@Con-Hennekens A bus mode would be great but I am not holding my breath on that one. I was hoping that Skip would mean Skip, nomatter where the point is.
I now tried Navigate myself (for the first time) on my test route and I also see something interesting. The straight line path suddenly becomes visible. The only line I was hoping to see straight away.
What you are seeing is maybe the effect of limited gps accuracy ? Because the initial direction is in the opposite way in your 2nd picture. I described this problem in another post (named definition of nearest point).
