ETS2 has a ferry bug since its release.
It'll always prefer a ferry instead of roads, so you'll get strange routes.

Because ingame gps would route Oslo - Copenhagen delivery through Germany with this ferry enabled instead by going through Sweden which is less time consuming in reality. Game considers ferries as 0 time teleports and it makes quicker routes with ferries rather than by land roads.

becuase of that fact i think it is better to delete the ferry routes between Hirsthals-Stavanger and Hirsthals-Bergen

I agree. It may be realistic (I think) but it is annoying not to drive. Some ferries around places would make sense, like Portsmouth to Bilbao, but the ones you specified are basically obsolete.

Which is why you can simply customize your route on the map. See? Problem solved.

But we as a community are lazy and need the GPS to do that for us. One click? Why not just ask me to be a real trucker?

If you add certain long distance ferries the job market will prefer that ferry over the land route and thereby destroy the value of jobs..

I don't like to go in and change things, which maybe bad based on what Scul said
but as a lazy American, who relied on Google on directions, I really don't want to do that

There is actually one time the GPS worked in my favor: between Rotterdam and Duisburg the GPS will send you via Antwerpen, which is like a 6 hour drive. But if you go via Amsterdam and Arnhem instead it'll take you 4 hours. So you have 2 hours extra driving time and can still charge the customer for it.

You just really need to learn to go through the entire route and research every alternative. Also be wary of the GPS liking you to get off highways and then quickly to another, even though there is a very solid interchange not far away, in some cities.

But planning ahead yourself is part of the fun for me
