Smart Turns – new on cycle.travel's route-planner
Hello, in several GPX files I’ve uploaded lately (sourced from Ride with GPS uploaded to CT web) I noticed that the route on CT has some completely different segments. And when I upload there are two routes, a dark blue highlighted one (which becomes the wrong segment on CT) and a thin light blue line (which corresponds to the original route). What am I doing wrong?

GPX tracks don’t include the via points that cycle.travel needs to make an editable route, so it has to ‘retrofit’ them, and sometimes – like this – it gets it wrong.
The thin blue line is shown so that you can see where the ‘retrofitted’ route diverges from your original, and you can drag it back onto the course.
It’s clear now, thank you
