Hi, When I use OsmAnd with car+caravan or camper and set a max. speed of 90 kmh or 95 kmh, and plan a route to a camping in France, I prefer it to take the highways and also the "route peage", so the toll roads to be there as fast as possible. I know from experience that this is much faster, especially with caravan, then taking a route over a shorter way being the "Route Nationale". With the old route mechanism (A* and A* x2) I could tweak the routing parameters by giving "massive priority" to toll roads that, despite only travelling at set 90 kmh, it would still take the "route peage" (with topspeed of 130 kmh). Theoretically the shorter route over RN roads is faster. In practice, it is much slower. I consider this a flaw in the routing mechanism and priority setting. It is not simply "less kilometers per hour over a shorter route = shorter travelling time" is better than "more kilometers per hours over a longer, but much more optimized route". Going with caravan or camper through small villages with traffic lights and other hindrances takes in practice much more time.
I did read the blog at https://osmand.net/blog/fast-routing/ . Very nice and informative read. If I prefer to really stay on the toll roads with my caravan. How do I do that with the new maps/routing. Can I still adapt the routing.xml (https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/routing/routing.xml) or does that no longer work? I see that the "Heuristic Coefficient" is still deactivated (https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/routing/routing.xml#L393C8-L393C61) and thereby using the 1.0. But the new routing is indeed much faster, so is that routing.xml still even valid? OsmAnd is now unusable if I really want to stick to highways and toll roads. Or I should take normal car profile and calculate every arrival time with 10-15%. Next to that: Truck/Camper and caravan lets you specify height, width, length, weight, etcetera, which is very convenient, but also with a big truck you really want to stay on the toll road and definitely not go through small villages.
