It sure sounds nice to follow the route at 100%. What happens if the human trying to follow the route gets off the route as planned? What should the navigation software do?
Give up? Human made a mistake. If he can make it back to the route HE/SHE planned I will carry on. Try to give human directions to get to the finish the easiest/shortest possible way? Try to give the human directions to get to the start the easiest/shortest possible way? Try to give the human directions to get to the route (anywhere) the shortest/easiest way? For the last one, what if the easiest to get to is closer to the finish than the start and by doing so the human (who made the mistake in the first place) ends up bypassing a lot of the route he/she carefully planned? There are probably other possible things the navigation tool can do. As a newby to navigation software but a long time software developer, I can imagine the difficulties the nav software developers have in determining how to handle things. Just can't wait to get in my own self driving car and see how it handles these situations! I use OSMAND+ and have been able to both frustrate me and satisfy me. The only real problem I have with it is forgetting to plan the route with all the right options and setting up the app correctly (for example, my planned route was for biking but I had it following an automobile profile, sighs) If any OSMAND developers are listening to this thread: keep up the good work. You do not have an easy task.
