           Summary: route recalculation interval/method very poor
           Product: marble
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: marble-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: henryokeeffe2010 at yahoo.ie


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 1.2) 
OS:                Linux

took marble for a test drive, and found many issues with navigation.

the biggest problem was route recalculation, one needed to go way way off
course before a route recalculation was triggered. given the speed with which
routes can be calculated by monav, is it worthwhile having a route
recalculation e.g. every 10 seconds? ideally if marble could determine when one
went off route that would be better.

the mothod of route recalculation can also lead to delays, as marble/monav
recalculates the route ignoring the direction you're travelling in. so will
calculate a route in a direction behind you, which means you have to go even
more out of your way hoping for a 'reasonable' route recalculation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
go off route

Actual Results:  
as above

Expected Results:  
as soon as you go off route marble recalculates the route , and the new route
should be in front of you and not behind you.
