Brouter web client: creating tracks without routing?

[Pierre-Felix Breton]

Hi,  I am new to BRouter and couldn't find related conversations to my problem, so I am posting here:

I would like to be able to draw tracks where some points aren't necessrarily relying on the routing engine to trace lines. This is necessary in places where the routing engine fails to allow to go through paths that aren't well sotred in the database, mainly in backcountry / off road locations.

The image below shows what I am trying to accomplish:

The pink line is the generated track.
The red arrow markup on the blue line is where I wat to go.

(note:  I am using a custom WMS background what exposes offroad / quad trails that the routing engine isn't able to rely on).

Thanks for your consideration!

There's a "hidden hack" for bee-line segments within a route. It works by putting a "nogo" circle covering the 2 waypoints at the start and end of the beeline-segment:

There's a more explicit featture in BRouter-Web to come, but that's still in development.
