Please can you roll back the new route planning as it is so rubbish. I want the old one back. It incorrectly categorises roads as off road. Really unhelpful as routes which are totally road come out as 63% unspecified. Using the old version it knew they were road. Please don't launch new versions until they work! Roll it back until it's actually better!!!!!

The new version also refuses to set waypoints onto popular off-road tracks that I’ve included in routes many times before, and takes unpopular detours instead. I have to revert to using manual mode so much now that it’s basically become unusable.

@unstubbable I’ve just noticed the same thing and I was searching for a thread about this issue.

I checked the tracks which the routing engine refuses to use and I can’t find a connection with the underlying OSM data. The refused tracks are sometimes tagged with motor_vehicle=forestry, in another case lit=no, and in a third example because of the addition of the tags sac_scale=hiking but nothing destinct, just a broken routung engine...

I am not renewing my subscription as this was one of the reasons I paid. Time to use something else!
