  I'm not sure why it stopped half way through instead of just before the ferry. There is a complex algorithm that tries to match the whole route, so it may have been that to get to the point the other side of the ferry it had to divert half way through the route.

  Bah humbug,

  Good shout. Last 1/10th of mile fail! Good spot!

  I will double-check the other two routes that I was fighting with, do not cross the river too - it would make sense and I should know better, I have to change to 'foot' to get across on ferries. 

  However, why does it stop after < 9 miles, when only the last < 1/4 mile is the issue? 

  I fixed it using the 'shorten the route' feature and then returned to the river's other side. All sorted on this one now.

  Thank you

  Hi Kristian,

  Thansk for all that information. It looks like it's caught out by the ferry crossing at Rogätz, as our default bike routing doesn't use ferries. If you change the Activity setting to Walk instead of Bike when you use the Snap Route to Map it should then work.

  Hi team,

  I use the 'snap route to map' feature extensively since its deployment to the site. I have used it many times.

  But I am seeing odd behaviour and it does not appear to be consistent. So I will keep investigating what I believe to be the cause.

  Either way, the outcome is beyond frustrating

  This is the length of my 'follow a cycle route' prior to running the command - but it has no directions

  Below are the settings I have chosen:

  This is now the route length!

  Confirmed by the route length panel

  As you can see - less than half my route is now 'snapped' leaving more than half - not even existing but a trace left behind

  Any suggestions? 

  Thanks in advance

  Hi, I'm trying to plot some routes based on other people's gps files, but in multiple areas they have taken tracks that are not shown on maps. When I Snap Route To Map most of the bits on roads or mapped tracks get cleaned up nicely, but these sections on unmarked tracks end up in completely the wrong place. There are also a few sections on the road where it decides to just take me in a different direction for no reason I can discern. Would it be possible to either:

  Have the Snap RouteTo Map function applied only to a selected range,

  or even better

  Have an Unsnap function, so when I review the route I can just say take this section back to what it was originally?

  I've now uploaded two routes and anyone using this needs to be aware that a slight squiggle in the original route could lead to unintended, brief, out and back legs which might need to be tidied up using Replot Section.  Best to look very closely once the route is uploaded, but the new tool itself works very well for me.

  Thanks! Really great!

  Excellent timing !  I've just uploaded a route ... and noticed this new option ... and it looks as if it works very well.  Thank you

  Nice also that I can get the original trace as background:)
