Offroad Tracks
Hey all,
I think I have reached the limitations of the route planner in the app when it comes to offroad riding in my area. Most of the dirt/gravel here is illegal, but every now and again you come across some tracks that are not prohibited. They are usually not marked on any maps, at best they are sometimes on hiking maps or marked as fire roads etc.
I am wondering, what program I can use to create dirt/gravel tracks to then import the gpx into scenic, I am aware that it would only give me some kind of line navigation, which is fine... but I at least want to be able to create proper paths.
On another note, when is the feature "prefer unpaved roads" coming 😉 @guidomm?
Cheers from Bavaria,

So, I've used Footpath to create a route and imported it into Scenic. Will Scenic's turn-by-turn route me on this, including the u-turn? The grey section is all dirt. (I've changed the route colors to sort of match googles as that's what I'm used to vs the orange)
One feature addition would be a Cue Sheet to show the turns before having to do the ride.
The footpath cue sheet is pretty darn good (and I would use it for this type of ride if they had good CarPlay/Moto UI).

Quick follow-up - I did this ride yesterday, and Scenic did a perfect job routing me on the offroad sections I was worried about. I even went further down the trail than I thought I was going to, and Scenic didn't freak out, allowing me to keep going and make a u-turn when I was ready; it picked back up my next via point 14, and I was on my way in a very unfamiliar area with no signs. 🙂
You can see my route matches nearly perfectly the plan - the picture icon is where I thought I'd stop (via 13)
