@inkognito thanks for the replies.
Yes, Ray’s review of the S9P and snap-to-route (s2r) is a big reason why I finally decided to upgrade from my old A3P. That review placed the seed in my head and I finally pulled the trigger last month.
I’ll be sure to add this to the surveys. I imagine something along these lines is already in the works.
Definitely feels inefficient UX to expect users to manually create loops. Perhaps a better implementation is by having route types (out and back, vs closed loop, vs end to end, etc), to prevent the race distance issues. And s2r can adjust behavior based on route type. But again, I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes.
Anyways, I trust there’ll be a solution in the future and will make note of this on surveys. Thanks for the information.
