"Will my routes become different?" in Version 4 FAQs
Quote from KM on 14.10.2024, 14:26"Will my routes become different?
They might. The new map provider has a different route calculation algorithm and offers more routing modes. The new algorithm may take different roads between waypoints, a possibility that is low on routes with many waypoints. Still, I recommend checking a Scenic-3-created route before heading out on a ride with Scenic 4."
I've planned routes in Scenic 4 which when followed in Scenic 4 change to different routes. Is the map planning algorithm different to the map navigation algorithm? It is difficult to trust and use scenic 4 if it doesn't take you on the route you have planned in Scenic 4 and makes the App unusable. The off route recalculation is also pretty odd taking you miles out of your way on main roads rather than a short direct route.
