We’re here again.
It seems like every other week we’re releasing new updates. I guess this is by virtue of the platform and how we work. We get it, downloading updates can be painful but it’s definitely worthwhile.
Every release we do adds more to the user experience and more stability.
My pithy version of the release notes is below for you to take in.
SCREEN
Added a wide range of fixes focussed on improving stability for users with less reliable internet connections
This is undersold in this statement. The whole team, including those less technical (like me) got involved testing a wide range of equipment combinations trying to recreate edge cases reported by some users.
This was reasonably productive but the heavy lifting was done by Mike and Matt who painstakingly worked through old code looking for problems. Issues that would be manifested by disconnects on unstable internet connections were found and FIXED.
Fixed an issue to enable Strava auto image upload to work on Mac OS
See my last update for details on this, but basically Mac OS was not working. It is now
Fixed an issue where some devices would not show the elevation map
A small issue where the gradient map was not showing in the top right hand corner for a small number of devices has been fixed.
Added a feature to show power zone bars (based on user FTP) to the rider list and the rider name tags
A big one for racing. A step in the right direction for providing insight to competitors and spectators on the level of effort athletes are exerting. The colour banding changes based on your FTP (or default values is you try and fudge it).
I personally love this feature.
Fixed an issue where the App would quit unexpectedly when ending an event on iPad and Apple TV
I have no idea about this one other than it was hard to recreate for us and has been fixed.
Fixed an issue where the end ride summary screen would not show
A real frustration when it did happen as you didn’t get the ride data without viewing ride history. Fixed now.
Added a feature to enable a full route elevation map (activated by pressing Shift F9)
You asked for this. It looks great, I think it can be activated on ATV using the play pause button.
It’s Invaluable for racing.

Tweaked picture in picture for spectate mode
Not sure what the tweak was but I understand it makes the experience better.
Fixed an issue where road nodes would download when already committed to memory
Exclusive to Apple TV, it’s good housekeeping and will result in general stability improvements.
Mobile
Added a wide range of fixes focussed on improving stability for users with less reliable internet connections
As above!
As always enjoy!

It’s just getting better and better, so glad I signed up.
Thanks 🙂

So are we 😉
Hi, I cannot get the full route elevation map using iMac or iPad, tried many different keys with F9 and does not show. Does it work with MAC OS ?
Hi
Thanks for your reply 🙂
To use the standard function keys, hold the Fn (Function) key when pressing a function key. For example, pressing both Fn and F9 performs the show and hide the elevation map command.
Thanks

Joined the RGT platform recently following a couple of years on Zwift… love what the team at RGT have created, and wish I had discovered it sooner!
YES! Thanks for the feedback!
We love hearing this kind of thing from users!
Can I use RGT with Wattbike Atom?

Yes, have you tried yet?
Great platform… Any chance you’ll accommodate runners on the platform using a foot pod or BLE watch data?
Coming from Zwift, Rouvy and Bkool the plans are to remain in RGT for a long season….
Thanks! Great to hear that Luis!
Another recent convert to RGT here – loving it so far and looking forward to seeing how it develops. One quick question…is it possible to see a power graphic at the bottom of the screen like you can in Zwift? I find that quite useful.
That’s not possible right now
Hi, I have put the wrong Strava account for RGT to connect with so I can upload my rides. I want to change the Strava account to the correct one, but can’t see how I can amend this. Any ideas?
Try this: In the Phone App click on the 3 bar menu on the top right of the screen. Go to Settings/CONNECTED APPS. DISCONNECT from Strava then reconnect to the correct account. See the video on this page: https://www.rgtcycling.com/get-started/
