Creating route in web and app

When creating a route in Garmin explore web, it does not follow pathways like in explore Andoird app. You have to manually draw it to follow pathways by adding a lot of points. Why is that? Why explore web can't follow pathways?

That functionality you describe is called, "snap to fit". The Explore website is much older than the app, and never had that functionality, whereas the app did when it was released.

The Garmin Connect website (and app) have snap to fit functionality.

Yes, connect is having that functionality but there are only google maps, Here and open streetmaps available and on those pathways are not visible or only partially visible. Much worse than in explore.

Yes. I hike, and I usually go to a hiking community website (like AllTrails) to find the hike I intend on making. I import it, into Explore web.

If you want to create your route on a map, CalTopo is very good, but you may have to pay a subscription fee.
