Map Uploading Issue

[Shon_T]

I created one 5500 miles (From Eastern Russia to Moscow). Didn't have a problem. I posted a video of the start of this route on the Facebook Page. 

One Caveat: I was originally trying to create a route 8500 miles long. It wouldn't work. I think what I determined (with help from Snowpelt) is that the route was attempting to go through an area not covered by Google Street View. The AI does not automatically route around areas that lack Google Street View. I just got an error saying "oops...this route is not available." 

Rather than drawing and importing my own maps...I will liking continue creating smaller point to point routes within the headset, that I know will go through Google street view areas. If I have to, I can import routes as a last resort.

Hi Shon,

Explorer will jump you over areas not covered by Street View.  But the very beginning at least must be covered, which is why you see the "route is not available" when trying to start somewhere that doesn't.  Once you are in a ride Explorer should take you through all the areas covered by Street View.  Note your end point must also be covered by Street View if you want to be able to finish it!

Hmm... Then end of my route appeared to be covered by Google street view, but upon further inspection it appears that the last portion was from a personal 360 camera. 37.023239, -8.995777. When I actually tried to simulate the last few seconds of the ride on my PC...it stops just short of my goal. That may have been part of the problem.

My entire route when through Belarus and Germany, which are not covered by Google Street View. Are you saying that if I correctly picked an endpoint covered by Google Street view, I would have just skipped through Belarus and Germany, and continued on the other side? 

I just want to make sure I understand as I will need to proceed carefully with planning further routes.

Thanks.
