Hi all,

Sometimes when I do a round trip route it just gives me one way. Is that a bug or is it something I'm doing?

I enter start point and destination, chose road profile and then 'round trip'.

It's not complicated so I wonder if it is something in the software? 

Cheers

It’s just that the routing algorithm isn’t always able to find a round-trip. This is especially true of shorter distances between A and B, but it sometimes shows up on longer routes too where there’d be a lot of doubling back – e.g. it won’t find a round-trip between Land’s End and John O’Groats, but it will between Land’s End and Edinburgh.
