Hi. Can I change plan between via points from twisty to fast for that section to avoid unnecessary deviation from preferred route Danny
Hey @Dannylunn - Sorry for the delayed response. We're taking advantage of the rainy days to work on our backlog!
Absolutely! You can change the routing profile between via points. On the website, just click the red curve symbol between each via point and choose a different profile. In the app, the curve symbol is blue—tap that, and you’ll see the other options. Let us know if you need any more tips! 😊
Hello
A feature request, could we have the ability to turn via points on/off, (or enable/disable), when route planning? The reason is that when planning I often want to break the day up between motorway and twisty roads, (balancing the need to get some miles in, versus getting some smiles in). So I'll drop a via, and change the route profile either side of it, or else add a town that we may want to visit. I then want to go back to just motorway for the whole day to see how much time the twisty or diversion may have added; but currently the only way is to delete the via, then add it back again etc. As the via may be a bit off the route, (to match motorway exits etc, or to pick a town centre), it isn't just a case of changing the profile either side.
Thanks
Hi @Lonsontour - that’s an interesting idea, thanks for taking the time to explain your use case so clearly!
I’ll gladly pass this on to our team. While I can’t make any promises, feedback like yours is exactly what helps shape future improvements. The more users ask for a similar feature, the higher the chance it gets a closer look.
Appreciate the input!
Thus far, Calimoto, Rever, Scenic, Kurviger, etc. each under-utilize the power of a 7" CarPlay screen and have niggles that are frustrating.
Cheers, Jim
Hi Jim (J93065) - thanks for taking the time to write this up. There are definitely some interesting ideas in there!
I especially like your thoughts on making the routing a bit smarter when you intentionally leave the planned route, rather than trying to pull you back to the last via point every time. I’ll make sure that suggestion is added to our internal feedback collection, along with your ideas for making better use of the CarPlay interface.
Thanks again for sharing your perspective. Feedback like this really helps us understand how people are using calimoto in the real world.
Have a great ride!
New Way Point Type (Stop / U-Turn)
I am using the app to plan & navigate using Carplay. I would really like a new type of way point to be added in the route planning stage which would be a STOP and not a ride by waypoint. When i plan my route i like to plan in stops, where i park my bike and get off. These stops sometimes are 10-15 minutes ride out of my planned route. If i add them as a waypoint the app thinks i want to ride by the point and will route in a circle (somtime very long) to get me back to my next way point when what i really want to do is U-Turn. If i put a 2nd waypoint in a few meters BEFORE the 1st waypoint it will not do a u- turn but will route me around a double circle route. The only way i found to get around this is to break by ride into several rides with start & finish point at each point where i plan to stop. Adding this new type of waypoint where the app knows you are stopping / parking would allow the user to pick the best route to the next waypoint.
Hey @RobbiesRides,
Thanks for the detailed feedback! We completely understand how a dedicated stop waypoint would improve route planning in situations like yours. That's a great suggestion, and we'll gladly pass it on to our product team for consideration. We really appreciate you taking the time to share it! :)
