A to B route redirection
-
I was out yesterday and had a great ride. When it was time to head home I opened an A to B route (non curvy) just for the fun. When I deviated from the route MRA worked hard to try and get me back onto the original route. It worked so hard that it even ignored my routing options and tried sending me down gravel roads and onto a Toll road even though those options had been disabled when I started the route. V 4.1.3 312.

@RetiredWingMan, Are you sure you did not add a curvy option? I have just tested it, but the straight line route to destination still generates a route, and not a track. Since in a route all route calculation is explicitly done to the finish waypoint, I don't see how it frantically could send you back to a track. You can test if it is a track or not by enabling flightmode, because we all know tracks cannot be calculated offline Also remember that in THE APP the roads need to be disallowed (off) where in the WEB PLANNER they need to be avoided (on) in their respective options.

I had something similar yesterday. I went off a planned route to a nearby station, and the new calculated route sent me to a gravel way that ended in a footpath.
I would like to simulate this, but how to do? -
@Con-Hennekens yes, I'm positive it was a route and I didn't select a curvy option. Yes, I know toll roads and gravel roads were not enabled. And I was in offline mode. This is not the first time I've seen this behavior.

Ironically, I had a similar issue just yesterday as well...started an A-B route, about 175mi from home. With about 60mi to go, I was in very familiar territory, and I knew every possible scenario of route choices to take, that were all within ± 10 mi distance between them all.
This pic shows the A-B drawn route, and the start of the deviation I took:
I deviated from the drawn route to the shortest route (the A-B route did not have that as the selected option) - AND FOR 22! mi, it tried to get me to do a u-turn and go back to the route drawn by the app.
It was not until 22mi later, the app finally redrew - up until then, it wanted me to do a u-turn
