Champion 11641 Fairport, NY | Subject: RE: Route Tracker Update - FOLLOW ROADS! When I was testing it I was having one problem where it kept taking a crazy route. It just wouldn't follow the road I was clicking on. I looked over everything I have no idea how many times. Couldn't figure it out, it was driving me nuts. Then it hit me: the road I was clicking on has a bridge. A bridge that's been closed for the past few months. Well played, Google. |

I have run into a few roads in my area that Google doesn't know about, but I know the workarounds (uncheck the box for that part of the route). All in all, it is a feature that will make me abandon my account on another site and keep everything I do on BT. Routes were the only thing keeping me from 100% adoption. Thanks again! |

Extreme Veteran 590 Northern Virginia | Subject: RE: Route Tracker Update - FOLLOW ROADS! Pretty cool. Thanks.
One funny thing, it doesn't like me running left at intersections that have a "No Left Turn" sign for traffic -- it basically generated a U turn, and made a BIG CIRCLE to get to where I was. I guess Mr. Internet knows better ... |

I guess Mr. Internet knows better ... Ha, that totally makes sense now. I was playing around with it and I was WTF at some of the things it was trying to do. |

Member 94 Arizona | Subject: RE: Route Tracker Update - FOLLOW ROADS! I can't find a way to delete the last point in case of poor locator placement? You should see the cockamamie route I just created trying to do so. Nevermind. My super sleuth eyes neglected to see the giant "undo" button in the upper corner. I do still like mapmyrun for the climbing gradient capability. It's fairly hilly in my area and I like being able to compare the grade of hill climbs. Edited by raeray80 2011-06-29 2:54 PM |

| Payson, AZ | Subject: RE: Route Tracker Update - FOLLOW ROADS! In general I love this feature. I have some nice windy roads that made mapping on it really easy. But my god, sometimes it has a fit and there seems to be no way to stop said fit. It will take a funny route, I'll undo that point but then I can never really get it to follow the road at that one location again. I don't save my routes but next time I will and put it in the support page just so you can see what I mean. It would be nice to turn it off when it freaks out like that though. |

Champion 10018 , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Route Tracker Update - FOLLOW ROADS! I was foiled by this again today and had to come back and more directly ask a question: Can you either make it so this is not the default - OR - make an option in settings so I can choose whether it's the default or not? I do most of my riding on trails, so it's really frustrating! |
