    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..

    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
