  2. Use the search bar to find a knowledge point by name or address.
  3. Open the menu button to switch between Ride, New, Resources, My Runs, My Bike Lists, Points revision, and Account.
  4. Hide pins by tapping the icon in the top-left corner.
  5. Tap and hold the pin button in the top-left corner to open the pins filter.

Pins And Colours

Pins mark the knowledge points. Each colour is a rating you can use to track progress.

  1. Tap a pin to open its name and address.
  2. Each tap on a pin changes its colour. Use the colours to distinguish points you know well from the ones you still need to learn. All pins start as red.
  3. You can later filter or revise the points by the colour you assign to them

Create Runs

Pen your lines, save them, and organise them the way you like. You can also add Run text that can be played aloud.

  1. Choose New from the menu.
  2. Select one of the draw buttons to start drawing lines on the map.
  3. You can pen two lines, red and purple, and check their distances.
  4. Tap on A and then tap on the map to mark the start of the split line. Do the same with B and the straight blue split line will be drawn.
  5. Use the route button to calculate the shortest red road route. Via points shape only the red route: they do not alter the blue split line and are not saved with the run.
  6. For a verified taxi-only manoeuvre, choose Correct section and tap its start on the automatic route. Each following tap extends the orange permitted path; tap the automatic route again to finish. Check the call and road name before applying it.
  7. Use undo to remove the last part of your line, or tap and hold the clear button to erase it completely.
  8. Tap save and choose Run. Select a folder, or create a new one while saving.
