I am quite certain that it was a GPX route. My normal method is to use OsmAnd on my tablet to create the route and when I am satisfied with it I will save it as GPX and transfer it to the Android head unit in my truck which is running the same version of OsmAnd. Then I will load that GPX file and start the navigation.
But, I think you are on to something. I did have occasion to generate a route directly on the Android head unit in the truck and ran into an unexpected detour on the route. OsmAnd did inform me that I had been off the route for two tenths of a mile (or whatever) but it never tried to make me go back and hit the points I had missed. So, obviously, the next questions is: why do they behave differently? On Friday, September 27, 2019 at 4:03:27 PM UTC-4, Bart Eisenberg wrote: > > Are you following a GPX route?
