I've been using Plotaroute for many years now and thought I had a pretty good grip on how to do things, up until I recently had to alter the beginning of a 70km track through Japan.
For various reasons I had to alter the first few kilometres of a path leading out of the city of Himeji, but because of the one way roads in some areas, I couldn't for example just shorten the track by moving A a few kilometres along and plote backwards, and similarly reversing the track temporarily so that I could just plot away moving B back to where I want it to be, and then reversing ends again, because the one way roads, or in the case of a dual carriageway road, forces Plotaroute to go on the wrong side of the road.
In the screen print below, I reversed the path so that B is now back at the beginning, and I tried to plot along the one way road the red arrow points at, but as you can see, it instead found its own path around the back streets to get at my click point instead of just turning the corner.The only way I can see to do it, and which is what I ended up doing, was to create a new short path for those few kilometres, and then combining it with the shortened original such that it effectively appended the old on to the new.
Am I missing something?
