Check you Navigation settings. You can set a few things: automatic, prompted or no recalculation ones you miss your way. There is also an option for automatic skip of waypoints and shaping points.

Be a trifle wary with the auto recalculation setting. If you have a route programmed and, for one reason or another, a recalculation takes place you may find that the "new" route to your destination is not the one that you had programmed. I prefer to ride with the setting "off" and manually find my way back to the highlighted route if necessary.

Zitat von Yoda im Beitrag #6 Valid point and very good hint Yoda. I used to have an option set on "prompted". And I have all the time navi screen on "north up" to be able to find "logical way" to where I am heading. Just in case that I am really "lost" (typically in the city), I allow recalculation.

Zitat von skinneroo im Beitrag #8I use MyRouteApp with my Nav V and wow, how I struggled to get it to work properly (and I don't mean just MRA, I mean any method of reliably plottig a 'round-trip' route as opposed to a simple 'A to B' one, which is what satnav devices were really developed for. I went back and forth to the MRA developers loads of time, and finally (after many months of trying, off and on), I came up with an idiot guide for myself which seems to be foolproof (and I tweaked it many times, believe me!) Have a look at this and see if you can see where you deviate. These instructions are for the PC version of the program (https://www.myrouteapp.com/routelab), not the mobile-phone-based one. I should add that this recipe provides a route that you have to follow manually, ie if you miss a turning it won't recalculate your route for you, you have to go back and find it yoursefl! The MRA folk say this is how it's supposed to work and claim that it's a feature rather than a problem... Let me know if this works for you 1. Check 'Settings' > 'Navigation' > to verify that off-route recalculating is off. 2. Go to 'Apps'. 3. Choose 'Tracks'. 4. Select the 'track' of your choice. 5. Click on the 'wrench' on the top left. 6. Check 'Show on map'. 7. Now, check 'Convert to trip'. 8. Choose 'Start to finish' 9. You can now modify the name if you wish to. 10. Click on 'Done' below on the right side. 11. Garmin will calculate the route and save it in the 'Trip planner'. 12. Go to 'Apps' and then to 'Trip planner'. 13. Select the converted track and then click on 'Go!'. 14. Select 'End' in the following screen. 15. Garmin will now calculate the route.

Hi Freddy, |

Zitat von skinneroo im Beitrag #10 are you setting the intermediate points on your route as waypoints (must go to) or shaping points (optional and will be skipped if the route recalculates) I have found this distinction can cause all sorts of mishaps with 3rd party mapping apps, especially if you use the drag & drop a line method of altering a route. When planning, I tend to use a paper map with Google maps to zoom into junctions or use streetview. I then use the Trip Planner in my Garmin (Zumo 390) to knock up the route. Each intermediate point is a hard waypoint. If I change my mind I will manually skip the waypoint (I have set the Skip soft button to be on the screen). This method seems to take a lot less time than dicking about with Basecamp or trying to create a compatible GPX file in a 3rd party program or app. I get more reliable routing too where I want to go on a specific route, not where Garmin thinks I should go. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #11 I use this method a lot when I'm on the road and need to make a route, like you said it doesn't take much time. Sometimes I just enter towns I think we want to pass through, then pick a few at a time from the Recent List. If I use the town method I usually skip the town a few miles out so it does not try to take me to the town center.

Good morning my old Fruity, Progress has been made,(I think). Followed your instructions ,apart from I left the recalc route option turned on. This time I exported the route as gpx 1.0 instead of 1.1. Using this option saves the waypoints as via points. Although when the end destination is chosen, I still get directed directly to it. So, I chose the first point as my destination, stuck the unit in the car and drove past the first waypoint and it automatically started taking me to the next, so, fingers crossed, I am cautiously optimistic that it works,plus I went off course and the recalc works ok. I'm still going to mount my phone and use that for nav/music, as it is so user friendly with the myroute app installed. Will keep you posted. Andy |

A known issue with the Navigator (Garmin) when importing routes is the need to recalculate before it works properly. I have to do that when importing from Tyre Routeplaning.

Zitat von skinneroo im Beitrag #13OK, so if you did that it will just be a fluke if my instructions work at all, as is it definitely intended to work as a 'track' ie with recalculation turned off! I've just run another test export from MRA to my Nav V and rewritten my instructions in a bit more detail - see how this works for you and let me know what happens: 1. Connect up the Nav V to the PC and "Export" from MyRouteApp using the MRA 'Connector' facility to export your the route (call it, say, "myroutename"?) using the "BMW Motorbike (GPX 1.1)" dropdown option - the PC will say "Busy", then "The route is exported to your device. Enjoy!" 2. Unplug the Nav V from the PC and switch it back on if need be. The Nav V will then say "New routes found. Import to trip planner? (No/Yes)" - press "Yes" 3. The screen will then show a tickbox and "Route - myroutename". Tick the box and press "Import" 4. Check 'Settings' > 'Navigation' > to verify that off-route recalculating is off. 5. On the Nav V home screen, press 'Apps'. 6. Choose 'Tracks'. 7. Select the 'track' of your choice. (it will be named "Track-myroutename" 8. Click on the 'wrench' on the top left. 9. Tick 'Show on map'. and press 'Convert to trip'. 10. Press 'Start to finish' 11. You can now modify the name if you wish to. (I usually delete the prefaced "Track-" here) 12. Click on 'Done' below on the right side. 13. Garmin will calculate the route and save it in the 'Trip planner'. (it will say "Myroutename is saved to trip planner". Press "OK" 14. Go back to the home screen, press 'Apps', and then 'Trip planner'. 15. Select the converted track, and on the next screen you will see a display of the 'Total Distance' and 'Travel Time' - check they match expectations. 16. To double-check, press 'Map' and you will see the complete route onscreen. 17. Press the 'back' arrow bottom left to revert to the previous screen, and press 'Go'. 18. Select "End" in the following screen. and press "Start" 19. Garmin will now calculate the route. KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |
