I'm going to attempt to post a picture illustrating the issue but can't find any help on how to do so. I'm guessing I upload the pic to a hosting site and then link to it. I tired this but the image didn't appear in the preview box. Maybe I have it submit it to actually see it work? Here goes...... (if there is no image beneath this then it hasn't worked!)

Mark, thank you for your reply. No, you're not missing anything, it does appear to be working as expected for you. Unfortunately, it's not giving me the same results.
(As an aside, how to I post a picture in these forums? I can usually figure these things out but I'm strggling with the Insert Image button - how to I use the source box?)
I'll post a picture once I've figured out how to do so.
What I need to do now is work out why it's not working for me. I did wonder if it was because I defined a start time in the Timer section however after changing it to 00:00, it's still not working.
With regards the Timer section, I'm using the Walking profile and everything is set to defaults.
I'm trying to think what else could cause different results between the two of us?

Seems to me that the 2 hours are added to step 32, as expected. Am I missing something?

Hi,
I created a new route to try and rule out any strange corruptions that may have been present in the route where I first noticed this 'bug'.
It can be found here: https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2025466?units=km
Atter creating the route I added an extra direction (#31) to the route (outside a pub) and defined a "Stop Here For" time of 2 hours.
I then used the Timer function to generate ETA values for all the directions.
As you can see, the 2 hour rest stop is added to step 30. Because these are Estimted Time of Arrival (not departure) times, I would expect the 2 hours to be factored into the direction timings from step 32 onwards.
Please let me know if you need further information.

Hi Richard - rest stops are a relatively new feature so this may be a bug. Can you let us know which route it is and we'll take a look?

Hi,
Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere however I'm still new to this and struggling a little bit with the search function within the forums.
In summary, I've created a route and added a lunch stop with a 30 minute "Stop here for" value however the 30 minute value seems to kick in a few directions prior to the lunch stop.
I'd assume the time of the first direction AFTER the lunch stop would be the time it took to travel to this stop plus the 30 minutes for the lunch break. This wasn't the case. It was only a few minutes after the previous stop. I then noticed that the 30 minutes had been added a few directions prior to the lunch stop. Obviously this is not correct however I don't know if it is a bug or I have done something wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated.
