The route calculation has to figure-out what roads/paths on the installed map the loaded track appears to be following. It does that by "walking" the track.
They seem to start at the beginning of the course. Starting at the closest point would be faster but I wonder how often that is done.
I saw an interesting question on the 1030 FB group, a rider was on vacation somewhere, was able to find a RWGP route in his area, didnt want to drive to where the route start was located, instead just wanted a route from a different start to where he could then intersect the RWGPS route and ride from there. Seemed like a reasonable request. The older 1030 could not create a "ride to intersect" route, where as the improved navigation of the 1030 Plus could do this.
