Questions about functional navigation settings

[Thomas Scharrer]

Just for my general understanding some questions regarding the functional settings.

• Traffic aware route calculation
  If this is enabled, does it have any impact on a planned route you are driving?

• Check for route violations
  Could you explain what this setting is actually doing or supposed to do when driving a planned route because its not completely clear to me

• Traffic aware route calculation

Definitely. If enabled and there are queues/closures, then MRA will dynamically re-route you as best it can. I've seen this in action, and it can be quite confusing if you're not expecting it, but the map will be marked with the blockage. I don't have an example screenshot to share, but maybe another member can post one up to link to one already in the forum.

• Check for route violations

The in-app help popup does give some info if you press the ⓘ.
I guess it kicks in if you ride off-route (maybe driven by the above traffic setting, etc), but I have never experienced that.

@richtea999 Thanks for the clarification

I think it is called "Check TRACK for routing violations"? That's what it is called in Dutch anyway

This options is there to check tracks against the routing on the map. If you start a track, It warns with exclamation marks for possible problems, for example going the wrong way through a one-way street, 180 degree turns, and other things the track dictates but are not allowed by the routing engine. In my experience most of these warnings are not really a problem, but then again I seldomly navigate tracks.

Ah - interesting! In Engish it is just plain 'Check for route violations' as Thomas typed, so maybe that's incorrectly labeled.

Maybe Corjan could confirm then (and correct the label, if needed).
