When I select a particular route I.e. this morning I selected Tick Tock from the Watopia course and then hit ‘Go ride’. I didn’t change the route at all during the ride but there is no notification to say I had completed it. I did the distance and ended up going a little more. When I check in my achievement badges it doesn’t show that I completed any routes when I know i have.
Your question is more or less a subliminal request.
This should be build in.
Every route you have chosen on startup you should see a progress bar!
Big enough to see progress.
When finishing a route you should get experience like getting it when finishing Alp du Zwift route. The longer the route the more experience. The faster you go the more experience. You should get some reward for beeing faster to your previous time and for reaching very good times f.ex. holding around 4 wpk or 5 wpk over the whole route. It would make sense to get more or only experience when riding solo. Would be fun.
I can’t recall but I think the spawn point is after the banner. (I have to confirm)
If that is true then you need to make a U turn as you start, go under the banner do another U -turn and then do the lap.
Routes completed before this new feature started don’t count
You need to choose the route you want from the main menu. You will not get a badge if you manually navigate the route.
I have always gotten a banner indicating that I completed a route.
Where you spawn to start your ride is not the beginning of the route. Generally it starts a little later at a banner but I have noticed that you may need to ride for a little while longer than 1 lap of the route before you get the banner showing your completion.
You need to complete your ride…sign out… and back in if you want to do a second route or third etc…
