Contact CycleMaps Support

I downloaded the free version to try. I watched to tutorial. But the features the tutorial indicated were not easily found OR I never was able to use. For instance, it allowed me to put a pin a location but would not let me choose the route. It chose. And it wouldn’t let me factor in like a round trip. After 30+ min of messing with it I thought, meh I’ll just go. Since my phone was on my arm and there are no verbal directions I got off course. It said “off route”. Again I thought, meh, I have pedal tracking on, maybe it will just show me where I went so I can see how far I road. Nope. Once I got home I couldn’t even figure out how to get it to stop. Anyway even this review is taking to long to write all my frustrations. Won’t be purchasing.

Using for a few weeks though voice navigation keeps repeating I’ve off the path even when I’m on it. This morning the app stopped working: can’t create a route. Notified the site but they continue sending a canned response. Not a particularly useful or feature rich app. I’ve cancelled my subscription and will look for a better cycle map app.

Three stars because this app works better than the usual basic map functions found on the cycling training apps where mapping functions are a second tier after thought. I have several quibbles with the heavy traffic street and route selections in my urban area, but if one is careful with the route planning feature, which is nominally spot on, construction zones, mis-labeled streets and dangerous intersections can easily be avoided. As a retired systems developer, my major beef with this app is the user interface in it’s entirety. I have attempted to use the app as would a normal, semi-technical recreational rider who wants only to set a route from origin to destination, ride the route with several detours and other departures, and then save it to a catalogue for future use and incorporation as part of a larger personal route map overlay. This completely normal expectation should be intuitive from on screen controls and proper on screen prompts and user documentation. I will stick with this app because it is very useful. I am very impressed with the multiple map selection and basic simplicity. Five stars when the onscreen controls, comprehensive user interface and full documentation are completed.
