Sharing route with multiple riders

I am running a trip in Spain with a group of riders. They have all bern using the scenic routes I shared but are complaining that waypoints differ. This is causing confusion and I quote, ‘hating’ Scenic. What could they be doing wrong to cause this please Guido?
Thanks

Hallo,

 

ihr solltet auf jeden Fall sicher stellen, dass ihr die gleichen offline Karten habt und wie auf dem Bild zu sehen unten rechts alle exakt die gleiche Einstellung habt.

 

Beste Grüße

It could be a number of things.

1) How are you sharing the route? With a GPX file or with share link ? If either share link they should have exactly the same waypoints. With GPX a recalculation could take place and waypoint might become different.

2) Do they have the same detour behaviour settings? https://scenic.app/help/detour-behaviour-scenic/

 

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 ❤️

Thanks Guido, I shared the scenic sharelink.
What is the best way to explain the settings they should be using please?
Oh and please could you tell me where I can find your video on settings? Are all your videos in one place? Thanks again.

 

 

If you shared the share link, and they used the "add to Scenic" button to add the route to their Scenic account, then the routing mode (transportation, route type, avoid highways, etc.) settings and waypoints will be exactly like you planned the route. If, however, they used the "download GPX" button and then imported that GPX into their Scenic, then the routing mode will be whatever they set it to, and it's possible that waypoints also become different.

So... let's assume they all used the "add to Scenic" button, then there are a few more things to check:
- Like Kalrchen mentioned... make sure everyone has their offline maps up to date (Side menu > profile picture > offline maps). If an update is available, there will be a big yellow bar at the top)
- Make sure you are using the same detour behaviour settings (link in my previous post above) and same route recalculation parameters (Settings > Finetuning > Route recalculation parameters)

I don't have an up to date video on settings, but the help article above has been updated.

Hope that with this, you can get it to work.
Cheers,
Guido

Thanks Guido, that’s very clear.

Hi Hubcap.

And keep in mind that it makes a difference what kind of navigation system your buddies use.

May it be TomTom or BMW Navigator. In their settings they try to recalculate the route depending on the individual settings each system has.

Its hard to make sure that everyone in group gets the same result. And it isnt Scenic‘s fault. Too many factors.

E.g. Shaping points or via points. Targets and stops. Preferences like unpaved roads or avoid highways.

Good luck, Mex 😉
