[Feature] Navigate GPX route then navigate to start of same GPX route and start it again - effectively looping a course about locationsimulator HOT 4 OPEN

Isn't this behavior implemented using the autoreverse toolbar item or am I misunderstanding the feature request ?

Imagine a U shaped course with points A B C and D - current auto reverse would navigate from A to B to C to D to C to B to A and stop.

Ideally the loop would navigate from A to B to C to D - use map logic to navigate back to A then start all over again - continuously until told to stop. This would turn that U shaped course into a square box shaped course in this example. Hopefully the formatting bellow doesn't break and you can see what I mean.

A      D
|      |
B______C

A <---- D
|       |
B_______C

Thank you for the detailed explanation. That definitely cleared up my understanding.

The route from D to A, that MapKit will calculate is probably the same it calculated from A to D. So this would only make sense if you navigated from A to D using a gpx file I assume ?

Yeah that's the idea - essentially get to the end of the GPX route - navigate back to the start of the GPX route and follow it again continuously until stopped. This essentially allows us to create a circuit around a park that follows a specific course.
