  Well done!

  Should be possible now by osm map update. The trailnetwork was not connected to the main osm road network. So entrance added.

  The Plotaroute engine (GH ?) does not route.

  But both OSRM and Brouter engine do route.

  Shawn,

  I had a look at that, thanks. Yes, you are in a OSM black hole. It would appear those paths are not in the database, so PR cannot auto-route them. Your only option is to use the manual "off" method, I'm afraid.
  
  I would be surprised if any route mapping app would be any different, given that nearly all use the same underlying OSM database.

  Mark, thank you again for the reply.  Since I can't autoplot on these trails I plotted the road next to them.  All of the trails to the right cannot be plotted on automatically.  This is just one example near me that I've not been able to autoplot.

  Could you share the route, please? Save it to plotaroute and post a link .....

  Mark, thanks for the reply.  Sorry for such a long wait in my reply, for some reason I didn't get notifications of a response.  Anyway, Yes I have the selection set to "on foot" with auto plot.  As you mentioned, there is a path showing on the map but when I click on the path it places me at the closest road.  I would prefer to use autoplot as the route I am trying to create is upwards of fifty miles and it would take a huge effort to manually route it.

  And if the OSM (Open Street Map) data does not show a pathm it can't auto-route one there.
  
  The OSM data is very good, but not perfect.
