Problem with Bike Route Toaster

1. I can seem to plot a route that runs over an earlier part of a route. So, towards the end of a long run when I'm plotting the return to the start it doesnt seem to like me doing that. Any ideas?

2. Some junctions just dont "work" - I tried to plot a right turn at a t-junction but it just wont let me. Having looked at Street View on Google Maps I can tell that it is a proper turning, not a no entry or anything that should stop me turning into it.

Does anyone have any similar problems with the site? Or an idea whats going on with my route?

Thanks

    1 - Zoom in and place the finish marker next to the start marker but on empty road. It will then let you double up your route if you need to, the problem is that if you click on a road that is part of the route it thinks you're adjusting the route not adding a marker.

    2 - Seems OK to me. I do find occasionally there are bits of road that it goes nuts on but any that I've checked have been one way or no car entry from one end (i.e. bike only at one end). I'm pretty sure it's not 100% right on this.

    Noted re 2

    Re 1 - Can you tell me the difference between the start and finish markers then? All I see in the right hand menu are "course points" and "track points" and the difference between these is a mystery to me.

    Thanks

    Assuming you are using Auto Routing, let Bike Route Toaster draw the route up to the point where you begin having the problem, turn it off, plot the troublesome bit manually by pointing and clicking, then turn Auto Routing back on and carry on as before.

    Thanks very much. I worked this out for myself in the end - saving myself from a lot more swearing!
