Hi there,

I love this app and basically use it for all routing and traveling I do. It successfully managed to plan a trip from western Germany to Sweden with ease, so first and foremost: Thank you for the effort you put into this!

I'd have one small suggestion: I sometime use the app to plan long circular rides e.g. for 24h racing. Currently, the way to adjust the length of the suggested route is controlled via a slider and I think it would be more precise to just have a field for text input. By that, the current maximum of ~350 km could be increase if I want to plan a circular multi day route, which I believe is currently not possible. 

Cheers,
Dominik

Dominik, I don't think the absence of text is the issue for regulating route length.

While saying that you are using the app (but not which version) the functionality you seek is available on the website and highlighted in the Supporter Newsletter of March '25.

The gist of it is to select your start point, Choose 'Suggest a ride', then 'Tour ideas'. This will give you options on daily length and number of days as well as the usual surface options. There is a circle symbol to generate different options. 

However, I have noticed an issue. Using the website (Chrome) on my Android phone the tour ideas option was not offered - only the day option. My goto of holding the phone horizontally made no difference. I'm not sure, but I think I could do this before.
