Wenn ich eine gespeicherte Route bearbeite und dann wieder abspeichern will, kann ich die ursprüngliche Route nicht überschreiben-sondern muss die geänderte Route frisch abspeichern.
Ich meine das war mal anders...

[devemux86]

If you use the same name an overwrite question is asked, so you can overwrite it.

[WolfgangZ42]

In version 5.9.2-b3, the name was automatically assigned when saving the modified route—but this is no longer the case in version 5.9.2.

[devemux86]

I understand now what you mean, it will be fixed in the next update.

Updated to 5.9.4. today and went for a motorcycle tour.

After my return I did my "usual housekeeping", i.e.

• saved the recorded GPS track to "My collection"
• exported the recorded track as GPX file
• deleted the driven route + overlay

After checking the two checkboxes to delete route + overlay and confirming the dialog, both the route and the overlay remained visible on the map. I tried again because I thought I might have screwed something up - with the same result: the items remained visible.

So I completely closed the app and restarted it.
After the restart, finally both route and overlay were not displayed anymore without any further action on my part.

Might there be some "refreshing the map display issue" after the delete process @devemux86?

[devemux86]

@bios4 Thanks for the report, it seems a refresh case.

I tested it here and the overlay + route are removed.

What Android do you use?
Does it happen always?
Can you share a route that happens?

[bios4]

I'm not sure about the Android version on the bike's phone and unfortunately can't check because I am not near the bike for the remaining weekend. I think it is 15 (running on a Galaxy A52)...

I can't reproduce the issue with today's route (attached below) and without the GPS recording on my non-bike-phone with Android 16.

I just went out to the garage and tested it right away—it works.

[bios4]

Modify the route and track overlays directly on the map

When an overlay is displayed, it is not deleted from the map when using the Main > Routing > Delete path...

When trying with the new option by long-pressing a waypoint > Delete then the overlay is properly removed.

Please check...

[devemux86]

Menu "Routing | Clear | Overlay" clears the overlays that were imported with the menu "Routing | Import".
(they are hosted in the special groups "Imported tracks" and "Imported favorites" in my collection)

Line overlays in the other normal groups in my collection are managed through their own menus.

Thanks for the new version. I'm reporting an issue that has persisted since at least version 5.9.7, including this 5.9.8. The road surface display in the section I'm highlighting (Strada militare del Colle dell'Assietta https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/154688011) is incorrect; it's not marked as off-road. I've attached GPX and Kurviger files of the section, along with images of my Cruiser settings and OSM data from QGIS. Motorider map theme and updated Mapsforge maps. The final part of the track shows the correct off-road contours.
If there are any settings I need to correct, please let me know.

@FishEy3 I am 99% road-rider, but this is what I see on my device:

I set my off-road routing profile to "brown" and the off-road colour to green. Aside from me not having the hillshading enabled, is this what you expect to see? The brown section at the top-right coincides with the asphalt section of the road according to OSM.

[FishEy3]

@MotoUKRider
Yes, I expect to see a different color for off-road terrain.
The road I reported is this one (Strada militare del Colle dell'Assietta https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/154688011 ), and OpenStreetMap declares it to be surface gravel, tracktype grade 3.
I included the link because that stretch is several kilometers long.
I hadn't encountered a situation like this before, so I'm reporting it.

[devemux86]

As explained above, the off-road information is provided in the imported or calculated route by the router.
The specific kurviger route file marks as off-road only the last part of the route (image 1).

Apps cannot change this, unless recalculate the route to retrieve new data.
So if the kurviger file contains wrong off-road information, it seems a problem in the Kurviger calculation.

Especially as BRouter (offline) and GraphHopper, OpenRouteService, Valhalla
report the correct off-road sections for this route.

[WolfgangZ42]

In Kurviger, the potential closure overrides other routing information. As a result, only the last 7 km (which are not potentially closed) are marked as unpaved.

@devemux86

As explained above, the off-road information is provided in the imported or calculated route by the router. The specific kurviger route file marks as off-road only the last part of the route (image 1).

Thanks for the explanation; it helped me find a solution that suited my needs. Now I'm rewriting the route_information section of the kurviger file with the actual data from OSM (using QGIS and Python), which could originally be hidden by potentially_closed. Now the background is displayed correctly. This way, the VIA and SHAPING points remain the same as the original, and I use the route exactly as I designed it (recalculating with BRouter, while it works well, has different logic, and on tracks hundreds of kilometers long, it would provide different routes and results).

Thanks also to
@MotoUKRider @WolfgangZ42 @Leeb64 for the suggestions.

[Leeb64]

Lösungsidee:
Route importieren. Mit Cruiser ->Shaping Points hinzufügen<-(so nahe daß eine Fehlberechnung ausgeschlossen ist) und dann mit BRouter nochmal nachberechnen. Die Shaping Points können nacher wieder entfernt werden mit ->Shaping Points löschen<-.
