Edge830 and using Trailforks - few life scenarios from Singletracks

HI Guys

while being in the mountains I have experienced following issues and now I am trying to find out a proper solution :

Scenario 1 --> Planned MyRoute in Trailforks as two rings connected as follows: A1->B1->B2->A2.

Imagin that after riding A1 in the junction I decide to go back already and ride directly to A2 skipping B1,B2. Having that course uploaded I am all the time navigated back to track to continue despite I am riding already A2. What should I do then - stop the course and upload with the phone the new one as standalon A2 ??

Scenario 2 --> Planned MyRoute in Trailforks as one Singletrack A.

I enter the Singletrack in the middle from side road and launch it from Trailforks. It turns me all the time to the beginning of the track and does not want to go from point where I am. Why ?

Scenario 3 --> I am riding offroad in new terrain and coming to the junction - there are two offroads from there and one that goes further near singletrack. I put destination where I have the parking place and most preferably it would be to go by last option combined with singletrack. Is there an option that Garmin joins my ride to the target that will be combined offroad with singletrack ? Without sitting on computer and planning that, just ad hoc being in the new area and willing to go.   I read there are some options to have Trailforks map as basemap but don't know it is correct solution.

Scenario 4 --> if the Singletrack is both ways, I have it in MyRoutes in Trailforks, I enter it in the middle from side road, how to tell Garmin where for mi is the end (right not left for example) ?

Thanks!
