Force route?
I planned a route on my PC using Komoot, that contains sections of which the K2 thinks that they are not suitable for bikes. There was indeed one short section where bikes are not allowed but which is common shortcut used by mountainbikers around here. But the other section is definitely a road allowed for bikers.
The presence of such sections causes the K2 to basically just ignore the planned route and trying to lead you around those sections (which partly results in hilarious detours straight up the mountain). Is there a way to tell the K2 to just go with the planned route and ignore all that? If no, will this be added? I mean, I planned it that way for a reason, so I want to take this route and not another.
Edit: I now had a look on OSM, and the road of which I said it is allowed for bikes, is actually also marked for bike use there. So why would the K2 route me away from it and lead me onto a way steeper road which only theoretically is suitable for bikes (and not explicitly marked as bike road)

Ok, I think I know whats going on:
The problem seems to come from the fact, that I first created the route, synced it to the K2 and went riding. Since I did a lazy persons job while planning the route, it was all wrong and led me over the roads I was complaining about in the posting above.
So after the tour I edited the route on Komoot and synced it again to the K2. Superficially (preview etc.) it looked good, the update seemed to have made it over to the K2. But when I then start the navigation, it still seems to pull out the old but not new route data (just tried it out right now). Once I had deleted the tour and started all over planning it again on Komoot with using the correct routing straight away, also the K2 perfectly leads me over the planned roads after syncing it.
So there seems to be a disconnect of the data the K2 is showing and the route data it is actually using while navigating, once you did an update of a tour on Komoot. For me the planned route was shown in red for almost the whole way where it didn't match the old planned route, while the K2 tried to lead me over the old route.

Arhhh ok, I think I understand and I'm sure this has been raised before. If my memory is correct after amending a route, people where slightly changing the name of the route on strava/komoot etc or deleting the route on the dashboard then syncing again and as the dashboard wasn't syncing the latest version.
