Toggle Use of Retricted Roads 9 270 The roads I'm describing are identified with gray dashed lines down the center. Even if you toggle off 'auto route', plotaroute won't use those roads. For example, starting on one of those roads an

Toggle Use of Retricted Roads 9 270 You could just turn off Auto Plot for that example, but I assume you know that and get your point. A toggle switch would be good to get over annoying "restrictions".However, I'm not sure how the PR p

Toggle Use of Retricted Roads 9 270 It seems as if restricted roads (36.129206,-86.820714) are not used in route plotting. It would be nice to toggle access to those roads on - some of us have access to those roads! :) Thanks for a

Search routes by route name is difficult. 4 260 I am not aware that you have published any details of how to search routes by name and therefore you are free to change it. However you seem to have recently changed things and URLs that recently wor

Some waypoint symbols not mapped to GPX 5 437 Following up on this, I checked what Garmin Connect is doing when a course is saved as GPX file: They are simply using the internal name of the FIT SDK CoursePoint type enum (looks like the Java impl

"View Route" page - Uneditable text 7 331 Excellent. That sounds like the best of both worlds. Thanks for taking time to consider and for finding a good solution.

Location problem 6 505 Hi Ian - if it can't detect your location it is likely to be a permission issue of some sort. Have a look at the advice here to see if this helps: Why can't the mobile app detect my location?

"View Route" page - Uneditable text 7 331 Thanks Martyn. We're going to change it so that this automated text is only generated if you haven't added any of your own notes for the route.

Location problem 6 505 Did this get fixed? I just got the app and it looks good except that it can't find me. I was going to upgrade but don't want to pay if location isn't going to work, as it won't be able to track me en

"View Route" page - Uneditable text 7 331 The hilliness part of this is just a description of the calculated ascent rate. We describe it as "hilly" if it is more than 20m per mile, but looking at if again I think that should have possibly be

"View Route" page - Uneditable text 7 331 Well, the distance is factual but 'hillines' is relative to the context, e.g., urban vs rural or strolling vs hill walking. What one person thinks of as 'hilly' may not seem so to someone else. I fee

"View Route" page - Uneditable text 7 331 That's a relatively new change Martyn. Its automatically generated from data available to provide some basic information about the route - length, hilliness, terrain, shape. Why is it inappropriate

"View Route" page - Uneditable text 7 331 I've not noticed it before but maybe it's always been present, there is a line of un-editable text on the first page after selecting "view route". For example, on one of my routes it says "A hilly c

Combine route with different elements 2 274 Interesting question. On a map, a route can be plotted over any terrain, road, land, water. But if you want to apply different timimgs etc to different parts to represent the specific excerise, then
