I just tried routing from Snowbank to Adams, and the route finder thinks the best route would include a nearly 9 mile portage on the Kek. :) https://www.paddleplanner.com/tools/route.aspx?routeid=25191

I realize I can manually drop points around the Kek to get past this, but I thought it may illuminate a small flaw in the routing logic. If not, I have already done the Grand Portage so why not do the equivalent on the Kek???

I think you posted this before - https://www.paddleplanner.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=8005

Here is the route with the different setting - https://tinyurl.com/28k7yzwx

I really need to change that default... I'll do that this afternoon.

Oops! Sorry for the duplicate! I guess you know a route I have been seriously considering. :)

I added a warning icon if paddle routes and hiking routes are mixed. Click on the warning icon for an explanation and an easy way to fix it (i.e. pressing a button).

I also added a warning if it appears to be a hiking trip that is set to double portaging (usually you are not double portaging a hiking trip ). Same solution - click on the icon for an explanation and an easy way to fix.
