Velo Viewer

[13 rider]

Just flicking around and looked at this thread. I never knew the Tile Count was a "thing" Just looked on Veloviewer and I have 7,376 tiles: Max Square 9 x 9: Max Cluster 512

Is that good, bad, average or doesn't it matter?

It's all down to your own personal challenge ,some of us concentrate on max square ,some on max cluster especially anyone who lives on the coast , some just add number of tiles . I'm sure if you targeted your max square and max cluster by filling a few holes you can increase these very rapidly until to get more difficult as tiles get further away . I now at the point were I have to complete a 100 mile loop to had any localish tiles .
If you choose to target local tiles and run a computer with chrome os there is an extension that overlays velo veiwer tiles on Strava route planner

A semi tile in London, 27 new tiles, 1 more for my C. London minicluster.





Well, this bridge was about to be closed, with the most ridiculous diversion I've ever encountered (saying something!), which you can see ready to be put in place...

26 tiles today puts me at 36016 tiles . Spain is starting to look good.

Are iwe loosing out by not having a hey you have not been here before. Strava is giving a Local Hero on rides. Or is it a social experiment to find out how many have OCD tendances.😂

16 new squares today, increasing the cluster by 27.

Total tiles = 6,441
Cluster = 4,791
Max Square = 57.

My rides this week are not pulling through, anyone else with issues?

Check they are on Stava first. I had one earlier on in the week that took a while for Strava to process (40ish minutes after uploaded to Garmin Connect)

I think its been slow this week my Explore has loaded into garmin but still waiting for strava as its the backup and i have to delete it .

Found it, it wasn't setup to pull across ebike rides.

I thought I might have got more today as they moved the HQ 5.8miles from the start of todays TT. I only got 1 tile. On review I could have got a couple more on return with a tiny diversion but after 50miles nearly flat out, I wasn't thinking

Insubstantial, but a couple of walks while visiting family made a new mini-cluster in Glasgow.

Yesterday, a loop of new tiles along the seafront of the New Forest.



Today, I plan a figure 8 loop to fill the interior.


Yes, I do have designs on the IOW...

Aaand done

Shortest leg of the tour,25kms. Surprised to catch 16 tiles as its normally less than half the distance for tiles.

Well, having made moves on Salisbury from the south, I turned my attention to the west. One minor problem, a distinct lack of roads.

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!

The Old Shaston Drove ridgeway... that's just awfully convenient for tiling, isn't it. Except I feel like I'd need a mountain bike. Oh wait, I have one that needs a real maiden voyage.



Once up the initial climb, it was pretty much plain sailing.

Unique perspective on the Fovant Badges:


Short spur to pick up two more tiles:

Main job done.

But since trains were... sparse today, I had a bit of time to kill, so after a well deserved drink (or two - coke and alcohol free cider), I nabbed two tiles to the north of Salisbury. And ended up passing the Skripal House.
