ios App: Possible to 'recenter' map on upcoming crossings?

Hi Richard,

would it be possible to 'recenter' the map, if ct detects an upcoming crossing, but the current location is no longer visible on the map?

Happens if you accidentally move the map and later approach a crossing. The ct app detects the crossing and un-dims the screen. Since the map still shows the previous location a few miles back, I now have to stop and re-sync it to see where to proceed.

Best regards, Hermann

Suggestions for Map-Page improvements

Hi Richard,

I have two suggestions to improve the tour-planning experience on the map page (web):

1. make the color of the calculated route dependent on the selected map background. I prefer CycleOSM for trip planning, which uses blue to show cycle ways. This makes it sometimes hard to distinguish the route from the map background (same for OpenCycleMap). So showing the route in another color, e.g. in red, would improve the visibility when using these backgrounds.

 2. In my opinion, showing the turn-by-turn instructions during the planning stage of a tour makes no sense. On the other hand, locating via-points I have placed on the map is sometimes difficult. So maybe the turn-by-turn list can be replaced by a list of the via-points with the option to delete or reorder them?

Best regards, Hermann
