Details and small roads Map
Quote from peer234@icloud.com on 30.06.2022, 23:36Good day,
I am using scenic for a while started at version 2 now 3. I think it’s one of the best apps available. Love it very much. But there is always room for improvement.
I added some custom POI’s which I wanted to add to a route. To my surprise some were not reachable, there were no roads to it. I checked other maps and they were clearly showing roads (small ones but roads).
comparing to other maps the ‘here’ map used in scenic is very basic. Almost too basic for my liking.Maybe a strange suggestion but isn’t it possible to use other maps within scenic. Like the openstreet map for example. It’s much better then the ‘here’ map.

In some regions the HERE map has less detail than OSM indeed. In other regions it’s the other way around. Where do you live?
If it’s a specific map error like missing roads, you can report them to HERE directly: https://scenic.app/help/roads-not-on-the-map-errors-in-the-map-data/ (I would not go through that if it’s a structural problem)
I will look into making other maps available as a layer, but this will only be visual, and will take quite some time before I get around to it I’m afraid.
Turn by turn navigation over roads that are not on the HERE maps will not be posssibble, sorry.
Cheers,
Guido
