Something to add to your comment.

When waypoints are way off route/road and you're riding a route (not a track). How can MRA Navigation (or other navigation) hit those waypoints when they are not on the road or very close to the road.
Those waypoints causes recalculations just because the waypoints are too far off-road.

@Ton-Machielsen there you have it. The app is trying to get you to the nearest waypoint, that would be nr 18. Since you know where waypoint 1 is, you've driving towards that waypoint nr 1 and meanwhile the app tries to get you to go to waypoint 18.
The fact that your waypoints are not ON the route is not good but the aopp will disregard those of route waypoints and try to navigate as close as possible to thoes waypoints. Your problems lies in the fact that you didn't not selct waypoint 1

[Ton Machielsen]

@M-Schrijver Understand. That’s why I am suggesting a radius for the waypoint hits. If you pass the waypoint within that distance the waypoint is considered as hit.

[M. Schrijver]

@Ton-Machielsen
Ahh cause found.
You've select "start at nearest waypoint" that is Waypoint 18 in your case. Unselect this option and try again.

@Ton-Machielsen when navigating with the nex app is will go OK. If you would use such a route in lets say an Garmin XT, you would be in great trouble.
That's why we have and use MRA next

@Ton-Machielsen
There is already a radius. But this radius is limited for a reason. Point 7, 11, 12 and 16 on route shows why. It is normal practice that you do your best to place the waypoints on the road.

@M-Schrijver Where can I find this setting?

[M. Schrijver]

It is the first option below de "start" button

[Ton Machielsen]

Ha! Never seen that menu before!! Thanks!

[Ton Machielsen]

Any idea why I don’t get the waypoint hand and Skip Waypoint icon on the CarPlay? (see https://forum.myrouteapp.com/post/61333)

Remember I am on a bike. I have the phone in my pocket and am navigating through the CarPlay device.

@Ton-Machielsen Due to restrictions by Apple and Google the viapoint sign is NOT on Androis Auto and Carplay

[Ton Machielsen]

@M-Schrijver Is the “Navigate routes as tracks” option my solution?

That is a sensible suggestion - agreed, but I suspect the radius must change depending on the circumstances. Roads that are close together will require a smaller radius to be drawn by MRA, so basically, the radius info would just be telling you what you know you need to do anyway - i.e. drop the waypoints 'accurately'!

No. If you want route to be riden reliable. The route itself should be made reliable. A navigation cannot fix a badly made route.

@Ton-Machielsen, I guess this thread gives some "food for thought"
Great thread, that shows the power of an "old-fashioned" forum!

Ok, i'll bite. Define "a badly made route".
My take is that if the app shows the route i want to ride, the app should follow that route.
What's your take?

Meaning the "Skip Waypoint" icon is also not? So how do i skip waypoints? Stopping, taking my gloves off, taking my phone out of my pocket, click "Skip waypoint", dress up and continue?

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Ton-Machielsen yep unfortunately that's the case when using Android Auto or CarPlay.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Ton-Machielsen not completely true. As long as you stay within MRA its by design that MRA will save the day and keep you on the route, even if the route is not made correctly like in your example. However if you wanted to use that same route in a dedicated device like a Garmin XT you would be in for a real bad day with a messed up route.
