Suggestion: "Snap to" a road
-
As I place waypoints I find that I don't always hit the roads. Your YouTube instructional videos address this quite well, and advise that you ensure that each point is actually on a road. Is it possible to add a "snap to" feature in the placing function so that if you were close to a road it would just put it there? I've seen other mapping programs do that & it does speed up route creation while making sure things are right. (It does not replace checking your work--it just makes it easier/faster).
In some instances I know this is not desirable but that could be addressed by making it a switchable option.

@Brian-Liechty careful, snapping to the nearest road is not necessarly the road you have in mind. It can as well snap to the other side of a highway, or to a tine sidestreet of the main road you are aiming at.

@Brian-Liechty This is my method: I rough-out the route and then fully zoom into the first route point and adjust as necessary. I then use the right arrow button within the route point information box > to move to the next route point and so on.

In route planning of MRA Navigation, there is an option to select "place WP automatically on road". But unfortunately, I can't find this option in MRA App.
Nothing is impossible ;-)
In past: GARMIN Zumo 210->GARMIN Zumo 395->GARMIN XT=> now: DMD T865-X + MyRoute-App, LocusMaps, OsmAnd.

@Guzzist I have never planned a route on the Navigation app, where do I find this option ‘Place waypoint automatically on road’ ?

Open MRA Navigation App:
...select "Routenplanung" and open a Route:
... click on the "gear" icon at top right corner, the scroll down in properties and select "Routenpunkt automatisch auf die Straße setzen" :

...this is an issue (incident), right? And @Nick-Carthew should raise a Ticket?@Guzzist Hi Guzzist, no this is not an issue. Currently the Android app has a few more features than the iOS app due to the development capacity being slightly skewed with more expertise on Android being available.

@Timo-Martosatiman-MRA thank you for that Info. I'm happy once more, not to follow self-appointet "evangelists" Apple

I’m reviving this thread.
Snap-to would be really helpful on the web routelab. I find I drop a bunch of waypoints as I build a route and then need to do a cleanup pass zooming in to every point to make sure it’s actually on the road and not 5-20m in a field.

Guzzist,
I never seen that lay out before. And I am using Android. Can you be more precise how to get there?

Locking this topic as it is 5 years old and refers to the old, no longer supported navigation app so it is causing confusion.
