i'm loving the new autoroute function....i gave up plotting circular routes as it took forever, this new way is sooooo much easier, thank you

One very minor thing when using the 'Rejoin route back' option on routes that have loops. 

The points for the second/third/etc.. loop are placed directly over the top of the points for the first loop, so you have to move the top point(s) out of the way to be able to click on the appropriate point to rejoin from, otherwise your 'route back' will involve reversing back around the loop(s) before going back to the start.

If there are multiple points in one place, is there any way the system could give you an option of selecting the appropriate point without having to move the uppermost ones out of the way?  

If not, I guess it is just something to be aware of.

Love it love it love it!

Much clearer and easier to use, the full screen option is great, I can see the autoroute is going to be really useful to try and find new routes, and I love the 'Rejoin route back' option, a lot easier to work with. 

Well done!

If the space across the page is the issue, how about having a sub-folder structure?

If you had up to five "top folders" and then each one could contain up to five "sub folders" that contain the routes.

So for the "price" of one extra click, you instantly increase the available folders to a maximum of 25.  

As an example, a user could have top folders such as "Races", "Training" and "Misc",  and then inside "Races" there could be folders for "<5K", "5-9K", "10-20K", "HM" and "Marathon", and then in "Training" they could have lets say folders for "Speedwork", "Hills", and "Long Runs".. and so on.

Is there any chance of extra folders to store routes?  The last post made me think I could just add more but I found I already have the maximum (4 plus archive).  A few more would be great if it were possible - I like to be organised!

Hi John

I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but I love to spend my days out in the countryside, dales....pennines or peak district, and have tried and failed to find any system that is able to show footpaths and bridleways.....as an ordnance survey map does. Is this a step too far for this fantastic site to be able to provide ?

Thanks

Tony

Hi Andy,

What I tend to do is break the route into 3 separate maps for example Stage 1 Pennine way which is 1 mile from the start, then Stage 2 Pennine Way which is 4 miles and this is where I do my Intervals or tempo runs, then Stage 3 Pennine way which is 1 mile for the warm down. Then I 'group' all of these into a multi part entry which is a little messy but it's the only way I can extract the stats for the different types of runs.

Hi Derek,

I've discussed this with John before and its very complicated as you can imagine when you are downloading from a garmin and trying to split the route into different sections of varying pace. I too do this sort of training as a lot must do and am glad you brought it up.

Just to clarify, what do you do at the moment; stop the watch and log it as 3 separate runs?
