U-turns

Hi Richard, is there a way to improve how it handles U turns?  If you have a waypoint on a road/path and then add the next one in the opposite direction it behaves as if you were a car and routes you in the direction you were heading until you find a road to turn round on whereas of course on a bike its easy to u turn.  Came across when just wanted to head to a viewpoint but then wanted to head back in the opposite direction.  

In the picture below, the route came in from the south, selected a waypoint pretty much where the 7 marker is (top of Hackpen Hill) and then wanted to head back down the road so added another waypoint but it wants to route me all the way down to Broad Hinton and back up the hill again.

Thanks

Dave

Re-routes when I select show elevation profile

Looking at the 6 castles route, I zoomed in to look at the climb you mention at Churchstoke.  When I click to add the elevation profile to the screen, it recalculates the route - away from Churchstoke.  I guess the original route is missing a 'via' to force it the right way but why does select elevation profile trigger a recalculation?

Thanks

Dave
