I usually use my GPS, tell it where I want to go, tell it to use Tour Cycling for activity. If the route is really screwy, then I check other options like Automotive routing with my GPS. If I do not like that, Maps.Me Automotive routing on my Android phone. I can't transfer that route to my GPS, but I can pick a midpoint and tell my GPS to go there and that often solves it. If that option is not very good, I use Komoot on my Android phone (free version). That sometimes gives me crazy routes but often pretty good routes. That also is a route I can't transfer to my GPS, but I can pick points along the route and manually tell it to go there. If Komoot give me a crazy route, pick a midpoint and force it to include that. If I do not like that route, there is the old fashioned paper map.
Not on my last tour, but the one before, there were two occasions where the paper map gave me the best option, half the distance and a good road. I think it was because the GPS routing was not giving much importance to a local highway (county, not state or federal).
