How do I not follow roads on the map?
Answered
I have just taken delivery of my unit and I am trying to plot a route in Dashboard to allow me to test it. Unfortunately the cycle path that I use starting some 50 metres from my house and which runs against the flow of a one way street, does not seem to exist on the mapping and Dashboard routes me around a busy road junction rather than following the cycle path. How do I report the missing cycle path? Can I tell Dashboard not to follow the roads and simply draw a line where I want to ride?
On the attached map the cycle path is shown in magenta.

Best solution: Use the Strava route planner and transfer from there. Other route planners are probably also good options, I'm just most familiar with Strava's.
IMO, Hammerhead need to spend their time getting features and options to work properly on their head unit and not mess around with an online route planner that is probably always going to be inferior to other offerings.

I suggest that Hammerhead uses the expertice of Marcus Needham at dynamicWatch and make that service standard route planner for Hammerhead users.
When it comes to routeplanning I think it is the most user friendly yet competent service out there.
It uses road, mtb or lines for planning with OpenStreetMap (or Graphhopper).I use it on "the side" and then import it to Hammerhead dashboard.
For all Garmin users it works like Hammerheads dashboard when saving routes but maybe Hammerhead could start a collaboration with dynamicWatch in the future?
