Definition of nearest point on track
-
I have been surprised a number of times when starting the navigation (as track) while being on the track already, between 2 points. Currently the app seems to find the waypoint with the shortest straight line distance from the current location. This then can result into the app sending me in the REVERSE direction (and this is especially surprising if the auto recalc setting is off). The path to the nearest waypoint can then be LARGER then the path to the next point on the track. I know that opinions differ but I still think that it would be more logical if the app would take the direction into account and start with navigating to the NEXT point on the track. If I am away from the track and recalc is off I expect the app to NOT calculate any path, in the same way as when I an following the track but deviate from it at some place.
