"View Route" page - Uneditable text 7 411 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 7 411 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 7 411 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 2 353 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

Map jumps around in navigation mode 4 482 Hi Jacqui,It's hard to know why without more details. I would check your Auto-Plot switch though to make sure you haven't enabled any of the drop-down options like "Prefer Off-Road". Also, make sure

Terrain Inspection 10 5044 Dark blue or black for road, dark green for off-road - I'd prefer one of them to be red. I know red's used for gradient but you can only display one type of terrain at a time so using the same three

Elevation Data Upgrade 17 4655 Hi Antonio - we're investigating, it looks like there may be a data void in your area with the new data. If so, we'll revert back to the old data for that area.

Terrain Inspection 10 5044 That's a good idea Garry, I think we always intended to add some of the Terrain features to the View Route page as well as when editing a route, but it was more tricky from a design point of view and
