Updates again

Richard,

This is going to sound ungrateful and I apologise for that.  I really think the infrequent updates of the route map are tremendously limiting to the usefulness of cycle.travel.  Many of the threads here come down to openstreetmap errors.  These can be fixed in a moment but it can be weeks before that change is available in c.t.  For example I've just made an OSM correction in Clifford Slocombe's 'Unrouteable section' thread, it could be a long time before Clifford can test that.  I've also corrected the designation of way 324043140, I now need to wait who knows how long before I can add it to route I'm planning. No doubt I will find another block on the route a couple of segments further on and have to wait again.

So what to do?  I suggest two things:

You've already told us it takes your server a long time to process the OSM dataset.  What is the spec of that machine?  Maybe we can crowdsource some upgrades or a dedicated updates machine.

I don't think on it's own that is really an end to the problem though even if you were able to run updates every night.  Would it be feasible perhaps, if you did have a dedicated machine, to add a command to the popup menu to re-evaluate the connections off a segment?  Taking the second example above I can route into way 148073615, if I could click on it and select 're-evaluate connections' as an immediate job it would find a new path into 324043140.

I hope I don't sound ungrateful, cycle.travel is a brilliant resource and it deserves to succeed.

Waypoints limit?

Is there one?  I'm trying to plot the Grand Union canal and after 78 waypoints I cannot add any more.

Inconsistent climb units

Hi,

Could you make the 'Total Climb' figure stick to a unit please?  It start's counting in meters then switches miles once I go over about 1400mtr (I have miles selected in my profile for distance).  Miles makes no sense for climb distance, it needs to stick to meters, yards, feet or whatever even when the number gets large.

If you could make it configurable in the profile separately to the distance unit that'd be even better.  For some reason I've got used to miles for distance and meters for climb.  I'm not sure what would work better as an imperial unit, feet or yards. 

Thanks

Feature request - Saved route change of date

Could the date associated with a route be made editable?  I planned some several weeks before I rode them and now I'd like to change the dates from the created date to ridden date.

Feature request - Overview print

I completed a 3 day ride recently for which my C.T maps and TbT prints were perfect for everything except showing people a rough idea of where I went.  Would it be possible to add another option to the maps print to get the whole route scaled to one page?  Preferably with an (optional?) elevation plot beneath.

I tried doing this with a screenshot but there are so many markers in the way on screen it's not ideal.

Thanks Richard
