[KNOWN ISSUE] Problems creating Routes

[Wurfy]

UPDATE FROM STRAVA:

We're aware of a technical issue that may impact some Athletes who are trying to create longer routes.

Sincere apologies for this issue.  Our Team is working on a fix, and we will update this thread when we have more information. We appreciate your patience.

Hi

just tried to create a route for tomorrow in the app and it can no longer create routes. 
Does anyone know how to do this now?

I'm glad I found this thread as I was really upset with the Routes function.

It is really broken at this point.

For example the link below will open a picture of an official route (with signs and color coding and everything):

But Strava Route from the same starting point:

Oh boy.... so it's pretty useless atm.
And, like everybody else, I don't like the prefabricated 3 routes from your GPS location.
The previous random generator was way more valueable.

My 10 login badge I earned right now is useless 🙂

The new feature to see global heatmaps for the different sports is nice to have but not important. Important is that strava cant generate a 10km route with elevation in my area. I do not need to find routes where the 5 other people are running in my area. I just would like to generate routes like Strava did before. Each time random, always exploring nee ways and tracks. That was fun. The fun is gone at the moment. You van keep bothe ways of routing generation. Just let the user decide which to use. Please…

Happy running

Hi @Jane. Still waiting patiently. The random route generator is a key feature and a major motivation for me. I so enjoy running different routes at any time and at any place, I really was happy with it. I face the same things which are described here in the thread. Fun fact, I live in an area with flat in southeast, hilly in northwest. I use the German language in the app, I dont know the original name of choosing hills. Anyway, always when I choose the route suggestion to have elevation inside, I am directed into the flat land. Nonsiggestions for my local hills area. I am thrown back years as I have to manually create routes again, like many many years ago. So I am waiting patiently to have the feature back. For me ist is a subscriber key feature, if routes do not perform again, I dont need the subscription. 
Still waiting patiently.

Cheers

I don't think they care - it's been a while and multiple app updates made

In my region (Belgium) it looks a lot better! Sort of back to the old days 🙏🙌

Can you guys confirm?

It's still broken for me. It no longer generates routes everywhere. It just shoes me 3 prefabricated ones starting at my position and several others starting elsewhere (= useless) and none of them matches the parameters I specified. This is just so bad.

Same for me too, get three route and no way to re-search for more.

Any update on this? I will cancel my subscription if this doesn't get fixed. Ridiculous to remove such an essential feature.
