Mileage Board

July 20th, 2010

Forward/Back buttons on top; Show more users button on bottom

Ever find the inexorable forward march of time tiring? What about the mileage board?

Now you can go back in time on the mileage board to the pedal ventures of yore. Click the chevron symbols («) to move forward or back a month and it will update instantly on the page.

What’s more, you can expand the mileage board to show up to 50 people from the default of 20. Simply click on the ellipses at the bottom of the board and it will update instantly in the page.

NOTE: This works on the home page only presently and will be soon be expanded to team mileage boards.

NOTE2: The mileage board is presently unable to predict your future mileage, so you may only move forward in time up to the current month.

Team Invites

July 16th, 2010

You do not need to send invites one by one in order to add members to your team.  We know you’ve got miles to run before you sleep, so we made things even easier for you.

Behold, the Team Invites feature, that can be accessed from the Team Invites menu click the Advanced Invites… button.

Bulk Inviter

Send as many invites as you like all at once with a single click. Add name/email pairs, write a message to everyone, and clickSend.

Once sent, check out the progress of your invites on the Invite History page.

Invites History & Resending

Here you can see invites you have sent in the past and if they were accepted. You can resend invites to users who might have accidentally deleted them or lost them in a spam filter.

For users that are accepted, you can see their RunPartner user name and click through to view their profiles.

NOTE: No HTML in the invite message please. It’s a security risk, so we’ll remove it.

FAQ

AutoRoute Greenways

July 13th, 2010

Central Park AutoRouted in just 4 clicks!

The RPMaps AutoRoute feature has been expanded to encompass walking directions. This means that you can AutoRoute along all

  • Greenways
  • Trails
  • Parks
  • Paths

that Google Maps presently shows marked on maps. Previously only roadways could be used.

What does this mean? Routing on a map used to take many if not hundreds of clicks to do accurately. Now, it can often take 5-10 clicks total. For example, the route around Central Park on the right took only 4 clicks to complete.


Note: that Google Maps still does not allow walking directions along some one way streets. There is an open support ticket with Google to work on the issue.
