Hi, quick question regarding making my own maps -- I made a ride map through Belfast that I'm generally pleased with, but noticed on several sections that my marker dots will veer from one side of the road to the other wildly, while in other sections it's a nice straight path to follow, as intended. Same for taking corners -- some corners are a nice transition that follow the road smoothly, on others the markers will thrust far to the left or right on a turn or almost seem jumbled before the turn is made, and I'm wondering what I might be doing wrong in those sections to cause this.
I did the original route using googles create route for a bike option first, and thought that might be causing the route errors (maybe a bike has more leeway to veer on a road or something) so re-did the map using the create route for a car option instead. Much better, but still occasionally weird. If this is just a thing that happens when making maps, I can definitely live with it, but I'd like to share any maps I make with others eventually, and don't want to be making rookie mistakes that can be easily fixed.
Any advice on making the route map markers lay out consistently in a nice smooth way vs my sine wave undulations is very much appreciated!
