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.
