Waypoints being skipped - not what I want to happen
-
@David-38 Jus to be clear, 3 is not a via point as can be clearly seen on your screenshot of the map. The route point menu screenshot that you shared shows how to select a via point, if the via point is selected the icon would show a shaping point.

Ahh, seeing the 'hand' gave me the impression it was already a via point .............. I'll update my route accordingly and re-test.
Thanks everyone who pointed this out.

I have been using the MRA web site to create routes for almost 10 years. I've used these routes successfully for my Garmin Zumo 550 and Harley-Davidson Boom (2015).
I recently started using the MRA navigation app. I've been creating very simple routes on the MRA web site to verify my understanding of the app. Unfortunately I have not yet figured out how to use waypoints or via points or shaping points such that MRA nav redirects me to them if I miss the calculated turn to reach them.
I've got the MRA nav app setting for 'auto skip of waypoints' turned OFF. But regardless of whether I've created a waypoint as 'via' ('hand') or 'shaping' (sort of a balloon), every time I miss a turn to take me to them, they get skipped.
Do I need to update a setting in the app ? Create my routes differently ? Other ?
Thanks.
@David-38 ...to make it clear: Via-Points must be reached exactly. For Shaping-Points it's good enough if you drive by in some distance. So, your Routepoibts 3,5,7 are very close by the road you are driving.
If you still drive on the road, the close by Shaping-Point has been accepted as reached. And there will no re-routing happen. -

I converted the Shaping Points to Via Points (see pic)
But as I drove past the turns to each of them, I did NOT get directed back to them.
But notice the message about using track navigation ......... is that ( track navigation) essentially preventing me from getting directed back to the Via Points ?
How do I stop track navigation / navigate as a route ? (As shown in an earlier post, I have the 'navigate routes as tracks' setting turned OFF)

@David-38 You are planning your route using the planning map from OpenStreetMap (OSM). Use the planning map from HERE as this is the map that the app uses.
Always willing to help if I can.

@David-38 Took me a while to figure that out as well. My expectation when I click on a point and bring up that dialog box is that it is showing me the current state of that point and clicking on something will trigger a change.

So I need a Gold level subscription of the web planner to use the MRA app ?
Wish I'd known that BEFORE subscribing to MRP app.

No, if you look next to the word Gold it also says Nav. An MRA Navigation Next subscription gives you access to the planning map from HERE, check it for yourself.

Thanks for that information ! I selected the HERE map on the web site, synced the route, and ran a test of the app.
Looks like I'm being directed to my Via points as I want !Thanks everyone for your help and patience with an app newbie.
Now, another question ........ I've changed the map selection setting so that NEW routes use the HERE map, but is there a way to convert all my EXISTING maps ? Or do I need to open each route (approx 300 routes) and make the map selection update ?

@David-38 I'm sorry to say that it'll be one at a time, no rush, wait until there's a wet weekend
