Auto reroute after leaving route or track
Quote from bpbpbp on 29.07.2026, 05:30I don’t understand how to get me back on a route/track at the closest via/stop point after leaving the route/track.
I don’t want to be taken back to the first unreached point.
Like Google Maps recalculation.

I’m new to the app and love it, having only used Google Maps and Waze before.
I think it’s because I imported gpx as track not route.
I will try the settings on a route next chance I get.
“Guide me to the first unreached stop” could mean two things : (1) the first unreached stop in the list of stops or (2) the first unreached stop on my route closest to where I currently am.
I need the latter so that I can take an on-the-fly alternative route for a few miles, knowing Scenic will give me options to pickup the route again based on the nearest unreached point to my current location.
Thanks Guido,

Quote from Guido on 29.07.2026, 09:26It's the first one. This is intentional / as designed because Scenic doesn't automatically assume you want to skip stops you added to your route. If you want to skip stops intentionally (e.g. running out of time and want to skip that lunch break you added), you should manually skip that stop.
As far as Im aware, Google Maps nor Waze skip stops automatically.

Re #2, you go "off-piste" in Google Maps or Waze and bypass a designated stop or waypoint, the apps do not endlessly try to turn you around backward to hit the exact missed coordinate. Instead, they dynamically re-evaluate your position relative to the overall destination (or the next logical step in the journey) and auto-reroute you forward.
Eg if I dodge a congested town center by taking a detour that happens to bypass a waypoint I dropped earlier, Scenic could offer to (or auto) drop it or update the leg and keep me moving forward.
