Enhancement to "Start another loop at end of route"

[PhilipAmos]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I like the idea of the "Start another loop at end of route" option but this only works if your route is a big loop.

What I would like to be able to do is do a lead in to a loop and then loop around that loop.

Describe the solution you'd like
Get the option to choose "Start another loop at end of route" for a route that has a lead in to a loop.

Describe alternatives you've considered
At the moment you have to keep plotting the loop which means you have to know in advance how many loops you will be performing.

Additional context
Here is an example of a loop with a lead in that I ike to ride.:

I like this 👍

How about this:
In route builder when you click a segment again that you already have in your route, the app could ask “do you want to build a loop?”.
If you respond positive it can mark the segments from the start to that one as lead-in and the rest as the loop.

[PhilipAmos]

Sounds good to me.

@PhilipAmos the visuals aren't quite there yet but this is an example of a route that has a lead-in followed by a loop:

Improved the UI in the side bar for this, what do you think?

[PhilipAmos]

I think the second one looks good.

[sandermvanvliet]

Improved it a bit more:

Lead in segments are shown with a dashed line on the map too:

Need to do some in-game testing to see if the new route format works as expected, once that's done I'll cut a new release 👍

[sandermvanvliet]

It’s looking good. Going to test a few more things to make sure the loop count works as expected.

[sandermvanvliet]

All good, this will be in release 0.6.6.0 👍
