Route planning strangeness
This is the famous Transfagarasan in Romania. The fastest and shortest route from the start to end is to simply ride the road. But if I remove waypoint 1, Scenic chooses to go back to the A1 motorway on the left, down to the bottom, up past the finish to waypoint 2 and then back down to the finish. This makes the route 1 1/2 hours longer in duration and 60 miles longer in distance. I don’t understand why the routing engine would do this, so I’m wondering if I have changed a setting that’s causing it.
I’ve got the routing set to ‘fastest’ but I’ve also tried ‘shortest’ and it does exactly the same. I have also ensured I have all avoidances turned off (including ‘seasonally closed roads’ and ‘unpaved roads’).
I’ve downloaded the appropriate country map and made sure it’s up to date. I’ve zoomed right in to the map and I can’t see any break in the road which Scenic might interpret as a no-through-road and try to go around. So what could be causing it?
Also, if I remove point 2, the planner decides to take a long mountain detour to the right on what look like very small roads to get to the finish, instead of simply carrying on directly on the main road.
I am sure this is something I have got set wrong, but what could it be…?
To be honest, the routing issues do not always apply to temporary road closures but seem to happen just randomly.
During usage of the Beta those problems happened and vanished from version to version. Sometimes it was absolutely not possible to create a useful navigation. And this is what also happens today - a totally weired route created by Scenic when trying to drive on the B27 and want to stay on that road and it‘s impossible to fix that even by adding additional waypoints.
Hi folks.
planned a route today. After saving the route i decided to change it to curvy-fast.
Below you see the result. No big prob for me cause i edit the routes anyway. But when you just follow the track it might be confusing.
Are we able to change settings for parts of a trip, like 200 km on highway and curvy afterwards? Couldn’t find it yet.
Beside my profil there is a red dot. Already saved may settings but it doesnt disappear.

See below screenshot.
Would you mind sending me the share link to your route? I'm not sure why this is happening so I need to investigate further. If you don't want to post it here, you can use the "email" button at the bottom of the Scenic HELP page.
Best regards,
Guido
