Skip waypoint while navigating a route

Unread post by berin »

Navigating a route today (motorcycle) I missed a waypoint. This was on a route authored in MRA and imported so the waypoint was slightly off the road.

The device kept trying to navigate me back to the waypoint until it finally gave up.

I couldn’t find a way to skip the waypoint - am I missing something or is this not possible.

See GPSrChive > Montana 7x0 > Setup > Routing > Advanced Setup > Off Route Recalculation and select the option here that best suites your needs.

Which do you have selected now?

It’s set up as follows:
Direct routing: No
activity: automobile driving
advanced set up>
Lock on roads: yes
Calculation method: minimise time
Off Route Calculation: Prompted
Avoidance Setup>
U turns
Interstate highways

But I don’t see anything here that would enable me to skip a waypoint

I would have expected the Off Route Recalculation = Prompted to provide a pop-up message asking if you wanted to skip the current route point.

There is no way I am aware of to manually select route points and skip them, but you can skip the current route point once you have 'missed' it.
