Surely to a Yorkshireman it should be "Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooot"! Joe is the man

Shaping points seem to like faster roads, and can change how they want to

If the route comes from the Tread app - then the Zumo treats it as not imported. Its a bone fide route. The two - Tread and XT2 - are designed (it seems) to work that way.
If the route originates from the XT2, then it could have come from anywhere. It is treated as imported and is susceptible to RUT behaviour. Also, route points could have been placed anywhere on a completely different map. Such routes need to be fettled by the soft logic software which puts them on a nearby road.
If you change a route on either device it then has to synch to the other device.
Q. If a route that originated in the Tread App is subsequently edited by the XT2, and it synchs back - does tread treat it as a rogue route that needs to have soft logic applied to produce a route that is plotted on roads, rather than through someone's front garden.
Q. Does plotting a route on a parallel road eg A6 / M6 invite that logic to be applied. Maybe it thinks....It's on the way between Via Points. It's only like moving a point from someone's front garden onto the road.
I have seen some odd behaviour when I have been making changes (I change the name of the route by putting a full stop or two at the end). That forces synch between tread and zumo - and back, it seems. I like to wait for a complete pair of synch symbol to show: ie the orange Explore icon with an arrow poking it from underneath, followed by a blue rotating circle. I don't know what each means but it is after seeing that pair, that the route changes. I think the orange icon means it is sending data to the Explore database for Tread to pick up. I think the blue circle is the XT2 loading data from the database. But I don't know.
Anyone that knows anything about what is really going on could probably pull those ideas apart. But as I say - I'm just gathering information - sitting back and watching what happens and when. Slowly they get assembled into something useful."

The track that you included does not follow the roads exactly on my 2025.2 map. So I had to recalculate the routes.
There were a few differences from your track in Basecamp and my route as a result.
Thanks for that input - food for thought, and very useful.
