My goal - prepare for navigating routes off line in the mountains.
Setup:
Offline Maps - Downloaded
Navigation -> Functional - everything but Automatic track log is enabled
Problem(s) with the phone app:
When a route (I've imported a few on my computer) is downloaded for Offline navigation and then brought up from Downloads and Navigate is selected, 2 issues come up
- A warning message comes up saying that the Route was created using Open Street Maps but Navigation uses HERE, so the route could be changed unless I select navigating Tracks, which I don't want.
- When I turn off "navigate from here" option, it still navigates from my location to the start of the route 500 miles away...
So, the issue #2 is not so burning for me, cause I will be in the right place when navigating that route will be needed.
As far as issue #1 - I went on my computer, selected HERE map everywhere and created a test route.
Downloaded it. Called it for offline navigation - I get the same warning message AGAIN, even though I know for sure, that the test route was created using HERE map!
So, I see that as a problem, because now I can not be sure that navigating Offline is going to keep my Route as planned! Which defeats the whole point of creating the custom Route.
Yes, I can turn off the option of "checking if Route was created using HERE maps", so the warning will not pop up, BUT will it potentially change my Route????
