I’ve gone in to the app and tried to create maps, i generally do loops. 
sometimes it creates loop perfectly, other times, it creates a loop, but it adds a few bits extra on the loop in different places, so it takes me maybe 500m, or 1 km off my loop, and back, and then continues the loop. I’ve put in detail for 100k loop, it might do 105km, but even 3 of that would be out and back to nowhere, for no obvious reason. 
it’s extremely frustrating, as I get this notification all of a sudden to turn back, do a ‘u turn’ and then go back to the ‘loop’ and try and correct it. It’s very frustrating.

 

now that I’m aware of it, I delete that part, but it is unnecessary and adds a degree of difficulty to something that should be straightforward.
