Have noticed the routing is a little bit haywire in the last while. For example say you map two points a - b and they are like 200m apart, instead of following the trail that is right between the two it will route on an alternate trail that goes let's say 1km off course. I didn't notice this before. I cannot coax the app to align with some trails on the map. Happens on off road trails more frequently. I don't think there is a fix but if the devs see this maybe they'll look into it.

Perhaps you could give an example? Or at least where you are?
Are you referring to the app or the website?
It’s a gravel (offroad) routing thing. The challenge is that in a lot of areas, there isn’t much available offroad - or not much that is mapped in OpenStreetMap at any rate. So the algorithm needs a bit of persuading to find an offroad route, and sometimes it goes too far and ends up putting in unnecessary loops. It’s something I’m working on and the next update in a few days should hopefully be a bit less loopy, though I’m not quite there yet!
