FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequent questions about Vistavel.
Your questions
How is a ride composed?
Points of interest around the start are read from OpenStreetMap, then picked by direction sectors to close a loop of the desired length; a bike router then draws each ride. Rides that look too alike are dropped.
What does the e-bike change?
Assistance makes hills less penalising: the route accepts more relief, speed and riding time change, calories count only the rider's share, and the remaining range is estimated at charging points.
Is the weather of the 3D flyover real?
Yes: Open-Meteo hourly forecasts at the start date and time you enter, applied to where you would be at each moment of the ride (sky, clouds, rain, snow, wind, night, sun). Beyond 16 days no forecast is available.
Can I load the ride on my bike computer?
Yes, as GPX: Garmin Connect, Wahoo, Komoot, Strava and most apps import it. The file carries the ride name and the vistavel.com signature.
