Automatic setting start point.
-
Hi, I'm using mapy app mostly for planning outdoor activity and automatic setting the start point according to my current location is very frustrating.
Let's say, I'd like to check the trail from Pec pod Snezku to Snezka and save GPX but before I set the Pec pod Snezku as a start point the app calculate the walk all the way from the north Poland where I live
️ It would be very helpful if I could disable auto-setting start point and the app wait for me to set the start point by myself Thanks for considering this update. Cheers -
There is actually a solution for this.
I assume you normally start route planning by long-pressing on the map and then selecting "Directions", right?
Try a different approach: open the menu (the three-line icon) and select "Directions" there.
The route planner will open. Although the start point is initially set to "My Location", no route is calculated yet because there is no destination.
Tap "My Location" and you will get the standard selection options. Choose "Chose a point on the map", move the map to your desired starting location, and tap "Select". "My Location" will be replaced with "Position on map". Then enter the destination in the same way.
Alternatively, after opening the route planner, you can tap the trash bin icon. This removes the default "My Location" entry and replaces it with "Enter a starting point". However, that requires one extra tap...
