I have ridden regularly between my home and another town in Switzerland for a number of years. Some fast motorway only but also many variations on back roads.
To introduce some new ideas, I planned a curvy route on kurviger.de, exported it as a track to Basecamp then created a route before transferring to NAV V.
It took me through some amazing countryside and villages, some of which I knew but many were new. However, suddenly I find myself on a rutted, gravel track through a forest for 2kms. All OK on the GS but would have preferred to know in advance as it was well laden.
In retrospect I should have been more careful vetting the route and ticking “unpaved roads” as an avoidance in kurviger. That avoidance was set in both BC and the NAV V, which have identical settings. Interestingly kurviger seemed able to override them.
Have replanned this route in kurviger with unpaved avoided and will try it out on my next journey.
Anyone with similar experiences or comments?
