GENERAL / Unexpected Away from Route alarm
August 04, 2014, 04:15:49 PM
Recently started using Oruxmaps on my Android phone, and I am finding it great.

I am basically using it to follow routes created on the Fugawi UK OS 1:50,000 desktop software.

However, I have one problem that I find irritating:

If the route turns a corner (anything more than about 70 degrees), the away from route alarm sounds  80m after making the turn, and keeps sounding until I am 160m from the turn [80m and 160m are the min and max distances I have selected for route alarms].

If I check my GPS position, it is bang on the route.  So why am I getting an alarm?  I want it to tell me when I really am off the route, but not every time the route turns a corner.
