I just started trying to use cycle.travel in safari on my iPhone to plan routes, since I won’t have a desktop on the road with me. I miss the “busy road”, “paved road”, “unpaved road”, etc statistics section. Is that info available on the web for small screens interface? Not sure if I don’t know where to look or if it’s been omitted.
The only way I’ve found to see a google street view of a location that isn’t on the planned route (but that I’m considering going to) is to change the route to include it and then reverse the change. Is there an easier way to see a street view of points near to but not on the route?
Hi, I'm new to cycle.travel, but very excited to have found it! I'm trying to find a nice, safe route between 2 cities that are a couple of hundred miles apart in an area I'm completely unfamiliar with. I'm using cycle.travel on a computer. There are two things I'd like to do but don't see how to do them.
1. Under "route summary" where it shows "busy road", "paved road", etc, I'd like to click "busy road" and see the sections of my tentative route that this applies to so that I can look at those parts more closely and decide whether I want to find an alternative. I see how paved vs unpaved is color coded on the route, but how do I find the "busy" or "pushing" sections?
2. I'd like to see the "any", "paved" and "gravel" routes altogether on the map so that I can compare them. Is there a way to do that on cycle.travel or would I have to export them to another app?
Thanks for any suggestions you may have, Terri

I cycled part of the Transandalus (https://www.transandalus.org/#!/) in Spain a couple of years ago and I'm thinking about going back to the rest of it, except that this time, I want to cycle only on quiet paved/tarmac roads, well graded dirt roads and via verde type paths. In other words, exactly the kind of surfaces and routes that cycle.travel is great at selecting. What I'd like to do is roughly follow the Transandalus route, which is designed for mountain bikes, but do it on surfaces that I can handle on a road bike.
So, I'm looking for advice about how to use the cycle.travel website to do this. The Trandandlus is 2000km and cycle.travel objected to the size when I tried to import the whole gpx file at once. I can certainly break it up, just thought I'd seek advice from more experienced cycle.travel users before diving in. My hope is to be able to easily compare the original route and the cycle.travel plotted route on a map.
