Turn instructions are not given in certain cases

[Rainer]

Hello everyone,

I mostly use OruxMaps for navigation on bike tours with turn-by-turn voice guidance. I create the routes with bikerouter.de or the BRouter Web Client, export them as GPX files with turn-by-turn guidance in 'orux style' and import them into OruxMaps.

I have noticed several times that turn-by-turn directions were not given. I have investigated this more closely over the last few days and have discovered the following:
If a route passes a point more than once, only the first turn-by-turn direction is given at that point. This is always the case when, for example, the outward and return journeys pass the same junction or the same turn-off must be followed. For example, on the outward journey, the route may require a right turn at a certain point, and on the return journey, a left turn at the same point. However, OruxMaps only gives the turn-by-turn directions on the outward journey.

The GPX files contain all the necessary waypoints with the 'turn instructions' in any case.

In a short test yesterday with a single junction on a route only a few hundred metres long, the turn instruction from the outward journey was only given again on the return journey after the turn. However, I have not yet experienced this on my bike tours.

To rule out the imported GPX files as a source of error, I tested the route planning with the BRouter app in OruxMaps. The same malfunction occurs.

Is this malfunction known?

I use OruxMaps v.10.7.4 GP and BRouter App v. 1.7.8 on an Android device.

Best regards,

Rainer

Hello,

Very interesting!
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution? I think it's a limitation of oruxmaps.

Regards.
