How to change route options in villages?
Quote from Kornfed on 11.04.2022, 12:14I am very satisfied using Scenic. However there is one thing that is very annoying.
when making a route Scenic avoids the centre of villages. Instead it leads me thru suburbs. Everything to avoid the centre of a village. Is it possible to change the settings so Scenic leads me thru the centre?

My guess is that it does this because the roads through center are ‘low speed’ roads, and this are avoided when you have fast or balanced routing. You could try changing to ‘short’ routing (but watch out as that will also affect the roads taken outside villages). Alternatively drop via points on the village center roads to force routing there.

using the main road is a better choise.

If short, is doesn’t take max/avg speeds into account. It just takes the shortest routes. If fast/balanced, It could also be an underlying error in map data. I.e. it doesn’t know that max speed in a woonerf is only 5 km/h.
If you want, you can find that out and report possible errors directly to HERE in two ways: https://scenic.app/help/roads-not-on-the-map-errors-in-the-map-data/
