I see a way to restrict certains areas which is great. Is there a way to either manually add to this or to ask it to try and weight the routing a certain way around certain areas? My specific issue currently is:

example: this route from anywhere mid world heading west currently not going through the suez will map:

in reality all the traffic seems to go through malacca:

ideal route:

I am guessing it is going to route all locations through this section the same way.

just an fyi for anyone that strays into the same issue. Theres a restriction zone in the data that I dipped my toe into that either I missed in the docs or its not there entitled sunda. When added it then goes through as above
