[mkgmap-dev] Bad routing on eTrex and MapSource

From Gerd Petermann gpetermann_muenchen at hotmail.com on Fri Jul 10 08:28:36 BST 2020

Hi Ticker,

OK, I've updated Basecamp to 4.7.2 now. When I change the car profile to "shortest way" I also see the long detour, so yes, that makes it more likely that mkgmap writes wrong data. Not sure if I tested this wtih 4.7.1

I'll try to find the trigger for this.

Gerd

Hi Gerd

There is something very wrong here with the routing here.

Apart from this example, I've never experienced the device taking a
long detour to avoid right turns. Testing with BaseCamp and shortest
distance on MapSource, the route goes the wrong way and makes a u-turn
- see attached BaseCamp trace - do you see this behaviour.

What could be a similar problem I discovered the other day was a
secondary road with a right turn into a alley to a car park. The device
and MapSource wanted to turn into the alley, do a u-turn, then turn
right out of the alley and continue on the road. BaseCamp took a 5 km
detour to avoid going past the alley.

I've also attached my modified test script.
