Displayed Distances for Favourite Locations

Hello Guido,

how are the displayed distances for the saved locations in the favourite folders are calculated?
I was hoping that this might change with Scenic 3, but there are still incorrect (random?) distances displayed.
To see the real distance you always have to open the navigation.
It would be ideal if they were calculated from the current location, but I would be satisfied if the correct distance from my home location were displayed.
Is there any way I can update this?

Thanks in advance
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

 

The distances are distances from your current location ‘as the crow flies’ / ‘bee-line’ distances / a straight line from your current position to that location.

Scenic cant give a real-life distance at this time, because that requires a route calculation and so needs to know the routing mode, and any avoidances etc.

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 ❤️

Ah - as the crow flies.
That explains why I couldn't find a pattern in the deviations. 🙂

Thank you !
