Hi everyone,
I’m reaching a breaking point with the Strava Route Builder (both web and app). I wanted to see if I’m the only one experiencing these issues.
Whenever I select the Trail Run or MTB routing options, the algorithm seems to lose all logic. It tries to force me onto singletracks at all costs. Even after adding multiple waypoints to keep it on track, the tool creates completely nonsensical detours just to stay off-road, making the final route a total mess.
On top of that, some trails are impossible to select when the MTB or Trail modes are active. However, as soon as I toggle back to "Run" mode, the path becomes selectable again. It feels like the routing priority is way too aggressive, or the underlying map data is filtering out perfectly fine trails for these specific sports.
Is anyone else struggling with this? Any tips to fix this behavior, or should I just stick to other platforms for planning my off-road sessions?
