Trouble with re-routing on self crossing route

On my last bike tour I wanted to navigate along a self created route that crosses itself two times. At the second crossing I missed the correct turn and the karoo 2 tried to re-route me. It seemed the karoo getted confused because it re-routed me to the part of the route I that shoulded be the backway. The device didn't notice, that it excluded a part of the route I didn't ridden yet. There was no chance to get to the right way. The karoo sent me back to home.

Does a possibility exist how I can instruct the device to reroutes in the correct direction?

During this ride the route / rerute appeared in some different colors. When the routing was on, the route was yellow and yellow arrows were showing the direction. When rerouting was active, the colour changed to purple / pink. Sometimes the route became red or blue. Where can I find an explanation of these colours?

  I personally had the same issue on a self crossing route, looking like an 8-shape loop. The re-routing engine suggested a red route with a shortcut to go back home to stop me entering the second part of the loop.

  I had to pause riding and remove the route, and had it again to continue in the right direction. I could continue as expected and my Karoo kept recording the ride without loosing the first part that was already ridden.

  Any views on this from other users?

  Here is the route to illustrate :

  Despite all the other problems with rerouting, I can’t say that I have experienced anything unexpected specifically related to routes like this when I have used them. And anyway if you decide to do things in a different order, the Karoo figures out which part of the route you are on pretty quickly (maybe after ~500 m).

  My best guess would be that there was something a bit off with your route (or your GPS signal) so that the Karoo never saw you as riding actually on the route (already something like road vs roadside bike path seems to be too much in many situations) at the crucial section and then tried to do what it saw as the next best thing.

  I have this problem also on routes that loop about. The re-route feature should be able to be turned off or easily toggled.
