Hi
I mostly use cycle.travel for routing near or from my house.
This would make two changes very useful for me:
- Put my home in as the default start point when routing
- When searching for places, maybe rank by distance from either home, or map centre, or start point (not sure which makes more sense)
At the moment, for example, if I search for "Northcote Road", the top 5 suggestions are in London, Bradford, and New Zealand. I live in Bristol, so I have to stick "Bristol" on the end every time; this is fine but really I am not likely to cycle to New Zealand any time soon.
Many thanks
Tom

I have different needs - I already know the roads near my home so don't use cycle.travel here. I would prefer if , when I open the maps page, I go to the last area that I was viewing. So that if I'm planninng routes in, say, the south of France for my next tour, I don't always need to relocate the map to France.
Perhaps this could be the behaviour if you have not set a home location?
Or maybe this would be too magical and would need a switch instead.
Actually, thinking about it, a better combination is probably something like:
I’ll have a look at all that! Note that you can set your home country from your profile page too – this influences the search results, so the NZ one won’t appear when you type Northcote Road.
