App behaviour when in offline mode at a construction site

[Peter Zehentreiter]

I have a question about road closures shown on Here Maps in relation to offline navigation.

Last Sunday, I was driving ‘online’ from Italy to Germany via Cortina d’Ampezzo.
According to the Here map, the road was closed, but in reality the roadworks had already finished; however, the app prevented me from taking the planned route.....

What happens if I navigate ‘offline’? Will the app still try to reroute me, or can I follow the planned route without any notifications from the app?

Does anyone have any experience with this? I’ve always navigated online up to now, so I don’t have any experience with this.

Already figured out that there is no big difference....

The only thing which helps, is to deactivate route violation and switch to navigate route as a track.

Have a nice sunny weekend

Or just follow the road and do nothing

@Lex.Kloet.RX Yeah, sure, that’s an option, of course, but the constant reminders that I should take a different route because I’m supposedly not allowed to drive through the roadworks are incredibly annoying......

@Peter-Zehentreiter you worked out a solution,
it is similar to the way I use MRA so that I get to ride the route I planned, I use offline mode & route as track,
this way there are no disturbances to the route unless I go off route & the app then tries to get me back on the track

yes I know this has the disadvantage of not getting the latest up to date road closure/traffic information but I am on a bike & traffic is not really such an issue & even a lot of "road closures" can be got through on a bike

I do mitigate the issue of road closures, normally at breakfast in the hotel, by going onlline & checking if the app does try to add any route changes before I set off,
but when I set off the route is reloaded with navigation is offline & as a track

@Brian-McG said in App behaviour when in offline mode at a construction site:

I use offline mode & route as track,

When doing the same just online there shouldn't be disturbances as well...... ( I `ll try)

Concerning getting the latest information about traffic or construction areas.....I`ll see when trying the Route as a track.what will happen online.

Sometimes there are up to 10 other riders following me, so I like to know in advance where the road leads or at least be sure that the road I choose is suitable for the others.

So far, though, I’ve always managed to reach my destination
