Plan a thrill ignores avoid options, how to fix it?
Hiya, everytime I use 'Plan a thrill' I get a route using a ferry. However I do not want to use the ferry so I checked that it has to be avoided on every route in settings->route planning.
But Plan a thrill ignores this setting.
Now every time I use plan a thrill I have to go through this multi step process of selecting a destination, wait for the route to be calculated, wait for a message saying there is a ferry on the road, click said message, check to avoid ferry, let it re-calculate and then I can finally go.
With the setting enabled I expect it to honor that setting.
Is there any way that with 'Plan a thrill' I can avoid stuff like ferries and unpaved road without having to go through the above process for every single time I use the thing?

Hi
@WhojooHi
Avoid Unpaved roads on every route Ignored....
I recall this as being a compromise to a 'No Route Possible' error
When the Thrill route option was introduced, in certain circumstances where a user had set 'Avoid on every route + 'Unpaved roads', the device reported 'No Route possible'... When in fact there was a route possible but using 'Unpaved roads'
If you have 'Avoid on every route + Unpaved roads' (or one or more of the other 3 options) set and you want to pre-check a route....
After the device has calculated the route Tap the 4Dot (....) --> Tap Current Route... If the Route is OK the 'Avoid Toll and More' Icon will be greyed out
If the the 'Avoid Toll and More' Icon is highlighted Tap on the 'Avoid Toll and More' Icon
The option/s causing the problem/s will be highlighted

I wonder if similar rules apply to other avoids like 'Ferries' etc....
