@ ENDURA SOON - you can right-click on the map in edit mode and select Google Street View from the bottom of the Map Inspector window - I think this is an improvement as you straight to the Google map

I'm very sad. For long asphalt routes (brevet examples), the Google planner was much better than the OSM. Now we will have to rule with our hands numerous attempts to "improve" the route, especially in cities.
Perhaps it would be worth thinking about dividing the project into 2 parts. Those who want new features would go to a new project, and those who need Google would stay on the old -

Hi Decor - the OS maps have only been implemented where we previously had Google maps at present (on the desktop route planner). However, subject to trial results we hope to roll them out to other parts of our site including the View Route page and our mobile app.

Having upgraded to Premium because of the ability to plot routes using OS mapping.
I am at a loss as to why when recalling those saved routes, OS maps is now missing from the drop down in MAP TYPES. Why can I only use it in the original creation, even though I am still signed in to my account.

Aha ... I've just spotted the problem ! I've just noticed that there is a tickbox beneath the BY ROAD button ... "Avoid Highways" !
It was ticked. I don't recall ever seeing that tickbox before ! Don't know how it got ticked. (Maybe it was me ... Maybe it's been there years ... has it ?)
Oh well. Untick and it's happy with using the trunk roads / A roads that it was avoiding before
So, as per my first post re dropping Google Maps ... I'm happy 😀

Can you provide an example Colin? Would you mind starting another forum topic though, as it's probably a bit off-topic for this one?

BY ROAD didn't work properly either. That's the problem ...

Julia - yes, the Map Inspector now gives you a direct link to Google Street View. The link will only be shown if you are inspecting a road.
Colin - it might be best to change the Auto-Plot switch to BY ROAD if you want to plot on a trunk road.

i have discovered the Map Inspectors are providing street views. I had found only one yesterday that did but more today. i had ignored them in the past since i didn't need the info they provided. But there are Map Inspectors which tell you to right click to get street views. So I'm back in business again!
