Direct to next, when "next" is not on a right of way

Hi

I want to make a short tile-hunting detour up a lane then u-turn and back down again - pointing North West at marker "1" here - https://cycle.travel/map/journey/839898   

Cycle.travel won't let me go up that lane, presumably the mapping says there is no right of way. I've had a look on street view and I think it might be possible, I would at least like to give it a try. 

The purpose of my query is not to question the accuracy of the mapping, but rather to understand if I can add this detour to my route, regardless of the mapping data. I know I can use "direct to next" to make a straight line between two points, but as far as I can work out, this only works if both points are considered rights of way on the mapping. I would like to go "direct to next" from marker "1" to a point on the lane not considered a right of way, then back again.

Is there a way of doing this? Or if not, triggering some sort of reminder? 

Many thanks

iPhone app - map doesn't move when I move?

I must have pressed the wrong button at some point but I can't work out how to fix this.

When I start navigating, the green "me" dot moves along the blue route line, but the area covered by the map stays still and eventually the green dot moves off the edge of the frame, and I have to re-centre it manually. Presumably the re-centring should be happening automatically?

Cycle path in Athens

Hi Richard, hope all's well

I have to be in Athens for a while and brought a bike with me. Your routes have been very helpful in what can otherwise appear one of the least cycling friendly cities in Europe - so thank you.

One potential tweak noticed today - in the attached route (https://cycle.travel/map/journey/431845), there is a good 2-way cycle path running along the NE edge of the park, leading to an underpass to cross the terrifying dual carriageway running 7 o clock to 1 o clock. But the routing doesn't seem to notice this, and goes along the very unpleasant yellow road in a big L.

But on the whole, the routing is proving really good. There are pleasant routes, if you have someone / something to help you.

UK to Istanbul

Hi

Planning a trip from UK to Istanbul as a retirement present to myself, within the next couple of years. Two questions please:

a) I don't think the app includes Turkey, so it seems to take me to the closest spot in Bulgaria. 

b)  the app can't plan for ferry crossings

In both cases, a fix would be great - however I imagine there is a balance between cost of fixing v demand for fixing.

More importantly, keep up the good work, which adds to my enjoyment of cycling every week!
