Can I join separate routes?

We can split routes, either manually or using the function to split at overnight stops, but can we join them? I can't see an obvious way to do it.

Why? Some of the route guides look interesting, but I'd like to be able to combine them into a larger tour. Similarly, some GPX routes published elsewhere are only provided in stages, but the stages rarely align with good campsites, so I prefer to see the whole route in CT and then chop it up myself.

I don't do this a lot, so I'm happy to do it manually, but perhaps there's an existing function I've missed.

Thanks!

App suggestion: indicate walking sections

Hi!

I've just finished the Rebellion Way. Yes, it's a set route (GPX), but using CT makes handling detours easy.

The Rebellion Way has a few short sections where you have to get off and walk. There's a section in Diss, for example, where you have to go the wrong way up a one-way pedestrianised street. The CT planner knows this and marks it as "pushing".

It'd be really helpful if the app could show that something's up here. Another colour would work for me (in the same way that blue and green are used for paved and unpaved surfaces), but a dotted route line might be more accessible. (It does show in the turn-by-turn instructions, but I usually just use the main map display.) The example in Diss is very clearly signposted, but some others I encountered were not.

Thanks!

Is “dim between turns” broken?

I only use “dim between turns” for very long trips, so I can’t say when this started, but for the last couple of days on tour it hasn’t dimmed at any point.

I updated the app (1.7) recently. I’m on a iPhone 15 Pro, and the phone was mostly connected to a dynamo charger. It used to work with this setup.

Is there any other information that might help?

CT routes through access=destination

Hi,

Today's route tried to take me down an "access only" road. OSM seems to indicate this with access=destination. That appears correct according to OSM documentation, but does cycle.travel expect some other tag? It normally only uses restricted roads and tracks if I put an explicit waypoint on them.

I've made an simplified example route.

Thanks!

Location (incorrectly) snaps to nearby roads

Hi!

I took cycle.travel (on an iPhone) on tour back in August, and noticed a few times along the way that sometimes it would try to snap my location to a nearby road. In some cases, this snapping behaviour would be so strong that my actual route would end up off screen at my usual zoom level.

The most noticeable location was Milton Keynes, and this is the route I planned.

This is perhaps the clearest example:

Here's an extreme case, in which the cycle path is way off to the left:

Here's another one (near Waddesdon, and I was actually on the red-outlined cycle track):

This wasn't a system-wide problem; I was also recording my route using MapOut, and that was able to locate me accurately. I wonder if there is some iOS API setting? I could see snap-to-roads being useful for vehicular navigation so perhaps it's a default.

Thanks!
