Feature request: Option to lock in chosen route (Mapy navigation)
-
Hi, I really enjoy using your apps — both Mapy and Windy (I have a paid subscription for Windy).
I have one feature request for Mapy that I think would help many users. When navigating by car, I sometimes deliberately choose a specific route (e.g., to avoid tolls or drive through a particular area) and want to stick with it. However, if a shorter or faster route becomes available, Mapy automatically switches to it after showing a blue bar for a few seconds ("tap here to keep your current route" or similar). If you're focused on driving, it's easy to miss this notification, and the app switches routes without you noticing.
Two possible solutions:
- Let users choose to "lock in" their original route from the start, so it's never overridden.
- Add a sound alert alongside the blue bar, so it's noticeable even when you're not looking at the screen.
Thanks for considering this — I hope it's helpful!

@marco.hechtl Hi,
Since the latest version, it's possible to lock a specific route, but currently only for hiking and cycling routes.
I'll forward your suggestion to our team. Thank you!
