Explorer Feature Request : "Avoid Highways"

[apLundell]

In a normal google maps search, there's a toggle switch that plots a route without using highways.

It'd be great if we could use that switch when building Explorer routes.

We'll look into if such a switch is possible using Google Directions. Our longer term plan is to allow ride authoring and importing from Google My Maps, to make any custom ride from A to B not just shortest path.

Thanks!

iFit has this ability. Might check out how they do it. I can create my map on my computer and then import so that I can use on their machines.

We added “enable/disable highways” toggle to the Create Rides screen in the release today. Enjoy those backroads!

Also we now always disable ferries, though I did test that our new path loading algorithm will jump them successfully.

Great! Thank you very much!
