Snapping

[JohnBroughall]

When I come to save the route on the screen with a small number of Waypoints, I save it to a very small .GPX file. I then upload it to OSMAND Plus to use as the Satnav in the car.  Sometimes the interpretation of the route changes between the Waypoints, which can be very annoying. Once I have set the correct route, I would like the programme to interpolate between my Waypoint to give me a more reliable ' Route ' to follow.

Hi John,

different route interpretations of the planning programme and the navigation programme is a common problem.

Osmand+ can navigate tracks (AFAIK better than routes), so you might want to try this:

- Adjust your route to your liking
- Menu -> Postion List -> Convert Route to Track
- Menu -> Position -> All redundant positions within a threshold of 20 metres -> Mark -> Delete marked positions
- Right click in the Position List -> Export to file -> ....
- Upload gpx file to Osmand+

HTH.

Hi

Thank you. I have worked through your suggestion.

I am not sure how to Save the .GPX Track file. As far as I can see, I could save it as " CompeGPX Data Track  - .TRK.   Is that the way to go ?  ?

I am still left with ' Spurs ' on the Route which I would like to ' straight line '.

Are you saying that there is no way to get the Waypoints to Snap to the Road Centre Line data and avoid the Spurs ?  ?

I am sorry to be a pain.
