Strange looping

#1 · 13.08.2026, 05:37

I am trying to make a fairly straight forward route from point A to point B. I am putting in waypoints along the way (including some stops). For some reason (starting this morning), Scenic is making loops from waypoint to waypoint instead of just following the road. I have “avoid unpaved and highways” selected. This is not new. This is how I have always created my routes.

In the photo uploaded…Stop 1 was waypoint 6 until I added 7 and 8. It then changed the waypoint numbers and looped around. If I change the STOP to a waypoint it seems to be fine. Also, I have to make many more waypoints to the destination or it starts looping between waypoints. Very frustrating to say the least.

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

When you drop a waypoint the default mode of the button is “auto”. Try tapping the little arrow buttons next to the waypoint button. The descriptions in the pop-up should explain it.

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 ❤️

I am not sure what has happened. I saved my original route using the multitude of way points to stop the looping thing from happening. Shut down the software, came back to it a few hours later and now, it is not looping at all, using the same routing but fewer waypoints (like it “used” to do). So, it’s all magic to me!

Thanks for the advice!
