Skipping waypoints with the connected app and cradle works ok for me, tracks are a disaster.

Skipping points and trouble with tracks

That's good to know, thanks! What is it about tracks that doesn't work (I haven't used the cradle / app, just going on forum reports etc)
If you mean you can’t skip in tracks…… that’s because tracks have no way/via points.
Or did you mean something else?
Based on when I import a track from Kurviger, if I deviate from the track the connected app will try to route me back to a point on the track but it’s not entirely clear or consistent where along the tracks length. This can often be a point that I have passed 5 miles previously.
I may be wrong, but my understanding is that tracks shouldn’t be ‘navigated’ just displayed. If you leave a track its your own responsibility to get back on it.
Otherwise I really like the app, routes with waypoints seem to work well.
The Connected app deals with tracks differently than the way a Garmin device does.
As you have discovered, the Connected app effectively ‘navigates’ the track, as opposed to simply displaying it, as a Garmin device would. This can lead to some oddities, should you deviate from the track.
