Current: BRouter (web) does not generate U-turns.

Desired: Brouter (web) generates U-turns.

Generating U-turns (180° track returns) is very valuable. By generating U-turns you can avoid unclear or false turn indications.
Especially when navigating with "display off" and with TTS audio indication mainly, U-turns can prevent very serious wrong turn instructions.
How the confusion can arise without those U-turns can be found in the attachment with very short track examples including optimization proposal.
Examples of the current BRouter functionality and the desired more optimal function inclusive U-turns can all be found in the zip attachment here.

Please try this little test

And set the ' turnInstructionMode' in profile to e.g. 'osmand-style' - so you have some voicehint output visible.

Now export the generated route, you will find a left, left instruction.
BRouter web collects part by part so at the connecting point there can't be an instruction.

Now export the route with the small button between 'close' and 'export',
Now you find a left, u-turn, left instruction. Because this is generated with all parts in one step.
