Rerouting keeps routing back to point where I went off route
The rerouting logic has changed since a while and it got worse. Sometimes a road is closed so I have to take a detour. The rerouting used to be clever to then send me to pickup the route again a bit further down the road. Even if that is 500m or more that was fine and clever.
But since a while it just wants me to turn around. And everytime I pass a block it tells me to turn left/right. This used to be bad Garmin behaviour and was one of the reasons I went with the Karoo. But now I also see it here. It keeps rerouting to go as fast as possible back on route and tells me to turn left/right with every intersection. It is annoying. It makes much more sense to have someone reconnect with the route a little down the road but stay on a normal cycling path.

Hi Menno,
Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Karoo's routing algorithm! The Karoo tries to route you to the next closest intersection along the route when you go off the path. Our team has been working on optimizing the algorithm, and we have seen instances where it can be further improved. I will be sure to share your feedback with the team for their reference.

The rerouting at hammerhead is really bad.
I had a Wahoo bolt v2 before and it really annoyed me. Due to the poor reception, it always lost navigation and said you were in the wrong place. But the good thing was that it at least informed you that you were wrong.
With the Karoo, you take a wrong turn and there is no information for a very long time. At some point you realize that you are wrong.
Why is that?
Even my Garmin Fenix 3 from 2015 informed me that I was wrong after a short deviation from the route.
