I've found it to work pretty well.


Most people use routes created elsewhere.


Yes, turn the "recalculate route" off. That doesn't calculate a route back to your loaded route.


You don't generally need it to do that anyway. Just ride to the nearest place on the purple line.


I don't think the maps have highways as being routable.
