Feature request: reverse route
Completed
Hi, it would be nice to store a route once and have the option to reverse it on the fly. I know we have this option in the dashboard but this makes your device to have 2 routes, which makes it difficult to search roads later on if you have many.
Also, the option to reverse it in the dashboard changes the route, as mentioned here: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/360043658193-BUG-Editing-a-route

I got the feature vote to 49 people ... everyone reading this, hop on there and smash that up button so Hammerhead can perhaps reconsider taking a look:
In the meantime, maybe since this thread is so active, someone with some coding skills can work on writing a script that creates a reverse route of every route we add to our dashboard 😂😞 -
Is there a plan to include this feature? As a cycle tourist who uses the Karoo 2 principally for navigation the Garmin Edge Explore 2 is looking like a much more viable alternative!!
Whilst I understand racers need for some extra features and the modern cyclist desire for "bells & whistles" basic navigational stuff for me is definitely the priority!!!

"I'm more than happy to hear that such a feature which is needed is planned :-)"
For several years, now.
There's a roadmap to the roadmap, but you will not find it here.
Perhaps it's on a road they took that filled their day with tears.
For pages on this thread now wind with hopes and thoughts and verse.
And filling up the board with votes, just seems to make it worse.
They say "The page you were looking for doesn't (in fact) exist"
If only to stick in the knife, and then to give a twist.
Perhaps it is too difficult, or clouds a troubled mind,
For we are left out, wandering, a way back hard to find.
Now come on guys, give us a break. Help us to find a path back home.
And put this matter to and end, so we won't fuss and moan.
When I Reverse a ride in the Dashboard, it overwrites the original rather than offering an option to be saved as a new ride. Thus the Route has to be redone in reverse, and renamed , saved and uploaded. The route can't be reversed on the head unit, so the two Routes have to be loaded, before departure. That, and they swept up my breadcrumbs, erased my tracks, and placed me under witless protection.
Addenum:
See all it took was the right poem and Shazam! It appeared!

Just like the way the feature came, when asked for with a verse,
The document you're seeking will be manifest, but first
Just click your heels together, then with all the buttons pressed,
Lay it out upon your tablecloth, and I would use my best.
Spin it once or twice, then laugh aloud, then go and drink a beer.
And more of Franklin's screenshot shorts will magically appear.
For it's deep down in the menus, and it isn't on the map
It remains upon the Dashboard, if your laptop's in your lap.
Perhaps it's an incantation that will show on the Karoo
Only if you've shelled out sheckles for the model number 2?
So I did what TechSup guys will do, a grinning suppressed by a cough,
I'll ask if you began by turning things on and then off.
The Auto Update and the Reset's long, it's best to take a snooze.
It's a common Android feature seen in all of the Karoos.
It's not quite simple, to be done by any random monkey,
Though appreciated, comes across as being sort of funky.
PS: I found, after it said I was up to date,and after I checked, it then changed its mind, reloaded and reset.
I found after a search, that you appear to have to load a ride, then load a map, then go back to Routes and scroll down to Reverse, go back thru buttons to Ride. It doesn't appear to exchange the icons for start and end, and adds some as yet unreferenced icons ( tiny, tiny bell and Favorites(?) looking thingy). But it seems to be there.
