The best amount of poi for a route

Hello everyone!

Plotted a certain route I would like to know whether at the stage of creating the route, it is better to insert more or less number of poi inside the route and what are the advantages or disadvantages of the two solutions and finally if and how they affect the proper functioning of the app.

😉

In general, I recommend the least amount of stops and vias as possible to get the route to take the roads you want.

A couple of things to bear in mind for this:

  • Check the description under 'Settings > Navigation & Tracking > Detour Behaviour'. Based on that you might want to add additional via points / stops.
  • Place via points AFTER/BETWEEN junctions. Not ON junctions or just before junctions. This way Scenic knows better (doesn't have to guess) which way to turn on a junction.

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 ❤️

The more I get to know the app, the more I appreciate it along with the great work of its creator!

In my experience, if you want to create a route with many twists and turns or even loops, the easiest way is to add viapoints one after another until stop. This because when adding via x later on such routes, the app may misunderstand and make a not very sensible suggestion.

If I have already have made a route and want to add a loop or some back-and-forth strech in between, I place a few viapoints, one after another, on the existing strech where I want to extend the route. I then move these viapoints to the roads where I want to create a new strech, thus getting them i the right/wanted order.

Thank you for your valuable suggestions! That sounds like a very good idea.

I will definitely try to apply them to the creation of the next path.
