Transferring Long Journeys to GPS or CT-app.

Hi All,

I recall reading on the Feedback Forum concerning transferring long journeys from CT-web to a GPS or to the CT-app : that it was advisable to breakdown long journeys to a reasonable size before transfer. Unfortunately I can’t seem to fish-out this post again using key word searches so my questions are :

• What would be a reasonable journey size to transfer to the CT-app (android)? &

• The same question for a GPS (e.g. Garmin et al) ?

Thanks yet again for your help.

Dark Screen for IGN Maps

Hi All, 

I’m a recent comer to Cycle Travel website & I’m finding the route planner to be a fantastic tool, big congrats to Richard & Co. I’ve been bike-packing for many many years now (mainly here in France) & I only wish I had this tool when starting out. Maybe I can hang up my paper maps now :)

I’m just starting to play around with the CT-App (Android) at the moment & I’ve got a few questions:

• On the opening page of the app (the where to? page) where one can click on the top right (flag icon), then click on more maps to choose the map style, well when I first starting using the app I had access to the IGN maps (digital & classic), no problem. Then after some time when clicking on both IGN maps the screen gives a black screen with the blue trace. Have I done something wrong here? However if I go to the “Map” icon (the page = Routes-Cities-“Map”-My Bike) as if I was planning a route & click on top right for the map selection etc. here the IGN maps are active & show perfectly. I love the where to? concept so would love to get the IGN maps back again!

• Still on the opening page on the CT app-android: I can’t seem to find the “offline maps” icon. When I go to the “Settings” menu, offline maps do not show up here. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place? Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Of course I’m not very computer literate so anything can happen :-)

Thanks a lot for your help,

J.
