Evening All, just a quick question, I've been watching the last two online trainings which spurred me on to using the app.
I did at the weekend and it all went horribly wrong. I thought I had created the perfect route, but from early on it kept telling me to turn around
️
I have no idea why this happened, but I need to investigate so I don't have a repeat performance later in the year when further from home.
Is there a way I can get a demo of my route ?
That way I can probably figure out where I went wrong ?
Cheers, -

Cheers,@Iain-Cochrane-0 Reading your question, I suspect you're being routed back to the starting point of your route. That starting point is always a via point (hand symbol). You must visit that point obligatorily. Since there are no other noticeable "symptoms" in your question, this is what it makes me think. I think that starting point is placed too close to the location where you are at the moment you start navigation. It's better to place that starting point a few hundred meters away from the actual location where you are at that moment! The navigation will then automatically guide you over the starting point.

If you share the route here by making it public, there may be something obvious that somebody will spot (using 'via's rather than waypoints, the wrong routing engine compared to the device, etc, etc).
Adjust your exact home address if its in the route - for privacy, of course.

Many thanks Rob, that makes sense, and maybe I just made the start point too close.
I will try the route again at some point with a relocated start point.

https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/route/12930170?mode=share@Iain-Cochrane-0 Since your route only contains two via points (start and end), I suspect that you somehow skipped the starting point, and the navigation therefore keeps trying to send you back until you have actually “hit” that point.
