A mishandled dog leg junction

I reported one dog leg junction turn by turn navigation problem in Devon a while back and that got fixed.

I just discovered another interesting one in the backstreets of Todmorden!

This route snippet goes along Stansfield ROAD, turns left down Wellington Road, then immediately right along Stansfield STREET. Cycle.travel is treating it as one road, apparently missing the junction altogether.

No cues are generated for the 2 turns. 

Perhaps missed because the turns are so close together AND the first and last road names both begin with 'Stansfield'?

Another missed crossroads

I sometimes notice that the combination of OSM/cycle.travel/my Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 doesn't handle parts of routes correctly but I don't know which is to blame!

I will give examples like this as I notice them.

Fortunately, I am familiar with the roads below because there was no cue at the crossroads at 1 km so I would not have had a clue which way to turn. I was just told at the start of the lane that the next cue was in 3 km time, which was after passing through the next village. I did not have priority at the crossroads - white lines to cross so I couldn't just follow the direction of the road. It probably isn't relevant (?) but the road opposite is no-through.

Turn by turn omission - crossroads near Crediton

I sometimes notice that the combination of OSM/cycle.travel/my Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 doesn't handle parts of routes correctly but I don't know which is to blame!

I will give examples like this as I notice them.

On my ride yesterday a crossroads was not picked up. The Wahoo told me to carry on for 3.3 km, with no warning that I had a junction to stop at along the way!

It was obvious on a sunny afternoon but might not have been at night or in misty conditions.

Cragg Vale hill climb

This is the official Cragg Vale hill climb route. There is a very gentle slope up to the start of this from the sign in Mytholmroyd but I time myself on this section. It is 7.7 km in length with an average gradient of 3.8%. There is a steeper section at 8-9% for a few hundred metres mid-climb but overall this is a fairly gentle climb. The main difficulty is that the second half is over exposed moorland and there is usually a cross-headwind up there which can sometimes be tougher than the climb itself!

Auto-save?

Hi Richard.

I often forget to save a route after editing it and when I come back later my changes have been lost. I just did it again when my laptop prompted me to restart after an update.

Could you add an auto-save feature so that cycle.travel can come back exactly where it was when last shut down?

Thanks.
