Navigation Option Show "Original Route" Does Not Display Consistently
-
@Nick-Carthew yes the problem only appears if you try to start to try navigating with the device offline i.e. with no internet, no wifi connection
the route must be last edited in the web plannerif you open/edit on the device with an internet/wifi/online connection, it will recalculate the "original route" & you won't see the problem
as far as I am concerned this is a definitive hard reproducible bug
I can replicate it on 3 different devices with 2 different accountsnow I know there are several work arounds, it is not so much of a big issue for me
just a pain having to go through extra steps to get things to work
but as this seems to be the norm for mra, things never quite work as expected ... hey ho@Brian-McG when the Devs find some time maybe they can fix it For me also low priority

@Con-Hennekens yes that is what I am saying, it would be nice if someone could replicate
I am seeing the error in offline navigation
the route is edited in web planner - then synced to the device
the device is taken offline (airplane mode or wifi/network off)
the route is opened & navigationĀ started with original route displayedsometimes the web planned route appears ok with small errors as @Corjan-Meijerink expects
other times it can have larger errors & occasionally very huge errors
if I edit the web planned route in the app planner it seems to fit perfectly
I can understand the idea of trying to save storage, reduce data & speedĀ up transfer
if the errors were always small then I would say - not a problem
when the error is large the original track line can obscure whole junctions & makes it difficult to read the map
for me the problem is the original route is not displayed consistentlyI don'tĀ think a long term solution is to re-edit every route every time it is transferred/synced to the app
oh & don'tĀ forget the lack of contrast with a white original track
on the default garmin style map with this bug you can see nothing of the roads@Brian-McG said in Navigation Option Show "Original Route" Does Not Display Consistently:

Brian you absolute LEGEND! you found a work around! I just tried it. WiFi and 4G off.
Offline maps and the original route was all over the place, hit the pencil icon and BOOM it follows the exact route!!
This is such a great hack, I had turned off (Show Original route) as it was doing more bad than good.
The downside is being taken down a single track thinking I don't remember planning this only to realise it wasn't part of the original route.
Now thanks to you I can avoid that! Thank you so much!!!
Hopefully the MRA team will come up with a fix in the next update @Corjan-Meijerink more work your way mate cheers
