Perhaps c.t webapp could offer Google street view links in Germany now? (As it does in other countries).
Street View coverage is pretty good, as far as I can tell.
The routing engine will choose routes that cross fords. I think this is the right routing decision - in many cases the fords are readily crossed. Here is one that is not safe to cross after a rainy day.
Perhaps fords could be more prominent on the map view or mentioned in turn by turn directions. Then the rider could make a judgment call ahead of time based on weather and the size of the river.
Workaround: Some of the OSM map layers indicate fords at high zoom levels, but this is pretty cumbersome to inspect for a full route.
Or maybe this is unique to New Zealand 😀 and an edge case. I have encountered both bridges and fords on both paved and unpaved roads.
Hi Richard, please let me know if you’d prefer to receive feedback through the in-app mechanism.
It would be helpful (for me) if the “distance to next turn” countdown was more prominent on screen. I am far-sighted, and even with the largest iPhone this text is too small and lightweight. (However, I can appreciate it’s difficult to balance font size and fitting everything across all ranges of screen sizes.) In terms of information hierarchy, at that moment the “distance to turn” and street name are all I really care about.
The tap targets in the top right for re-centering (arrow) and map options could be larger or separated a bit more. It’s fussy to tap to re-center.
Sometimes the name of a street is read in a strong German (?) accent. For example, Birse street here. It seems a rarity and is mostly a curiosity, but I thought I’d mention it. The street name can be hard to understand in these cases, but it is clearly displayed anyway.
The app is super - and I’m really happy it exists. Nice work! 👏
