How long does it take before a route deviation is detected in the SDK?

A route deviation is detected and updated as soon as map matching deviates from the planned route. Therefore, the route is updated within a matter of seconds.

The deviation is triggered when:

  • The user is off-route for over 70-100m, depending on the road's importance. The map matcher informs the user when they deviate from the last point they were on the route.

  • The user skipped a waypoint but still followed the road geometry.

For example:
The user is at an intersection where they must turn left, visit a waypoint, and make a U-turn to drive back to the same intersection. If the user turns right instead, they are technically still following the expected route, but since they skipped a waypoint, a deviation is triggered.
