Route calculation does not match planner
Hi Guido,
I’ve been having various issues with scenic since the 3.5 release (I think? The big update/revamp early this year). Most of the time I’m not really sure how to report these issues, as they come and go unpredictably. Here is one where I can at least point to an example though (it is not the only time this happens, it is only one example that is easy to point to).
I have created a route in power planner. Well, it’s been through some transformations since then, but the important part is that I have created and edited it only using the iOS Scenic app. It has been edited and saved since the 3.5 update.
The trouble is that the route calculated when editing the route, and the route calculated when navigating the route, are not the same.
The saved route (which is the same during editing):
The route calculated for navigation:
You can see that navigation wants to take me down the interstate to via 1, instead of the state highway that is shown during route planning. Of course, I can constrain the route with additional vias, but that is not always very practical. Additionally, the behavior is simply surprising and unwanted: it is as if two different routing methods are being used. I do have the offline map downloaded; could that be related?
Here is the route link: https://scenicapp.space/route/wzfUuJdU
Aha! If I tell it I'll find my own way, navigation selects the original route. This still seems strange, since:
- I am virtually on top of the start point (see screenshot)
- Navigation to start of route should, well, take me to start of route. Logically, I would not expect it to affect calculation of the route itself, past the starting point.
So I guess we have a bug?
Btw. what Scenic version are you on? (You can see version number at the bottom of Settings).
Oh, sorry. I guess I expect that my iOS apps are always up to date, but I suppose that may not be the case. My current scenic version is 3.58.
