I also am having trouble creating a route. Here is the start of my route. I am starting at an entrance to a rail trail and for the first 1.1 miles, I can plot the route with no problems.
However, when I try to add a point past Meadow Road, the program routes me back to an exit onto Hedges Street, back before to where I got on the rail trail and then routes me along streets to a point back on the rail trail.
This is super frustrating and using manual mode isn't helpful. This makes it impossible to plan a route. Any suggestions about how to get around this problem?
Hi @nicky
I've been experimenting a little this morning, attempting to build a route in the same area that I reported problems previously.
Before when trying to route along a long stretch of gravel track the route builder would not follow the popular route and detour from the direct line between two points. At the time I realised that I was using "Gravel ride" and/or "Prefer dirt surfaces". With either of these selected the route builder misbehaved. So long as I selected "Ride" and "Any surface type" the route builder seemed to behave as it had always done in the past.
Now (today) the route builder is behaving consistently with "Gravel Ride" or "Ride" selected and "Prefer dirt surfaces" or "Any Surface type" selected. I am able to map the same route without experiencing any unexpected errors regardless of the options selected.
I do still have an example of where the route builder will not follow the obvious path (A to B), however this irregularity has always existed at this location and required a manual adjustment. That is not a problem when it is just an occasional section of the route.
It feels like the route builder is now working for me as it had done in the past. Thanks for looking into this problem and the updates that have been made.
