Hi James,
Thanks for all the research you did before posting this issue.

I checked other route planners, and the outcome seems to be the same there, so your suggested fix to change the running track to a line seems to be the best one.
For now the only workaround is disabling auto-plot.

I'll bring this up with the devs to see if they have any thoughts on this.

Kind regards,
Julien

I am not able to map a new route that follows the running track in Soldiers Field in Rochester, MN, USA. I suspect the difficulty is that the track is mapped in OpenStreetMap as a multipolygon. In OSM, a multipolygon is a type of area. This allows the track's width to be represented on the map.

I could edit it, deleting the track and then recreating it as a line. But, I suspect whoever chose to represent the track as a multipolygon would object.

I've left a note on OSM asking about this..
