[BUG] Route gets changed at the start before navigation begins.
I want to highlight a real problem that some users might not even notice, but it makes route navigation useless or hard to trust.
This issue was already mentioned in the General Discussion forum, but it needs to be reported here as a bug as well.
When you load a route and start navigation, the system does a “rerouting” step that changes your original route. In my case, these changes always break the route I planned. It adds wrong turns, small detours, or even sends me over a fence to a different path running next to the one I chose.
The only workaround is to use "follow as breadcrumbs" but this is not a real solution, because it removes almost all navigation features. As it was wrote in the General Discussion post, this makes the Karoo useless during events where you must follow the route exactly or you get DSQ. The same happens if you play Squadrats. After the ride you may find out that you missed tiles, because Karoo changed your route and sent you onto a different forest path. And it’s very hard to notice that the route was changed at all.
Please fix this. It’s extremely frustrating. I’m using the breadcrumb option now, but it feels like being cheated i.e. I'm not using the full potential of the Karoo.

Why?!
If you follow the route that Karoo has prepared for you, you will be DSQ from this race.

OMG. After so many years of asking to disable auto rerouting, they eventually did it, but introduced another annoying bug.
The whole point of planning a route is to stick to it. If I just wanted to get to my destination, like when I'm driving a car, I would only set one destination point and set off!
Planning a route means that I want to follow it exactly. I want to follow the exact planned route.
