    Hi Wendy,

    I haven't looked at all the routes, but at random I picked this one, where you said that you aren't able to plot from Jennifer Court to Zanow Street.
    I tried it and the footpath between the two Streets is plottable.
    If you weren't able to, it's probably because the auto-plot was set to a setting that isn't compatible with the characteristics the path has on OpenStreetMap.
    For example, if you try plotting this path "by bike", it works. However, if you try plotting it "by bike" and add the "avoid unpaved" setting, it will not use that path.
    Every time auto-plot doesn't work, it's either because an auto-plot setting is not compatible with the path you want to plot or because something was changed on OpenStreetMap and we haven't yet done the update to change the characteristics accordingly.

    In any case, when auto-plot doesn't work, make sure to check your settings and if you can't find a solution to keep auto-plotting, disable auto-plot and plot that section by hand.
    You can also check OpenStreetMap every time an issue arises to make sure the path has the right characteristics. If not, you can contribute to OpenStreetMap to help improve their maps.

    And if you want to delete that part of the route, I guess the best way would be to "replot section" tool, put the markers before turning onto Jennifer Court and after leaving Zanow Street and then you can replot the section. When doing this, make sure to either disable auto-plot or set it to an appropriate setting.

    I hope this helps and also applies to the other issues you had on the other routes.

    Best regards,
    Julien

    Hello, 

    I created a range of walking trips but the software keeps doing weird things and adding extra bits where I want to delete it. I'd like to put the walks on my website but currently they don't make sense. I'm in Australia and would love to find out if others have had the same issues and can help me figure it out. 

    Here are the routes: https://www.plotaroute.com/routes/all/viewed/1?MappedBy=591146&Terrain=Any&MinDist=0&MaxDist=&Units=km&Tags=
