Hi !!! Is there any possibility to mark control points on the route, as waypoints or similar, and, when you are navigating those routes, to be able to see those points, and how many km are left to reach them? Thanks.

  Hi Mario, this can be done by adding POIs on your route. Once you are on the ride, you will receive alerts on the next POIs and distance to those POIs from the turn.

  Hi Ali. 

  That's what I'm doing, but I want to know how far I am from a given POI riding the current route, not how many turns there are and how far between them.

  What I want to see:

  POI1 10km
  POI2 14.50km
  POI3 27.3km

  What I see:

  Turn right 120m
  Turn left 300m
  Continue straight 230m
  POI1 160m

  Thanks.

  Hi Mario, thanks for the note. It is not something that has been planned but I will be sharing your thoughts and adding to the previous requests from riders. This has come up before and we do have it on our backlog.

  As a cycling coach I’d like to second Mario’s request. In fact it would be useful to have a specific ‘Distance to POI’ data field. Ideally even with the option to name the POI for example ‘Nature break’, ‘Interval start’, ‘Interval finish’, ‘Water resupply’ and so on. That would take some of the cognitive load off my job. I’m sure it would be useful for most.

  This has been #1 on my wishlist since I bought my K2 last year and realized it didn't have it!

  HH is so close - You can see POI's in your navigation drawer, you can "Navigate to Point" and see the distance remaining and estimated time of arrival (but sometimes the route it chooses is not the route you want to ride), and you can tap on a POI and see the straight line distance. So all that's left is to create the new fields @Sven requested.

  I ride several local routes where I know all the turns and it would be great to see distances to my personal landmarks/milestones rather than turns.

  Please, please, HH, move this up in priority!!  Thanks!
