Avoiding unpaved 'roads'
Good Morning!
I took a LONG ride to get some fresh and socially distant air yesterday. My Garmin is toast so I relied totally on Scenic. Overall I was happy. Only thing, I can't seem to find the setting to 'avoid unpaved roads'. In the southern half on New Jersey USA, there are a LOT of 'roads' on the map that are little more than forest service roads. Some may have been paved at some point (before 1940) but most are sand traps. Am I missing the setting?
The 'avoid unpaved road' option is only available for curvy routes. So you would need to generate a curvy route and then you can turn the 'avoid unpaved road' option on.
Ugh...well that helps, but if I grabbed a route from a GPX repository, its less helpful. Feature request perhaps? Its important. I imported a route from BaseCamp but there was a forced detour due to a bridge out. The 'recalculation' kept trying to send me home via a swamp. Fun on a dual sport...not so much on a sport touring bike. Thanks for the answer...keep doing what you do!
Curious if the latest Scenic map provider has any way to handle this? Seems to be a pretty common thing on dedicated motorcycle GPS units. Hoping for good news.
Yes. It has an ‘avoid unpaved roads’ option
