Quote from Old Man Emu on 25.07.2026, 17:29Make sure you review the position of your waypoints ~ Stops to ensure they are on the correct side of the road or not slightly down an off road. Divide roads are often a cause.
if you have placed a waypoint say 15 meters (?) away from where you actually travelled it will not clear it and will want take you back there.
if you have a stop at a Cafe but you park on the other side of the road it may not clear as you were not close enough.

When you miss a waypoint Scenic tries to route you back.
May be cause of road closures or you didnt reach that waypoint exactly, like Emu mentioned.
Solutions:
Skip the waypoint you missed on navigation screen (you can set it „on“ in settings) or set the recalculation method in the settings. Mine is: skip waypoint after 3 calculations.
Always control your route before you ride an change vias in case you need it. Its awful to enter a road for 50 meters just to realize you need to go back. Had this last june with 6 buddies.
Enjoy Scenic and ride safe,
Mex
