Balanced not appearing. Default routing choice only fast short alternative. Why the change - me or a bug :)?

Hi. Balanced has disappeared from routing choices in powerplanning. It was default when I first downloaded scenic.
default only gives 3 options

fast short Alternative & some curvy options

 

any ideas why it’s changed since last weekend and how to get Balanced back as option and default please?

Scenic was updated to version 3.5 around a week / 2 weeks ago. Version 3.5 switched to the new HERE mapping framework, which does not have the balanced routing mode anymore.  In stead we added the ‘alternative’ routing mode

Why do I have more routing options when using the app on my iPhone versus when I load a route or set a destination in CarPlay in CarPlay? I don’t have curvy or extra curvy. I have fast snd short, but no curves options when starting in CarPlay.  Is that right and why?

Yes this is correct. This is because, when generating a Curvy route, via points are added to the route to make the route curvy. Sometimes this can cause strange loops that need to be manually corrected (delete or add via points). Due to Apple's CarPlay templates being very limited this is not workable on a CarPlay screen. So, if you would like a curvy route, the best thing is to first (while not being connected to CarPlay) generate that curvy route, check it, and when OK, then connect CarPlay.
