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

Other than flying closer to your planned route, I can't think of anything.

Ok thank you @Tim.
I will try and fly the plane exactly on the magenta line and see if that corrects it in flight.

I have the same issue when flying from Lugano LSZA to the Matterhorn (world-famous "Toblerone" mountain) and back, which, conveniently, is a 270° heading almost after take-off.
If I set up a route in SD that is like this: LSZA dct LSZAW (vrp) dct Matterhorn dct LSZAW dct LSZA I have two overlapping tracks and I find that SD routinely picks the wrong one, e.g. it wants me to go back to the airfield even though I just lifted off. 
@Tim : maybe the "simple" algorithm could be tweaked to incorporate the general vector currently being flown; e.g. if I'm flying westbound I am probably on the leg that will get me to the Matterhorn and not on the other one, which brings me back to the airfield.
I'm happy to provide a route definition should it be needed.
Thanks!
