App Kept Telling Me to Turn off Planned Route

I had a route planned along a straight route for about 10 miles before next turn but the app kept telling me to turn off at unplanned roads well before my preplanned road. I thought the purpose of creating routes was so that the app followed them when using it. There really wasn’t any confusion about the planned route vs what the app was telling me it because it was a long very straight road.

Hi ! ,

Can you post a screen shot of that 10 mile section of the route or share a link to your route ?

Did you plan the route in Scenic or import it ?

Sometimes I found if you place a Point slightly off the “main” road it will take you down that side street and bring you back.

Also if it it a divided road it can be easy to place a Point on the wrong side of the road and the App will do what you are telling it to do, it will guide you to that side of the road.

in another App I found that it would not take me through the centre of town as it was a 50kph zone and the side street had no speed limit posted so the App thought that was faster.

 

Here is a screenshot of the recorded route. The really long straight stretch is where it kept telling me to turn right.

If i search for the fastest route to lake nockamixon it has me turning right on 611 and up that way. But I didn’t want to do that and it wasn’t the planned route.

Here is a screenshot of the original video lanned route that I wanted to take but it kept wanting me to turn right

There could be a few reasons why this is happening:

  1. You planned this route with an older version of Scenic (pre-3.50), and Scenic 3.5 calculates a different route. What happens when you choose "Edit points" for this route?
  2. Do you have the offline maps installed for the region? There is currently a bug in 3.5 where it takes long-term road closures into account when using the online maps.

Cheers,

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️
