We should also think about the history, and why we got all these rerouting options.
At the beginning we had only “nearest waypoint” - the flexible version
(well and nearest point on route)
Then users complained that waypoints may be automatically skipped; see Rerouting changes the planned route - #38 by SchlesiM
As a solution we got “Next waypoint” (formerly called next unvisited waypoint)
Then users discovered, that you still can create situations where waypoints are skipped
So we got “strict navigation” - the strict version.
For users to understand the intention of this rerouting options and also for easy documentation we shoud only keep a strict and a flexible version.

Wir sollten auch über die Geschichte nachdenken, und darüber, warum wir all diese rerouting Optionen bekommen haben.
Am Anfang hatten wir nur den “nächstgelegenen Wegpunkt” - die flexible Version
(naja, und nächstgelegener Punkt auf der Route)
Dann beschwerten sich Benutzer, dass Wegpunkte automatisch übersprungen werden könnten; siehe Rerouting changes the planned route - #38 by SchlesiM
Als Lösung erhielten wir “Nächster Wegpunkt” (früher “nächster unbesuchter Wegpunkt” genannt)
Dann entdeckten Benutzer, dass man immer noch Situationen schaffen kann, in denen Wegpunkte übersprungen werden
So haben wir also die “Strikte Navigation” bekommen - die strikte Version.
Damit die Benutzer die Intention dieser rerouting Optionen verstehen und auch aus Gründen der einfachen Dokumentation sollten wir nur eine strikte und eine flexible Version beibehalten.
We should have in mind that since “Next waypoint” is currently the default, most users “report” to use that option. Important is if they tested all options and understand the differences and what they need.
I will test the strict mode today on a roundtrip with crossing sections. The other flexible options are also useful in other situations, for me less on a complex roundtrip if you want to catch all planned curvy roads. In any case I find it excellent that this flexibility is offered and realized.
is it possible that there are currently only two options for route recalculation?
next waypoint and strict navigation
I have now tried several times to drive a round trip with a detour. As soon as the recalculation starts the whole tour is gone, from 280 km it is only 14 km to the finish. My route has only 2 waypoints, one where the entrance stands and once refueling after about 120 km…
I’ve been riding with IGo for a long time. The main reason to use the kurviger Pro is the fact that it now has different waypoint variants, similar to Garmin.
Forming points, which define the route but don’t have to be driven to, and waypoints which have to be driven to in any case, because break, refueling etc. are stored, no matter if you took a detour or a wrong turn. But in principle the navigation must always try to follow the planned route as far as possible.
I had next waypoint. Because I was of the opinion, with strict, the navi always leads me back to the abandoned point. It should only calculate the few meters of detour.
There ist no nearest way point to select.
I will test it next time. Would it work with BRouter?
That is based on user preference and in Kurviger long ago users have preferred a flexible navigation model where can exit and enter the route anywhere.
Strict navigation was introduced in latest Beta after requests to navigate in a strict model. So should select that option if really want strict route following.
Or you go back to give all the options back. If possible, you can place beginner, standard or experts the options menu, so that user can set what they want. more or less options
