converting tracks->routes -- poor matching against legit track
Quote from pleasantone on 28.07.2024, 20:58Hi Guido,
I've read the documentation I could find, and haven't seen any better hints on how to do this better.
I receive tracks from my friends which I import into Scenic. The tracks are generated by the onthegomaps website, and the blue line matches roads perfectly on Scenic's maps, so it's not a maps not lining up problem. If, for instance, the track is routing through a town with gridlines, Scenic will opt to ignore the track and pick different streets on the grid. If I'm routed onto a frontage road of a major freeway, Scenic will opt to ignore that and put it the route down the freeway. Can we do something like have Scenic perform the track->route conversion, and when they diverge, be more stringent about adding vias where necessary?

Best regards,

I was thinking about writing some code to do my own track->garmin route conversion, but it requires full access to an OSM map that might not match the Garmin HERE maps, and it's a LOT of work.
Thanks, glad you'll look into this.
