Help with Android settings

Recently had an issue with my phone, had to re-load some apps and MRA was one of them. I have been using MRA for a few months and feel I have got pretty decent on routing routes. Did a little over 2200 miles and most of it was OK with MRA. Been on multiple local rides and all has been pretty decent. After the re-download of the app, hasn't been good. We went out on Sunday and this thing would not hold the route I planned, kept re-routing wanted me to take roads that weren't even on the route I planned. So please tell me do I have something wrong in my phone settings? Is there a way to shut off the route they wanna take me and only follow the route I want to go? Thank you for your help, please explain (if cell phone has wrong settings, why they are wrong) Screenshot_20250811_150626.jpg

I had a similar problem on my last trip. I restarted MRA and the route several times. Nothing helped. Eventually, I switched to Google Maps. And then I got a message saying that it was searching for the GPS! Strange, but then I restarted the phone. And lo and behold . . .
the problem was gone!
So it's not always MRA's fault!

Bij mijn laatste rit had ik een soortgelijk probleem. Verschillende keren MRA en de route opnieuw opgestart. Niets hielp. Uiteindelijk overgeschakeld naar Google Maps. En toen kreeg ik de melding dat er naar de GPS gezocht werd! Vreemd, maar vervolgens heb ik dus de telefoon maar eens opnieuw opgestart. En zie . . .
probleem was over!
Het hoeft dus niet altijd aan MRA te liggen!

@white.mouse I'm not trying to place blame, I'm just interested in seeing if others are having the same issues. As I stated I had to re-download the MRA app so I was looking for info to see if I might of had something set wrong. I did find a webinar on the subject and was able to confirm my setting are OK. I guess I still don't understand why on some routes It won't follow my waypoints, but on others it will.

@Rainer-Treichel, that a nice hand-out!

@D-Griffin, I do not think re-installing an app would make such a difference. of-course some settings can change behaviour, but there is no setting for effing up a route ;-). In general, for scenic routing, I tend to disable traffic aware routing, but since it is greyed out (you are in off-line mode) it does not work anyway. It could be that in your previous setup you had auto-skipp turned off. I think that makes the biggest difference concerning altered behaviour, especially when routes are not very well designed.

I should have recognized that from the many large pictures
Just joking @Hubert, job well done.

@Con-Hennekens routs are designed well. In the beginning I had problems with shaping point placement. I have everything dialed in pretty well now. The ride i took on Sunday after the re-download, for some reason wouldn't even keep me on the "designed route" just kept trying to bring me another way.
