Like CWTN mentioned, you either have a broken area in navmesh or you can try to update your MQ2EasyFind - MQ2EasyFind.ini file with coordinates might solve some of your issues.

you can create waypoints and then nav to those waypoints - but it sounds like you're more asking just for a route on the map - in which case you would want to edit your mesh with a preferred area and an avoid area
Here's where i originally posted these snips a while back
the "preferred" is still weighted against other stuff when mq2nav does its dynamic recalculation. I usually end up creating a custom weight with a heavy cost for MEGAAVOID around problematic doors. You can create area types in "Area Types" under Zone
and then i slap a preferred route in the middle

Anyone happen to have a mesh file they could attach that has pathing corrected so the puller doesn't constantly get stuck at the doors? I've made a semi effort to look it over myself, then my eyes glaze over and I give up.
did you replace it and nav reload?
if you
/nav ui and then render navigation mesh what do you see?Ninjapickle

well that's easy
you need to have your mq2nav set to click on the doors =p
do a
/nav ui to open up your nav toolsthen settings tab
then check automatically click nearby doors
and uncheck ignore scripted doors

in your debug tools you can check the trigger distance for door handling - is it possible your dude is smol and too far from the "actual" door bit?
You can go into debug tools under objects and "view doors" and see the distance the door is

He's not smol, so it's not that. I've tried several things including changing the distance to the door several times and still nothing.
I give up. Ok, not really. I appreciate the info from you, I've already learned a bit about the nav tool and now I'm just getting pissed off enough that I may actually be willing to try to learn how to use it just to solve this.

@oogey is having an issue where /plugin mq2nav is showing "mq2nav not found" despite it already being loaded. ${Nav} and ${Nav.MeshLoaded} both return back true - but API calls are failing, and as i said the /plugin mq2nav says "mq2nav not found"
I did the normal checks
1. installed directx 9.0c june 2010 to see if that would fix the issue (this is almost always the fix) - it did not
2. checked for app compatibility issues - there were no items listed in the registry for either mq2nav or anything mq2 related.
2b. I checked in both
3. ensured excemptions for mq2 folder
Any thoughts? thanks
edit: After all that stuff i did and several re-starts - it appears to have cleared up. took several dx reinstalls and moving mq2 outside of the appdata install directory - not really sure *which* thing fixed it, as it took several times and several restarts

you need to reload the plugin
/plugin mq2nav unloadthen
/plugin mq2nav loadthen your
/nav ui will work againits an imgui bug (which is what's used for that settings panel) its nothing you did wrong or anything like that

you might need to unload and reload the plugin and then do a
/reloadui and then /nav uiI don't think that a reloadui should impact the imgui window - but its possible
OK did all that....no luck even unloaded MQ2war ...nada...MQ2Nav loads...says it running in the zone... but still no control bar...This is on a laptop...it works fine on my PC...and use to work on the laptop....very frustrating....even reloaded the EQ UI Skins defaults...sorry Sic...I know it's probably some easy fix for you but I'm not a programmer 
there are lots of other solutions out there too depending on how you want to do it - i definitely don't think that the velocity check one is perfect - if your toon is able to move their legs while being stuck your velocity will wildly fluctate - but it will still be half or less than what your normal velocity will be. - but i have had good success with it.
Tone had a neat way of doing it, in his macro he would record where his toon was every so often, and if navigation was active in x time, and he was still at that location (current location with x distance of previous location) then he would call his unstuck function.
Anybody have trouble with the MeshGenerator loading zones? I haven't needed to modify a zone mesh in quite awhile, but wanted to tweak a couple things in Mech Guardian. Haven't been able to load any zones, get a simple message for any zone I try, even ones i've opened in the past. I am running this as administrator, if that helps.
make sure in your
File->Settings
that your navmesh path is your release folder
and then make sure you're opening the zone with the file->open zone (Ctrl+O) and not the zone->loadmesh
I was talking to Sic on discord today, about my chars not saving the destination distance. After one of the recent patches on the Redguides launcher, /nav ui does nothing anymore until i do /plugin mq2nav to unload and load again, then the UI appears. And then i have fix the destination distance on all my chars "/nav save" does nothing. It wont save it until my next session. So Sic is saying "I don't believe that the destination distance is an ini savable item" , "at least i don't see it in the ini". Maybe this is something that could be done in the future?
Well.
Evilking is saying that they are changing their Destination Distance in their nav ui and would like for that Destination distance to be saved upon and reused upon reloading.
I don't see that information available in the ini, nor in the mq2nav documentation.
doing a . and my quick glance at mq2nav code doesn't appear to load anything from the ini for Destination Distance.

doing a
/nav ini DestinationDistance 25 does create a "NavigationDistance=25" entry in the mq2nav.ini, however doing a /nav ini RedbotPowerLevel 9001 results in a "RedbotPowerLevel=9001" as well . and my quick glance at mq2nav code doesn't appear to load anything from the ini for Destination Distance.

My UI window no longer comes up and the game is somehow stuck with the mesh on. Is there a /command to turn off the mesh?
Fixing my UI is another issue altogether, unsure why it doesn't pop up, using default UI and everything.

Anyone running 3 or more windowed boxes have an issue where if you move your cursor over a part of the game window your cursor acts as if its a regular windows cursor and not a game cursor an you cant access anything in that invisible window. ive tried running 3 boxes on regular without mq2 or redguides running and it doesnt present the issue?
could it be the invisible nav window that vanished? how can i fix this please??
also if your running a box of 4-5 toons and have a bad pull when i switch to my enchanter to sleep everything im typing /end to get no plugin is running or i unload mq2enchanter but it still wants to run back to camp or memorize spells or cast buffs and i have no choice but to zone an sacrifice the other toons..Ideas??

That seems like a similar problem I had, my 6box has been going swimmingly except when i was auto-running with EQNav to crypts of dalnir and my shaman lagged off a ledge, and while trying to fix that scenario my SK got stuck off a cliff and drowned. Couldnt figure out how to turn the Nav off and it refused to stop trying to jump up a ledge that was not climable.
in your /nav ui window you can change your break behavior - this would be like pressing a movement key would stop nav
you can also make some hotkeys to stop all movement stuff - from afollow, stick, moveto, nav, etc
INI:
/hot StopMe 13 /squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav stop; /play off
/hot StopAll 13 /bcaa //squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav stop; /play off
/hot StopGrp 13 /bcga //squelch /multiline ; /afollow off; /stick off; /moveto off; /nav sto ; /play offSkeeballpants
