Understanding the match score and route colouring

Summary

The Match score indicates how well a route aligns with your preferences regarding traffic, surface type, and climbs, while the green-orange colouring highlights specific sections that may differ from your settings.

Step-by-step instructions

The Match feature allows you to evaluate and compare different route suggestions before you start your ride:

  1. Compare the Match score:

    • Each suggested route displays a Match percentage.

    • This score shows how well the route meets your criteria for traffic, climbs, and type of surface.

    • Use this percentage to easily compare options and choose your preferred route.

  2. Analyse the route colouring:

    • Look at the green-orange colouring on the map for your chosen route.

    • Green sections: These parts of the route are a perfect fit for your set preferences.

    • Orange sections: These parts might differ slightly from your preferences, such as having increased traffic volume or steeper climbs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What factors influence the Match score?

    The score is calculated based on three main criteria: traffic levels, the intensity of climbs, and the type of surface.

  • Does a lower Match score mean the route is "bad"?

    Not necessarily. A lower score simply means the route contains more sections (orange) that deviate from your ideal settings, such as more hills or busier roads.
