Question about the loop hike

#1 · 03.11.2026, 22:06

Hi Guido,

I have two questions:

1. Why is a stopover always automatically created when I create a loop route?

2. Why do two detours keep appearing that then lead back to the route?

I can handle this because I check every loop route and delete those detours. I'd just like to understand why this happens.

Round trip generation consists of 3 steps:

Scenic chooses a turn-around point (that's your stop)
Then Scenic chooses 2 more points that will roughly form a circle (or diamond shape if you will) with the stop and your current location.
Then Scenic calculates a route between those 4 points. Depending on the routing mode and the roads where the points were placed on, this can sometimes result in these detours.

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 ❤️
