The latest episode of WoZ is out, covering all things great and beautiful in our favorite virtual world.
It includes the always-interesting “Inside Line” segment (watch it here) featuring Zwift’s Lead Game Designer Wes Salmon. In this episode, Wes shows us a preview of the upgraded Route Selector screen which includes two much-requested features: a badge completion indicator and lead-in details!
Here’s what the screen looks like:
Along with this fun peak into future Zwift, host OJ Borg also brings us:
- OJ’s gravel challenge update: 7:47
- Workout of the Week details with Shayne Gaffney: 11:53
- The Feed Zone: 12:59
- ZRL Community Division highlights: 15:23
- Beach Island Loop Pride Ride recon with Lea Davison: 20:10
- and more!
Small changes, huge improvements
Definitely – such a simple addition of adding a small tick and lead-in to the route but will make a big difference. Long overdue but very welcome 🙂
This would be so welcomed.
Great! Definitely a very welcome change.
Route badge indicator is a game changer. Thank you Zwift.
I guess this is good for the newbies but once you have done a route once you get to know the lead in.
Things I wish they would fix and should be easy enough to implement:
Gradient graph on the london map – has been broken well over a year and works everywhere else and used to work in London. Does my head in!
No gradient indicator at all, anywhere in the companion app.
better metrics in the HUD or the companion app or both! avg watts and avg HR are surely a minimum option they have it (just hit menu and it tells you straight away!)
pre plan a custom route.
pick more than one route so they follow from one to the next – once you finish one route you then start the next (or navigate to the start if the end of one isn’t the start of the next)
those should be little changes and easy enough to do and would make things much better (for me at least)
Was excited to see this, too (even having completed all released routes!). Any info about when that next build will come out?
with the new zwift format I am no longer able to find and ride with riders who I follow who have already started zwifting . the old format would let me see what world they were riding in and I could click on them where it said ride with_____. and I would be right behind them. If there is a way with the new format I haven’t found it.
