App - flaky display of climbs

Feedback in case of value to you re the relatively recent Climbs feature: 

On my ride today (https://cycle.travel/map/journey/926426) I found the operation of the Climbs feature rather flaky. The start of a climb was only announced and displayed for about half the climbs, with some announced and displayed only when already nearly at the top. Likewise, the top was not reliably handled. I beleive the phone did have a signal at the relevant locations; although I did not stop to confirm this, it did seem to be tracking progress on the map, and the climbs were in open country rather than in twisty hollows where blackspots might be expected.

(As this mostly meant I was further up the modest climbs than I thought, it was far from a disaster! But not really how its meant to work.)

(Android on Samsung Galaxy A55, latest app, latest Android. App configured to Dim between turns, and using offline maps.)

App Display of climbs: suggested new config "Always display climbs"

Richard
App feature suggestion: add a config to set "Always display climbs" ie, when on a climb, it stays on screen, overriding a "Dim between turns"setting. (And perhaps do this regardless of whether the profile of the route is being displayed?). 

Many of us set "Dim between turns" to save battery, but I think it is worth sacrificing some battery to be able to see our progress up a climb, which - hopefully - will be motivating rather than discouraging ... 

(See also separate thread with feedback about slightly flaky operation of the climbs feature.)

As ever, much appreciation for your magic.

Suggestion: add details of "Start here" to Help

Richard

For completeness, arising from the recent King Alfred's Way thread: 

I don't think there is any coverage of the "Start here" feature in the Help text. Could usefully be added to the Advanced features / Route tools, where the other "More" sub-menu options are covered  ie just needs another bullet.

Feature suggestion: Marker symbols to scale smaller when map zoomed out

Minor feature enhancement:

At present marker symbols remain the same size regardless of the scale of the map, becoming too prominent when the map is zoomed out, and covering up map detail(#). Instead, reduce the size of the markers in steps 100% / 67% / 33%.

# - I appreciate that the display of the markers (and photos) can be turned off in the map via the "hamburger" menu, but that is not quite the same.

Recent app feature highlighting full length of Routes fails on some.

Re recently introduced feature for i-Phone and Android:

(Using Android, latest version and latest CT; on Samsung Galaxy.)

I am finding the operation of this feature to be inconsistent. Selecting some Routes always results in highlighting as intended (eg Route 10); on some Routes, highlighting works intermittently ie whole route or none (eg (R72)); some never gets highlighted (eg R7) . Where the highlighting fails, the map has nevertheless detected that the tap was on the Route, as the pop-up that names the Route does appear, consistently.

The behaviour appears to be the same regardless of whether a self-created planned route (blue line) is being displayed or not.  Logging off and logging on makes no difference, nor does completely exiting CycleTravel and restarting (I have not tested whether having a simultaneous session on the website makes any difference.)

Note there is a message on the Cycling UK forum on 4th Oct from MrsHJ querying the operation of the highlighting, which appears to arise from similar experience.. 

HTH.
