Planned route amended by Scenic on the fly
I don't know if you're aware of this issue, but I recently wanted to follow a short route that I enjoy and that is stored on Scenic. I loaded the route in the usual manner and set off on the short loop, and the navigation worked perfectly. However, when I was around a third of the way around the loop, Scenic directed me from the usual path. As I could see the planned route returned to the expected path, I decided to follow Scenic's instructions expecting to be brought swiftly back to the planned route. Instead, I ended up riding along miles of single track roads - not at all what I had in mind. After twenty minutes or so, the revised route passed a village I knew. But it was halfway back home! I stayed on the route to the following town where I found a place to stop, take some screenshots and figure out what had gone wrong.
If you look at the attached screen shots you'll see that Scenic directed me to turn right at via point 7, in Campsea Ashe, where I should have followed the road round to the left. From that point on, Scenic seems to have created a new route going back to my start point and then back out to the original loop where I had been directed off the planned route.
I thought the routing problems had been resolved, and Scenic had worked fine the previous time I'd used it.
Is this a new bug or something that is going to be resolved soon?
Thank you for your attention.
The planned rounte.
This is the actual path I ended up taking.
These shows the changed route. Looking again now, I notice that the via points 8, 9, etc appear to be as per the original route, and the final image indicates that Scenic was directing me back to my start point for some reason. I didn't notice this while riding as the roads were terrible and required my full attention.
One a completely differenct point. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but from previous experience, I've found trying to delete missed via points while riding almost impossible as the trash can is tiny and trying to press it while riding effects the steering as my iPhone is mounted on the handlebars.
I tried the same route again today and may have found the cause of the amended routing.
Barely after leaving home, Scenic redirected me to take a turn I knew was wrong. I stopped at the roadside to see what had happened and noticed it was trying to redirect me back to the start. Zooming in, I saw that the start and finish markers were a few metres away from the road!
I don't recall being redirected taking my route last time, but perhaps I missed the alerts since I the first sections quite well. Perhaps if @binwaa could check his route as well, it would be possible to see if the cause is the same.
It's worth noting that when I created this circular route, it was using Scenic with the previous mapping.
Could the threshold for hitting a way point be too close?
