Avoid A/B roads?

Hello,

I recently road in the UK by following routes suggested by Cycle.travel.  I knew A roads were to be avoided at all cost, but even B roads were crazy to ride on with drivers passing very close and very fast :-/

Unless I missed it, it doesn't look like the router lets users choose to avoid riding on A/B roads. If it so, I suggest adding this feature.

Cheers,

[suggestion] Include steep hills as waypoints

Hello,

I think it'd be useful if C.T. showed steep hills as waypoints à la IBPIndex, as a way to plan for shorter days in hilly areas.

Add option for elevation to output file?

Hello,

While C.T. can display elevation data after drawing a route and hitting the "moutain" icon on the left, unless I missed it, it doesn't include elevation data in the output file. I had to use GPSVisualizer's to gather them from some other server and append them to a new GPX file:

Make it possible to add legs/stops to route

Hello,

Unless I missed it, it seems like Cycle.Travel doesn't let users add legs to a trip.

For instance, I wanted to ride from Rennes to Vitré, and then up to Fougères:

I tried the "Click map to add more points", but it draws routes in a straight line instead of following roads.

Is there a work-around, short of saving each leg in an independent GPX file and merging them all with eg. GpsBabel?

Thank you.

Move switcheroo icon/feature

Hello,

I suggest moving the "switcheroo" icon/feature next to the from/to items à la Google Maps to make it more obvious to users:
