Commented on Searching for WalksHi Steve, That's a great idea. We've already started to struggle with a full map in some places. As we grow, we'll keep an eye on the map and optimise it as needed, aiming for a balance between being able to show plenty of routes and places, but also limit it to things more relev…Commented on Looking good so far, although now being a member getting links on every page and all over the place to join is not very useful. Shouldn't the website recognise that I have joined and therefore have a bit more info or a page for members? ThanksHey Peter, Thank you for this feedback, and apologies it’s taken me so long to reply. We’ve been focused on developing the desktop app and mobile app, and have made do with the membership site as it is so far. I’ve now been able to spend some time on this to hopefully improve it…Created More stats Created Personal Heatmap Created How-to guides Created Linking between the app and the website Created Web designs Created Help you to find local features Created Follow and record routes offline Commented on Editing WalksHey Steve, On the desktop app (https://app.goodways.org), you can now view a recording of a walk. From here, there’s a new option to ‘Create route from journey’, which will create a private route that you can then edit. I’ve attached a short video showing you how you can use the…Commented on Auto-routeFantastic to hear! Thank you for asking for this feature, I’ve found it really helpful.Commented on Please help us improve the Android appHi Hugh, It’s absolutely fine if you use the Good Ways app to follow a route without actually tracking where you’re going! We don’t yet properly support this, but you can just not save your recording at the end of the walk. It’s a really good point that uploading photos will chew…Commented on Please help us improve the Web appHi Hugh. Thanks for this feedback. I’m happy to hear everything mostly worked quite smoothly! We have a few tools that may help you curate the route if you wanted to make it public. First, you can switch on ‘Loop’, which should join the gap between the end and the start of the ro…Commented on I have just completed a second walk: Avoncliff to Oldfield Park. The app worked well, apart from the issue I have already raised about battery draining (24% in 5 and a half hours, without using it to navigate.)Hi Steve, I’m pleased to say I think we’ve now fixed any issues with the activity appearing as an unnamed activity with the incorrect distance. Hopefully you won’t find this again. Thank you for letting us know about it!Commented on Auto-routeHi James! I’ve been updating the off-route option over the last couple of weeks, mostly to help us properly support uploading GPX files. I’d love to get your opinion on the changes if you have a minute - still easy to use? It should work mostly the same, but you can now toggle of…Commented on Auto-routeFantastic to hear! We definitely intend on letting you switch between map types, including OS. In fact, from the ‘Explore’ tab on the website, you can already switch to OS Maps. The reason we’ve decided not to turn this on yet when drawing a route is that using OS Maps data chang…Commented on Auto-routeHi James, Thanks for the feedback! I’ve added an ‘off-grid segment’ for this reason. If you click on a waypoint, you can mark it as off-grid. Auto-routing will still handle the rest of your route, but it’ll ignore off-grid waypoints. Here’s an example of what the ‘off-grid’ segme…Created What do you think of these website designs?Commented on Please help us improve the Android appHello! Good news - you can now download and install the Good Ways Android app without Google Play. Just head to https://app.goodways.org/app and click ‘Download the APK directly’. Let me know if you run into any problems 😄Commented on Anonymous PostsHey all, In the top left of the page, you should now see a ‘Log in with Good Ways account’ button. This replaces the need for a Featurebase account - you can now use your Good Ways account for everything. Please do let us know if this doesn’t work properly or solve the issue. We’…Commented on Route collectionsLove this - you’re spot on that collections don’t have to have a single attribute tying them together, and that a single attribute can tie routes together without creating a collection yourself. We’ve still got a way to go on this, but we are now able to handle manually-created c…Commented on Add and remove basic points of interestGiven how important sharing information about barriers is, we’ve gone a step further. We can create ‘warnings’, which we will prioritise showing over places of interest Commented on Rate, review and comment on a routeVery happy to say this is all now possible! There are still improvements to come, but you are able to take a photo, leave a comment and have it show up on the map in the right place Commented on Flag managementWe’ve already made great progress on this. It’s easy to leave warnings about places, paths, parks and anything else. We still have a way to go through - we’d like to better show you warnings relevant to you, and make sure warnings can be removed if they’re no longer relevant Commented on Manage your user profileWe now have basic profile management - more to come soon!
