Progress map - show route length

It'd be nice if the route pop-ups on the Progress Map included the distances to help planning/scanning for routes and combinations needing to be verified. I've seen another Arcis map, for Scottish Core Paths, which has different info on the 1/2 and 2/2 boxes, so it seems possible.

Also would it help, or not, to flag up individual routes where the no. of reviews doesn't sync with the main site? It's a great tool regardless, especially now it's updated!

  Belated follow up, 

  There's a similar pop-up for Routes when you long press on one from the slowways.org maps (android). Unlike the progress map pop up it doesn't give any information about the route just 5 links/ actions / links.

  View Route Details

  Review this route

  Suggest a better route

  Please could the long press/ right click show length? This would greatly reduce the time needed or me to chose a route to walk. I know it's on the journey planner already but in the long-term lengh will be more imprtant than Verifcation status important as that should become ubiquitous.

  As a tangent, do you have comparable usage data for the 5 options that curently come up? Could they could be tweaked? Itd make some space for a length indicator but also prrhaps, if te data shows some are rarely used then different options could be trialled. E.g. 'Read the Reviews' might be more useful here than ‘Suggest a better route’

  Hi Daisy,

  Thanks for you suggest.  I'll share it with the team and see what is possible.  

  We do have usage data for the 5 options to review periodically.  I'll pass on your suggestion though about what might be more helpful to have in the options.

  Best wishes,
  Cristie
