Map adjustment
Have a mapping issue
We always start our rides from Southbeach Cafe In Fremantle Western Australia and traditionally have done so for decades. Since using the App there has been a mapping issue with our start point as it is showing on the map as one way (in only). There is no exit on the map so this stops the app from calculating a route and usually i have to start the ride whilst travelling out of the area fiddling as i go to get the route calculated and started. Obviously not the best choice and would much prefer if the map can be updated to show all roads in the area as 2 way (which they are) to eliminate the issue,

Love the app and have kept my Iphone as a GPS so i can keep using it (now have an android phone)
Thank you in advance

Hi Cliff,
Im afraid I can do anything about this. It’s an issue with the map provider. Having said that, this is one of the reasons why I’m switching to another provider in Scenic 3, which ilia not too far away now: https://scenicapp.space/blog/knowledge-base/scenic-3-info/
I expect Guido will say its the map provider issue and hopefully for you when Scenic 3 arrives it will be sorted. However there is a simple work around. Plan your start as near to the cafe that the app will allow. Select the planned route, tap 'Navigate', then before you tap 'Start Ride' change the 'Guidance to Route' to None. This leaves you to ride to start point without guidance but once at start point Scenic will pick up the guidance. This will mean can start your ride without having to fiddle on the go. Works for planned routes only.
Ha ha Guido replied before me.

A great addition. Thanks 😊
Thank you to Both of you for replying.
PeteRT I'll give it a shot cheers.
Just gotta go through and edit my rides as the apps mapping used to allow it but stopped a couple of years back.
Cheers
