Richard, something I am noticing when entering cities from different countries. The city name options appear but not the country. For instance Riga,Latvia & Ostrava, Czech.

Ooops, didn't spot that first time round. I'll take a look - thanks.

Fixed now. It'll always show the country unless the place is in your home country.

I like this. One question - when the route is devised, there are sections indicated telling me how many miles on - I presume - each type of road. But there does not seem to be a 'legend' to tell me what the icons mean. Any ideas?

Fab, thanks. I'd tried that without success, but evidently, didn't wait for the 'tool tip' thingy to appear.

Be aware that it's currently mislabelled and describes cycleways as "traffic-free", even in the Netherlands!

I'm sorry. I've read that several times and I can not understand the point you're making. I am not understanding how cyclepaths in NL are mislabeled?

I think the point was that cycles are traffic.

Having said that, I believe that mopeds use Dutch cycle tracks as well as bikes.

Richard is there a way when viewing a route that I can "move" the description so I can have the map full screen?

If I access CT on my phone & go straight to My (bike) then open a "journey" I (usually but not always) get a button (with 3 stripes) that opens (& closes) a menu on the left with the same content at the left panel of the desktop. If I go straight to the map it doesn't usually appear (even if I open a saved journey afterwards.

Here's yesterday's route From (Manchester to Rochdale along the canal) open in Firefox on my phone.

Panel closed
Panel closed
Panel open
Panel open

What is rendering it like that & is that easily transferable to the desktop?
