Route completely messed up when creating route from tracklog

@Nomko-Nomden said in Route completely messed up when creating route from tracklog:

As i remember, a track has multiple waypoints/route points so it follows your route precisely as intended.

I think it we should all better stick to the proper definitions...
Tracks have NO waypoints, routes do.
Tracks are a breadcrumb trail.
When you convert a track to a route waypoints get ADDED not LOST.
The routing algorithm defines the route between waypoints NOT the track.

So yes, after converting a route from a track to a route you have to do some checking.

This is the only meaningful statement indeed, but it needed some correction too

fix this in the normal route view and I tried already with two screens,

Woa, in that case the following built-in method works a charm:
Click hamburger menu in left menu bar:

Navigate to TrackLogs and click "Add":

Select your track or tracklog:

Pick a color to your liking:

Now you see that the track is shown alongside your route in the same map/view and you can move and add waypoints to make your route match your track.

This method is also possible for comparing routes to oneanother and not only to tracks. To compare routes, navigate to "Routes" from the hamburger menu, instead of Tracklogs, and repeat the steps:

Thanks a lot for this information, thats really great and then its rather easy to fix the track

@Thomas-Scharrer it still requires manual labour but easy labour ... And the more often you do it, the faster it gets ... Practices makes perfect always holds.

@Stefan-Hummelink thanks for putting my description in "picture language". Only thing that is missing is getting wrid of too many meaningless shapingpoints. Toolkit - less shaping points - pop up; choose 25 for a 300 km route (adjust accordingly to your route).

25 for a 300 km

Depending on the route, but if it was intended to be curvy then 25 for 300km is definitely not sufficient! However, I do agree that deleting unnecessary shaping points is a good workmanship. Some nuance is in place here. In my experience almost always more shaping points are necessary than the auto convert mechanism used to replicate the track, at least for curvy tracks.

@Peter-Schiefer Hi Peter, I translated your message to be sure that I understood it correctly and my conclusion is that we live in very different regions.
You specifically mention passes, yea sure, passes do no not require many shaping points to force the route since not many branch-offs are applicable.

In my area though, I almost have to force the route with a waypoint on each street, to get my curvyness I like. I can provide many examples but I feel like I do not have to prove that it all depends on the whether you're riding in urban areas or in the country areas .

@Peter-Schiefer to "create" a similar experience to the Eifel, while riding here in my region, I have to select roads that emulate the same "curvyness" when joined together to into a route. Whereas in the Eifel, you simply ride onto one nice curvy road for 10km straight and 2 waypoints may work... I did that too while I was there.

I think we understand eachother.

@Guzt thanks for the info on adding the tracklog, I was unaware of that function! Very useful!
