Cyclo supports various route planning options. You can simply set a starting destination or use "Surprise Me" to have Cyclo decide where you want to go.
First things first, create or change a profile for each of your activity types. Each profile can be assigned a different bike or any other activity. This can be helpful in many ways, here are several reasons why. If you have multiple bikes, you'll need different wheel circumference values setups for each bike in order to correctly calculate speed and distance. In addition, multiple profiles allow two riders who differ in weight, age and gender to share a bike, so Cyclo can more accurately calculate the calories of each cyclist.
To edit the default profile:
A verified profile cannot change the type again, as this affects your historical data. You can create a new profile to change the type.
The routing can be customised for each type.
To edit the route planning:
This setting allows you to set the route planning preferences by selecting "Prefer", "Allow" or "Try to avoid".
For information about default route plan settings, see the following table:

Cyclo Discover Connect allows you to recive incoming messages and phone calls. It is applicable to both iOS and Android systems.
Your device is equipped with maps that provide street information for navigation, including POIs (places of interest) such as bike shops, restaurants, emergency stations, and more.
If you choose "Navigate", there are several ways to choose your destination. For example, you can press the "Address" button to determine your destination by searching for the desired address.
If you want to navigate home for the first time and have not yet entered a home address yet, you will be prompted to search for an address using the Home setup wizard.
As soon as your home address is stored, simply press "GO" on the screen and you will be navigated home as quickly as possible.
This is the simplest method.
To set an address:
House number is optional, if this section is empty, Cyclo will take you to the middle of the street.
If you have previously searched for POIs, they will be displayed. Simply click on the POI you are looking for or press "New" to find other POIs. The search results are based on the settings made. Press the "Nearby" button and then select Nearby or City:
Nearby: Search for POIs near your current location
City: Search for POIs in a specific city
When the search result is selected, you can use “By Name” (keyword) or “By Category” to find a POI. The most common categories that have been listed for you in advance are: Emergency, Bike shop, and Food & Drink.
You can define a destination simply by marking a point on the map. If you don't know the exact address or coordinates, this is the easiest way to get to your destination.
You can manually enter the coordinates of your destination. Click the Longitude and Latitude fields to enter the coordinates of your destination.
The "Back to start" function enables your device to take you back to the start point.
Note: This function is only available when the recording mode is switched on.
The device has the Surprise Me™ function, which will offer you up to three exciting routes around your location.
If you have already taken a route from the same location, the device will try to suggest different routes based on the possible and available roads around your current location. So you will always be offered different routes.
To start Surprise Me™:
You can mark your current location as a POI in your track record under recording mode.
To mark a POI:
The map display impacts the navigation experience. It can be adjusted by the Maps setting.
To edit the Maps setting:

If selected, the map screen automatically zooms in or out, depending on your speed, for an optimal view of your route.
Show cities: show or hide the current city name on the navigation screen.

Whether you are cycling through small villages in rural France, exploring the sights of a big city like Amsterdam or driving through the Swiss Alps - with the new 'NeverMiss™' function you can plan your tour optimally.
To start planning a tour route:
Don't know where you want to go? The Cycling Trails function can help you with this.
Using Cycling Trails:
You must zoom in on Nodes to see numbers. The Node Network is popular in the Netherlands, Belgium and part of Germany.
Or you can use the search box to search for a place of interest or city to start.
The MioShare routing module ensures that you can ride on a safe bike route. Don't worry, you won't be navigated onto highways.
If you’re not satisfied with the automatically generated route through the route generator. You can easily adjust it.
Customize a route:
Click the "Save to Tours" button to save the route under Tours.
You can edit the route again at any time.
Edit the route again:
There is a list on the left side of the Create page. Every pinpoint that you draw on the map generates a waypoint on the list. Only if you have categorized the item will it become a POI. The POI becomes the stop and your Cyclo device alerts you when you approach the site with the NeverMiss™ function.
There are five predefined categories to choose from:
Each waypoint you created on the map shows the address or longitude / latitude of the waypoint. Click the three dot button to save the waypoint as a new place.
Place Manager allows you to create your own POIs. It is useful because you can re-use those places while creating a route.
To add a new place:
If you found a location information online, such as a wiki or someone's blog post, you can simply copy and paste the link to the Web link column. Clicking the Insert button, will automatically retrieve Name and Description from the website for you. Some websites may not support this function.
NeverMiss™ ensures that you don't miss any important points during the tour. If you have created routes with POIs or downloaded routes from RouteYou with MioShare, Cyclo will notify you as soon as you approach the defined points during your journey.
This is very useful for self-guided tours. It turns your Cyclo into a bike notebook.
If the POI contains a web link, you will receive a QR code with the NeverMiss™ notification. Scan the QR code with your smartphone to get a detailed description over the Internet.
Scan a QR code with your smartphone:
Open your camera app and point your device at the QR code for a few seconds. When a notification is displayed, your smartphone can automatically scan QR codes. You may need to select the mode on the camera screen to activate the QR code scanning function.
The automatic QR code reader is only supported by Android 9 or higher versions and iOS 11 or higher versions. If your smartphone has a lower version, you need a third-party QR code reader app to scan QR codes.
