Bug in Round trip Planning Distance

[Neil Bartlett]

New Zealand is a long narrow country. To plan a longer ride using the distance circle one must have a diameter that includes sea areas. The App should know that there are no roads in the sea and ignore that segment, instead it gives an error dialog box and refuses to make a plan. The sea should be treated in the same way as land with no roads.

And if you choose the North-West direction?

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master, North East I assume you mean
No I have tried multiple options, directions, disabled any avoidances to not limit the route. The hint suggests that this is a known problem.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master Admittedly I have a slow internet connection, but changing the direction does not seem to make any difference to the outcome. If I enlarge the circle enough to embrace the sea it fails to make a route even with the "Surprise Me" button. If only a very small section of the sea is included it makes a round trip OK when using the "surprise Me" button. We need to include a lot of sea to get a decent route as have to go up the west cost via Kapiti then cross the range to the Wairarapa and come down to Masterton before crossing the Rimuataka hill road (Highway 2) back to Wellington.
