My Favorite

I have tried a number of different cycling navigation apps. On our last trip from Amsterdam to Barcelona Cycle.Travel won out by a mile. We are back in Europe and I am happy to be using it again. It’s everything I need and I really like the way I prioritizes paths and out-of-the-way places.

Game Changer

We used this Website and App to plan and guide us on an epic cycle across Europe. It was brilliant. Best tool we could find, never took a wrong turn and route planning was a dream.

Can’t plan a route from home

I downloaded the app based on fantastic reviews. App looks and feels great, but I’m sure I’m missing something. Click on Plan, select where from and where to. Buttons below are get route and plan return. Clicking on either does absolutely nothing. If I then just use the where to field next to pls , I select a destination, but the route shown starts miles away from where I am when at home. Or, I can plan a route from home but the route ends miles away from my destination. Clearly I’m doing some wrong here, but close to giving up
