Connect Google Street view for planning
I'm planning a trip/ride and want to make sure that the roads I'm taking are "good", able to be ridden, etc. I often encounter private roads (despite them looking like passable routes) as well as roads that I'd rather not take (road surface, etc). I use Google Street View to verify my turns, intersections, routes, etc., before setting out on a ride.
Here's my "workflow". In Scenic, after importing a route from whatever tool (footprints, forkot, etc) I select a waypoint on the route, use the pop-up dialog to copy the coordinates into Google Maps to see the street view. This is MANY taps on my iPhone or iPad. It would be awesome if I could select a point on my route and, in the pop-up, choose" show Google Street View." This would allow me to verify the route, etc. Better yet would be to have a "Street View" in the route planner.
I've added two screen captures from my iPad that I use to plan - I split-screen the two apps, but it's a lot of work. 🙂
@guidomm I didn't know that the drag points became vias in Scenic - that's a nice nugget!!
I generally don't use gmaps for planning routes because I can't remove the strange routing it creates - it creates odd waypoints when I drag a route around and I can't remove them. Example in this image: I moved the route from HW 290 up to the 2766 road, but it left the strange path (the vertical route you see), and no matter what I do, I can't delete them without resetting things, losing all my work.
