Dear Richard, I have a GPX track downloaded from a Cicerone guide which I would like to modify using Cycle.Travel before then using it on a tour. I could modify it in Basecamp but this is very clunky and Cycle.Travel is easier yo use. Is it possible to import a track into Cycle.Travel for this purpose?

Thanks, Tim

Yes – you can import one by going to ‘My bike’ -> Journeys -> Upload.

It has to convert it to a cycle.travel route by guessing the via points that you’d use to plot that route, so it may not be 100% faithful to the original – especially if the route follows busy roads or rough tracks. So do eyeball it before setting off.

You can also just have a track as a backdrop for plotting purposes by going to the map selector on the map page (top right) and choosing ‘Trace GPX’.
