Off Course sensitivity

Hello

I use the navigation and I find that the Off course is very sensitive to a small deviation from the route - This cause recalculation (when off course is triggered) which consumes a lot of device battery and it also takes time for the recalculation to end.

Is there a way to set the off course sensitivity (say by a distance from the route) ?

Thanks !

No.

You can turn off recalculation. It's not always needed anyway.

I've found recalculation works...when the recalculated route is short....like a short detour with no other alternatives available. Otherwise the recalculation will take you to Timbuktu and back.

You don't really need the recalculation in that situation.

How does using recalculation help the OP if he's having an issue with recalculation?

Not Off Course sensitivity, but you can adjust the recalculation settings.

Activity Profiles> [Name of Proflile]> Navigation> Routing> Recalculation = Prompted or Off.

Personally I prefer prompted - it allows me to choose to do nothing if fixing it is as simple as a U turn, or have it recalculate if it is more drastic (eg. a road closure on my predefined course).

Not Sensitivity per se. But you can change the recalculation settings.

Activity Profiles> [Name of profile]> Navigation> Routing> Recalculation = Prompted or Off.

Personally, I prefer prompted - it allows me to do nothing if getting back on course is as simple as a U turn, or to allow it to recalculate if there is something more drastic required (eg. a road closure on my predefined course).
