Route recalculation does not work after manual profile has been used

> Keeping it during recalculation makes sense.

= Correct.

@ Menion.
So in that other app (you know which one), manual sections are specifically marked also in the gpx navigation track as a beeline track section to protect and preserve if the general default routing profile is changed.

...Maybe a setting at recalculation "keep manual routing sections at recalculation"? And then I can deacticate it by default 😉.

With the manual trackmode, you bridge track sections where no routing is possible.

@Druki.

I think you rather expect a gpx (rte) route with straight lines between the (rtept) route points.

And only then using different routing profiles to get your track results.

Example gpx (rte) route in attachment. Something like this ?

To explain my usecases:

manual profile

- I plan rough directions of holiday routes over hundrets of kilometers to have a simple and fast overview by straight lines between points I want to visit

- I preview day routes with complex dependencies (what to visit in which order) by first creating a manual route and afterwards switching to car routing with calculation (known as salesman problem in routing calculations with several points and certain aspects of sorting without disturbance of unnecessary exact calculated ways)

- I measure land properties (areas in m²) with straight lines

- I use rarely the feature of having parts of a route as manual section (only for the described other profile routing usecases as a workaround for poor OSM data and then I more seldomly have to recalculate the whole route).

other profiles

- I plan hikes and sightseeing routes by foot, spontaneous (navigation) and long term usage (possible paths to walk) with calculations of altitude gain/loss

- I plan car routing for long distance and short distances, temporary (spontaneous routing to a destination) and longterm (holiday sections, distance and time calculations, reusable routes for navigation).

If I need to do several of that different usecases, I currently allways have to do the described workaround when switching from manual usecases to calculated usecases, because Locus assumes that I want to use the same routing profile usecase as last time. And Locus asssumes my usecase is allways calculated navigation with non calculated segments in it.

An other point:

Imagine you have a route for foot navigation with a partial manual segment. And the last thing you did was adapt the manual segment. You then save the route. The next time you want to edit the foot navigation part of the route, you will run in the problem of not beeing able to recalculate, because Locus suggests the manal profile from last time (manual segment) although you want to recalculate with foot navigation (exept the manual segment). Then you are forced to use the workaround of changing routing profile, abort, start route planing again with correct profile to do your recalculation.

One more: It is not possible to change from calculated routes back to straight lines (easy overviw with intersecting ways).

Hello Druki,

thanks for the explanation. It is starting to be quite complex to understand to me ... too many use-cases, sorry.

So firstly, the optional "Recalculate also manual segments" setting is doable, but I would like to create it as a last option.

Back to your initial post please, where I see a major problem:

"By default the last profile is being used (which bothers me)." ... what is wrong with it and why it makes a problem? Simply change the routing profile when the route planner opens. Maybe you start the route planner with the "Navigate to" method that immediately starts computing? Try the "Route planner" option instead.

---

As I think about it, the solution should be some kind of "Manual route" (old behavior) and "Manual route - sticky" (new behavior). Two manual route options ... hmm extra complications for basic users. Extra settings is less flexible but easier as most of users do not need to change it from my point of view.

Undo - Redo.

Undo-redo is not possible if you open a saved calculated route and try to have straight lines.

Indeed, you only dispose of undo redo while you are building a trajectory.
