Curvy Routing Timeout

Hi there. I'm trying to plan some routes in Spain (I've downloaded the offline map) but whenever I set routing to anything "curvy" (powered by Kurviger) I am getting a timeout error. Curvy routes are working fine in my own area (UK). Any ideas what's going wrong?

 

Using 3.04 on iOS 15.1

Could be a number of reasons, but my guess is that Kurviger is suggesting roads that Scenic doesn’t know or doesn’t think you are allowed on.

The way it works:

- You generate a curvy route between start , end and possibly some stops.
- Scenic sends those coordinates to Kurviger

- Kurviger sends back a longer list of coordinates.
- Scenic feeds that list of coordinates to its own routing algorithm.
- If some of those coordinates are not on roads that Scenic knows, it tries to calculate but it can’t. It shouldn’t result in a timeout though. It should give you a message like ‘route can’t be calculated’.

if it’s really a timeout, then it could also be a connection problem. Crunch route generation requires a connection (to connect to Kurviger).

To double check to see if it’s the first thing I mention, you could try and generate the route on the Kurviger website and then use the ‘send to scenic’ button on their site.

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 ❤️

Thanks for the quick reply! It was definitely the start point that was the problem... I moved that and it worked 🙂
