Skydemon Version 3.16.9.0
Have not had this issue before. I am using my Android phone with Skydemon and it has performed perfectly.

On the last flight the Next turnpoint kept changing to a turnpoint that was further along the route. Eg. missing navigation to the next turnpoint in the route.
When I returned home I flew the same route using the simulator on the PC and it did the same thing.

Has anyone else had this? or
is it a bug? 
or a setting I have inadvertently changed?

Is there a quick way to force Navigation to the correct waypoint while flying? just in case it happens again??

Thank  you in advance
Tony

This may be because SkyDemon decides which leg you're currently navigating (and therefore which is your next waypoint) by looking at your position and seeing which leg you're closest to. This is a very simplistic algorithm and works well most of the time. In the case where you've got a "return" leg crossing an "outward" leg, though, I can see why it might momentarily get confused. Does that describe what you were seeing?

Yes I think this is what is happening Tim.
While flying I thought that maybe the tracks were so close together it could cause this.
Is there a simple way while flying to get it back on to the correct waypoint?

Thank you
