This sounds like a bug. So, to be clear, after you imported the route, you selected it for navigation, then you selected 'Guide me to route' -> Closest Via Point: like so...

But it kept guiding you to the route start point, even though you selected closes via point?

If so, could you share the link to the route with me (through selecting the route and tapping 'share' button and telling me what your location was when you started the navigation (you can use the 'email me' button at bottom of support page for that if you prefer).

Also, what's your setting for 'detour behaviour' and 'via point pro mode' (both in Settings > Navigation & Tracking).

Thanx for the quick reply!

Yes, I did as you described. All options lead to Via Punt 1.
My starting point was Mechelen. So the closest point would be somewhere in Eppegem, near Verbrande Brug. I drove there myself, turned on the navigatoe and it started to navigate. However, again up to point 1 as the final destination. Route deviation behavior is on recalculation. Via point pro mode is OFF.

OK.  Would you mind using the scenic share link to the route? you can create through the Share button above the map preview  when you select the route. That makes it a bit easier to see the exact route as it is in Scenic and prevents any misinterpretations of the GPX file.

Done.

Hi there...i tried to reproduce the problem, but it seems to work fine here. I simulated location to a random spot in Mechelen, then I selected your route for navigation. By default it calculated a route from my current location to the route startpoint and then following the route:

Then I changed 'Guidance to Route' to closest point and got this:

Then I chose 'Guidance to Route' to custom point and tapped marker 22...I got this:

Am I perhaps misunderstanding your question?

Cheers,

Guido

Is your question more about how you can change the starting point of a round trip, while still keeping the round trip in tact, just have it start and finish in another place? If so, the I have to disappoint for now. This feature does not exist yet. I is on the list to add soon though.

Hi Guido, yes that's exactly what I meant to do: Import an existing route -> Navigate to the closest point on the route from my position. (making my current position the new starting point) -> Navigate me through the entire route to the new end point. (see photo for what I mean: purple line existing route, orange line what i want to plan) It is very cool that you can shift the start and end points in the editor. Only then the via numbers do not follow and you will be guided to number 1 with a detour. Maybe I want too much and it gets too complicated. 🙂

Well... with the functionality I have in mind you will be able to get to this point:

And then it will be just a matter of manually adding your own location and perhaps removing some via points.

That's great, Guido. However, I noticed yesterday that it works much better to just create such a route yourself in ScenicApp instead of importing it from another app. The route I made yesterday in ScenicApp was made very quickly and it took me to much nicer roads. Thanks!

Any chance that scenic can add points/via to each turn when a map is imported?  That would solve several problems with imported maps. Also allowing the user to change starting point.

Quote from Guido on 02.06.2020, 10:30

Sorry, no, that's not possible. Because when importing a GPX there is no knowledge of the underlying road network. have a look here for details: https://scenic.app/knowledge-base/strange-loops-while-importing/ (check blog article that is linked to under point 1)
