Sometimes Furkot may place a stop or plot a route differently than you expect it. There are several remedies when you need to correct it.

Stop ¶

When you type the name of a place or city or select from the Sleep , Eat , and Find drawers, its location may not be where you expect.

When searching by name, make sure the map is centered on the area where the stop is located. This increases the chances that Furkot will find the correct place.

A stop—especially one identified from a place name—is not always located near a road. For example, a coastal city may be positioned offshore, or a national park may be placed in the middle of a wilderness area. If necessary, you can move the stop closer to a road to help Furkot find a route to it.

Content of the Sleep , Eat , and Find drawers is drawn from a number of sources. If you spot an inaccuracy consider contacting the original data provider to correct their data.

Route ¶

Occasionally Furkot will propose a route that is different from what you expect. If that happens make sure your road preferences and mode of travel reflect your intentions. Try dragging the route towards roads you want to take.

Your preferred road may be seasonally closed thus prompting Furkot to route around it. Make sure your trip dates are set to indicate your travel plans and consider seasonal closures. Try the alternative route: it is calculated differently and may be more to your liking.

Furkot uses third party routing engines based on OpenStreetMap to calculate routes. OpenStreetMap is maintained by the community and its data may not always be complete. You can contribute to OpenStreetMap by improving the map and thus the routing data.
