cycle.travel app

My cycle.travel app icon is a gloomy grey, suggesting all is not well. Clicking there on produces no response - any ideas, dear reader?

all is dark….

It’s a sign that the App has failed to update or refresh. Do you have an older iPhone?. Your version of iOS might be too old to support the newest version of cycle.travel.
I see I’m being offered iOS 17.4 to download tonight to an iPhone 13, currently 17.3.1 and my cycle.travel icon looks fine.

I don’t know how to find out without being able to launch the app, but a sensible guess might be the last-but-one vs..

Settings... General... iPhone (whatever) Storage... scroll down... cycle.travel. Select that and it will give you version number etc.

Going to the app store and updating c.t has done the trick.

Yes, it's on Android.

It doesn't have all the functionality of the website.

I think it's mainly intended for turn by turn navigation on the go.

If you prepare routes before you leave you can call them up on the road I think but you will need a wifi/data connection at least initially.

Here's the Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... el_android

As roubaixtuesday says, it doesn't do everything that the website does, but you can use it to either plan a simple route, or to follow a route that you've planned on the website (and it will honk at you when you go off-course). I've got a long list of features to add to both this and the iPhone app this year.

How exciting! I do like using c.t, although I’ll admit that my go-to planner for years was Satmap’s 2 versions of Xpedition which integrated well enough with their gps device.
But the combination of c.t website and app more than makes up for the demise of Satmap. Funnily enough the clincher for me was probably the arrival on the market of weather-proofed phones. When I first began using Satmaps, they could be made sufficiently weather-proof to be practical, whereas most phones would, as they say in the vernacular these days, “brick” at the first contact with even the tiniest drop of rain…
re developments for c.t, while I am excited and positive on the subject of change, I have in the back of my mind the slightest of sinking feelings as I recall how for example Apple’s iTunes morphed steadily from a nimble thing of genius, to a ghastly indeterminate wobble fest.
EDIT: note that I’m not intending to imply that our Richard in any way resembles Steve Jobs…

Thanks Richard for that link, I can't understand why I couldn't find it in the app library. I do play with cycle travel sometimes (and am aware of the long running thread thanks J.), but it doesn't cover SE Asia yet so it's a bit limited for me.

I'll download the app and play more.

Ta again.

Edit : This item is not available in your country

That would explain it. I'll be home in a few weeks and try then.
