Map guidance

[bmweis]

When requesting turn by turn directions, the map does not show the route. Having a visual of the route would be super helpful for those of us who mount their phones to their bike and like the ability to glance at a map (especially if you make a wrong turn).

This is currently supported, could you please describe the steps you are taking?

Here’s what happens when I enter a start and end point. I can’t get a route to show up.

All I’m doing is entering a start and end location.

Note: In using Firefox on an iPhone 7

Are you using the eye with a slash through it to hide the directions? Or the minus in the circle? The minus is supposed to clear, though I may just remove it as it is superfluous and confusing

[bmweis]

I’ve tried both and still, no route guidance.

I would, however, encourage you to explore the “less is more” idea and remove anything that isn’t totally necessary.

Scratch that. When I enabled location sharing in the browser, the route map appeared just fine.

I do think the buttons are a bit large. I’d take them down to about half the size. That should be large enough without overcrowding the screen.

I would also reduce the Raleigh Bikeways banner to about 1/3 the current size. That thing is massive.

[oaksandspokes]

Okay so I re-did a lot of the UI sizing. Let me know what you think

[bmweis]

That looks a lot better! My last UI suggestion would be to change the up arrow to a small text box or magnifying glass.

Up arrows like that make me think of North on a compass.
