How to Navigate Route as a Track?

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Lenny-O Go to the nav-settings in the menu.

Menu (top left) > Settings (profile icon top right) > Navigation setting > Functional. See picture below. You can choose to disable 'Automatic recalculations'. In that case you have to navigate back to the track yourself if you deviate. Set toggle to green to allow track navigation for routes.

Thank you, Rob!
That helps!
Though I would think that it may be way more convenient to make that decision on the individual Route level. Current way makes it sort of "Global".
I mean that once you call the Route on the screen, just before you start Navigating, would be nice to choose how you want to do it, as a Route or as a Track.
Also, will the voice guidance work when navigating Route as a Track?

Yes, it will.

@Herko-ter-Horst Sorry for the maybe dumb question. I can not change the settings. The selection switches are grey.

This is how it used to be! Now, you just flip the toggle. Why would you want to ride a route as a track one day and as a regular route the next? In fact, I think I’ll soon be using route navigation less and switching entirely to track navigation. I’ll create the route in the planner, and when you start navigating, you can be sure you’re following your route exactly as you planned it.

Thank you, Herko and Rob!
Rob, I don't know if I would always want to ... did not try it yet.
But what are we losing if we switch to the Track navigation vs Route navigation?
There has to be something... Comments on via points? Pictures? IDK...

BTW, is this option Membership Level related?

[Lenny O]

@Thomas-Neumeyer check the version of the app you have. Maybe you need to reload? Also, are you signed in?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Thomas-Neumeyer they cannot be changed while navigating
Open the settings when you aren’t driving!

@Corjan-Meijerink Corjan, does the option to navigate a Route as a Track have anything to do with the Membership Level?
Thanks!

@Corjan-Meijerink I was sitting on the couch

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Lenny-O I presume you have a subscription to the navigationpart, so no...

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Lenny-O no, definitely not

[Con Hennekens]

@Thomas-Neumeyer, that maybe, but you started the navigation module In cannot be changed while navigation is running.

[Con Hennekens]

@Lenny-O, no, it does not. Its a just an extra feature of the existing subscription
