Zwift version 1.80 begins its phased rollout today. While not a major release, Zwifters will be happy to learn that this update brings the new minimap route profile view to all maps. Let’s dive into the details!
Minimap Route Profile Now On All Maps
The new minimap route profile was enabled for Watopia around a month ago, and today’s update rolls out that same view on all other Zwift maps. This will be especially helpful on confusing maps like Neokyo and NYC!
The new profile view clearly shows your full route, progress, any leaderboard segment banners, and how far you have left to go to finish the route. It also shows a lap counter in events, and a blue lead-in section for routes with lead-ins.
Note: if you make a manual turn and deviate from a route at an intersection, the original overview will be shown instead.
New “Screen Shake Effect” Toggle
The screen shake effect can now be disabled in Settings under the Audio & Video tab:
When disabled, the screen will no longer shake when riding on rough surfaces like cobblestones and wooden bridges. Here’s a quick demo showing how gameplay appears with it turned on and off:
More Release Notes
Zwift provided notes on additional tweaks and bug fixes in this update (notes in italics from me):
- Fixed an issue that could potentially show incorrect elevation in the dynamic elevation display for the climb in Jarvis and The Grade in Watopia.
- Fixed incorrect pedestrian walking animations in New York.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the elapsed time icon to overlap with the time value.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the “More Power!” alert to overlap with the average power value shown during ramp test workouts.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the speed unit shown in the HUD to overlap with the distance value.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the in-game leaderboard sidebar to overlap with the upcoming event countdown.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent the Shorelines and Summits route in Watopia from being completed if scheduled for multiple laps in an event.
- Corrected the peak difficulty of the Tractor Pulls workout which was previously higher than intended. (It asked for 25-second pulls, at 50rpm and 300% of FTP!)
- Training Stress Score (TSS) has been renamed to Stress Points (SP). (This is surely a result of TrainingPeaks acquiring IndieVelo…)
- Android
- Fixed missing bridge railings in the Shisa Shakedown route in Makuri Islands.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the Zwifter’s level to not be shown in the HUD after receiving a Ride On.
- iOS, tvOS
