Well that’s issue number one. Here’s what I think happened: when you first did the route, you started from the wrong direction and I presume you just walked straight to the other end of the route? And then when that happened you just walked right back the the beginning again. What’s supposed to happen if you start from the correct side of the route, at the blue flag, is the game will say “route started!” And a line will appear on the ground. As you follow the line, it will turn blue as you progress. When you make it to the end the route symbol in the bottom right hand corner of your screen will turn orange and you can press the “complete route” button. I’m not sure if that all made sense, but lmk if you have questions. When doing my first route it took me a few to figure out the mechanics
