<p dir="auto">There is something strange in the path calculation that goes wrong when the distance between 2 points is large ~&gt;80 miles (130km) if Offline &amp; Track navigation are enabled<br />
The calculated path can/will deviate from a simple direct path down a motorway to leaving via an off ramp, re-routing around a load of side roads &amp; sometimes <strong>even jumping up/down off of elevated roads</strong> before continuing</p>
<p dir="auto">To test this I simply create a 2 point route larger than &gt; 80 miles starting at an on ramp &amp; finishing at an off ramp<br />
The web planner will show me a distance &amp; time for the route<br />
Open the route in the App &amp; the <strong>same distance &amp; time are displayed</strong> before the navigation is started<br />

When the navigation starts the route is recalculated &amp; it is immediately obvious that something is wrong because the mileage &amp; time increases<br />
Inspecting the new calculated route, incorrect / unexpected deviations off of the motorway are easy to find</p>
<p dir="auto">Shorten the route so it includes the areas where the unexpected deviation occurred &amp; the path follows the correct direct route along the motorway<br />
It is the large distance/time between points that seems to cause the unexpected deviations</p>
<p dir="auto">Online &amp; disabling track navigation the problem does not appear<br />
It has nothing to do with traffic or road works</p>
<p dir="auto">I don’t really care / am not expecting a fix for this as I rarely plan trips with large sections of motorway,<br />
it is just something I noticed when testing to try &amp; answer this <a href="https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/81275">other question on the forum</a><br />
Just thought maybe as it is a very reproducible error it may give a clue as to where in the path calculation sometimes an error can occur</p>
