More tyre wear!

Thanks
T,he Via points ( waypoints) seem to jump around all over the place. Intentional? Or do they all need shuffling into some sort of order?

@ Paul08

please explain ' jump all over the place' as I don't understand. Nothing 'jumping' here!!

 

[Deleted account 250722001]

Looked at it in BC again and can't find a way to replicate what you are doing- any clues please Paul08 ?

 

[paul08]

The waypoints seem to be random. Eg on the attached photo waypoints 1, 2 & 3 jump around the map. And waypoints 12 & 13 are adjacent to waypoint 2

Sorry, my screenshot file is too large

ALL waypoints were made manually by me.
Most have a proximity alarm set to usually 3kms but some are less. That's just a helpful 'warning' before you get to them.
Route was made with City Navigator- and runs perfectly on BC and my Garmin satnavs.
I am guessing, looking at your screen shot, that you are using an app I do not know about and different mapping- this is most probably why you are having problems as the routing calculations will be recalculated by your app.

I have previously posted a track and I am now attaching a zipped file containing both the track and the route. It may help you but remember that that the route was built by BC using C.N,. map

NB the above zipped folder contains a .gpx file which has the waypoints, the track and the route.

Paul,

I suspect that you have MyRoute set to avoid seasonal closures.

 

[Wapping]

The route submitted does work. Here it is in Pocket Earth. It’s the magenta line. Ignore the blue one, that is just something else in my library.




Here it is in MyRoute, with the default setting of avoiding seasonal closures.

The road north west between points one and five is closed, so MyRoute’s default setting is doing its best, which explains why the route it offered up in screenshot two, bulges away to the west.



Here it is with the seasonal closures’ setting turned off. As you can see My Route has now joined points one and five together, the bulge to the west vanishing as a logical consequence.




The dead straight line across the middle is the Mont Blanc Tunnel, which MyRoute is taking in its attempt to join the via (shaping) points together.



I would agree with you though, that the OP’s route seems to have via (shaping) points oddly placed, which, by default, MyRoute is attempting to join up into a route. You can see these in screenshot two above.

Paul, as an after thought.
The waypoints screenshot shown I posted above are NOT part of the route calculation but are 'added value'.

Unfortunately, it seems that the ‘added value’ is probably screwing up the MyRoute experience

Is there still a road over the Mont Blanc to avoid the tunnel ?

@yakto. What programme did you do this in pls

 

[Deleted account 250722001]

As with all Garmin stuff, BC software and add a peppering of GE

Yes but it is a long way around a bloody big lump of rock.

The large volume of traffic took it for several years, whilst the tunnel was shut following the horrendous fire.

 

[paul08]

Richard : thanks for the explanation (and for taking the time to investigate). Yarkto’s other routes posted up have all displayed nicely in MRA, so I was a little confused.

Yarkto: many thanks for posting these routes up. They are v much appreciated

Happy to contribute/help Richard- without being a clever clogs, it may be worth reminding folks that any data/gpx/kml etc offered does not necessarily mean it works under every known and unknown platform and is is or is not suitable for purpose- perhaps best thought of as a 'skeleton' upon which to build each persons' personal trip.

I have edited this thread, moving Stever1’s specific questions over MyRoute into tge GPS section.

Can I upload a route into MyRoute?

I have cut these posts out of the Travel section. Richard =================

Indeed so.

GPX (the function by which GPS files can be shared) is not always a perfect science, not least as it is subject to the vagaries of different softwares’ own algorithms and preference settings.
