouple more "dry-runs" from different starting and ending locations and I haven't be able to reproduce the problem in for example the Sauerland area. Even when I have been in the Eifel today, I haven't ben able to reproduce the problem by selecting a locaton going south, but as soon as I tried to go back home, the problem was coming up consistantly, as long as I allowed the toll roads.

There is something wrong with "Autobahn vermeiden" (prevent highway) and toll road. And for both curvy options.

Thank you very much for all the information.
I have done some more testing and can confirm, that switching off "Gebührenpflichtige Straße" fixed te issue.
I also dine sommore testing around potetial different behaviors between iOS and Android and can confirm, that both versions behave in exactly the same way and the workaround provided by Hubert works for both platforms.

So, that leaves one fna question (at least for me):
Why does Here classify the A4 not as Motorway, but as a toll road?

Hey can confirm the error, switch off the chargeable road at medium curve, then the A43 will no longer be used for me !!

We do not have such a chargeable street in the region !!
————-

Hey kann den Fehler bestätigen, schaltet mal bei mittlerer Kurvigkeit zusätzlich die Gebührenpflichtige Straße aus, dann wird bei mir die A43 nicht mehr genutzt !!

Bei uns gibt es keine solche Gebührenpflichtige Straße in der Region !!

I will double check this when I am back home again.

Motorways are avoided.

Actually, I can't see any difference on the small screen whether “avoid motorways” is on or off; both routes look the same.

Yep, that i exactly what I have seen on the screen 🙂
They look the same and switching the motorway avoidance on or off changed nothing.

And there is indeed a motorway on the route to the biker ranch.
