What’s new in Gritmaps
Changes to Gritmaps that riders notice, newest first, each with the day it shipped.
One-way rides: on the start page, switch from Loop to One-way and pick a finish on the map, by search or from your favorites. Use it for your commute. If the ride is longer than your workout, the extra time is ridden in Zone 2 around it. If it is shorter, the route takes a detour so the workout fits.
Deleting your account now erases it at once: your data and your login. A confirmation email follows, and an Account deleted page confirms it. Privacy info: Settings → Privacy & data, or Privacy in the user menu.
Descents are planned closer to how they are ridden. Speed is limited by the surface and by each corner, and planned power drops to match. Durations and average power on hilly routes are more realistic.
Ride feedback: a note needs a star rating first. The note field stays disabled until you pick one, so a note is no longer dropped.
Routes now score traffic exposure as a seventh axis. Busy roads, estimated from road class and built-up density, lower the score.
Courses sent to older Garmin Edge devices, such as the Edge 820, now load on the device.
Heart-rate workouts reach your device in bpm, from your own zones. Intervals.icu workouts in HR zones, % of LTHR or % of max HR import with your Intervals.icu zones.
Intervals.icu: connect it under Settings → Integrations. Under Settings → Sync it can supply your planned workouts and your FTP & heart-rate zones. Workouts in % of FTP use your gritmaps FTP.
Settings → Sync: choose where your planned workouts and FTP & heart-rate zones come from, and where routes and workouts are sent. Pick Manual to keep your own FTP. Onboarding now walks you through accounts and Sync; every step can be skipped.
Wahoo ELEMNT support: connect Wahoo under Settings → Integrations to send routes and adapted workouts, scheduled on the day you ride. Completed rides show up in your timeline. Garmin Connect can now be your calendar alongside a Wahoo.
Loop search reworked: via-point searches use the same loop search as plain loops, near-duplicates are dropped, and fewer loops reuse a road.
Via points: drag the grip handle to reorder them on a route. The via pin no longer lags behind the map while you pan.
Faster route search: smaller responses use less mobile data, results appear as they load, wind loads in parallel, and a failed search offers a way back.
Interval efforts now sit inside climbs where possible, so a step that starts a little early still lands on the climb.
Better gravel routes: climbs are judged by grade and surface, hardpack is no longer blocked by gravel slope limits, and steep stony pitches are avoided.
