I've been trying to turn the
Rebellion Way GPX into a cycle.travel trace; the upload tool did a reasonable job which I've improved to get
this route. There are two points where I'm having difficulties (I've left markers), and I have a couple of related questions:
1. Is it possible to combine the "Trace GPX" function with the OS map display? Selecting "Ordnance Survey" from the layers dropdown then leaves me without the "Trace GPX" box available from that dropdown (even if I go back to cycle.travel - I have to reload the route page); and if I load up the GPX trace first, then it vanishes when I switch to the Ordnance Survey layer. [this would be useful to try and check how the OS thinks the GPX relates to tracks on the ground
2. Is it possible to add "via" points where cycle.travel thinks there isn't a track at all? If you look at the more Northern marker on this route, I want to go from via point 36 to the track junction where I left the marker, then follow the track West and up to the road at via point 38. But if I try and drag a via point there cycle.travel doesn't let me drop one, so I can't force it to go via that track in any way.
Is it possible to split an existing route into parts?
For example, the C2C is already an entire route (https://cycle.travel/map/journey/75), and I can save it to my routes and then drag points around to take in my planned stops / detours. But it would be handy if I could break it up into days (so my GPS unit tells me how far I have to go that day, rather than taunting me with the distance to Sunderland on the first morning...); is this straightforwardly possible?
I have a route with a loop in - https://cycle.travel/map/journey/382388
If I try and send it Garmin Connect, then it turns it into a straight there and back (Girton to Wistow and back), rather than the loop in the route.
If I just download the GPX track and then import it, the route is correct.
