Yes make a lot of sense for a boat. I will explain:You define a route, a straighr line to the destination, but there is an island and the boat obviously MUST avoid the island, there is fog, a lateral current shift the boat from original route.1 the navigation sistem recalculate a new route ro the destination, the new route go over the island => danger2 the navigation system calculate a small segment with a new angle to return over the original route => no danger to go over the island Best regards from a oceanic skipper, 5 atlantic crossing and NE passage in Arctic Sea nord of Siberia from Japan to Norway.

Oh, sorry I didn't understand, text inside osmand seems more clear, According to the text inside osmand i see: navigation type: straight line route parameters: minimal distance to recalculate and minimum angle between my location and route. minimal distance to recalculate route: the route will be recalculated if the distance to the route is longer to the specified parameter. Ranges from disable to 1.5 km Minimum angle between my location and route Extra straight segment between my location and calculated route will be displayed until the route is recalculated. Ranges from 0 to 90 degrees I understand that if one deviates from the route(straight line) but not enough to trigger recalculation of it, then a small line will be drawed between the current position and a point of the route that fits with the selected angle, so instead of seeing the current position as a dot out of the straight line, one sees a small line leading to the main straight line.
