Very cool.
I noticed the waypoint that eventually becomes “6” has a line to it, then its moved, then another line to it…both times it doesn’t seem that there is a trail it is snapping to that causes the line to it. As opposed to the waypoint snapping to the nearest trail within so many pixels or whatever…is this the case or am i misreading that?

That is the case, and it is intentional / expected behavior. If there is no road, it will get as close as possible given the routing mode, then draw a straight line to the point. It might be to sensitive right now, meaning - perhaps it should snap to the road if within 50' or something - but that is what is happening there.

Makes sense. Looks like good fast progress

Awesome. The development of the OB1 app is really moving at light speed and is on a really good path to becoming THE app for overlanders. Great work. Looking forward to the next release.
