I’ve only tested this planner over a route I know well but I look forward to using this planner to navigate 50+ miles cycling in new areas. Will almost definitely buy a subscription once my free trial has ended!! Well done, you should be working for Garmin, you’d be doing a much better job than them!!

I’m doing a river race in July on a very large river. Being in the right spot on the river is critical, because there are many obstacles, both man-made and natural.

I’ve created a route that I would like to follow down the river. The route is designed to keep me away from obstacles – For example, to keep me on the correct side of the river when there are dikes on the other side.

Given your statements on the 605, it sounds like I may have trouble getting it to show me my route, but I’m not sure if that’s still true if I make it a course rather than waypoints.

Also, I’m unsure if there are any more detailed maps than what comes by default on the 605. When I look at its rendering of the river, it shows me little more than a blue stripe, with very little detail. I’m hoping that a commercial map might have more detail, but I also want to make sure that I can upload it to the 605.

Thanks very much for any advice you can provide, I appreciate it!

The elevation data is, as it says, retrieved from an external source, and sometimes it can be problematical. Try loading the route and leaving it open for a bit – to give it a chance to load all the elevation data.

Let me know if you still have problems after trying that! You can contact me directly by replying to the email that was sent when you signed up, or using the contact form.

I have uploaded a route for an upcoming sportive but have been unable to view the elevation data – each time I try it says still trying to recieve data from external source, try again.

I am able to view elevation data for routes I create myself – am I able to see this data for uploaded routes?

thanks, Darren
