Snagged a few tiles (6) on my hybrid in Oxford yesterday after an appointment at the Churchill. I didn't plan a route, but I had the live display of tiles on my Garmin so I knew roughly which direction to aim for.

How do you do that?

A late post ,Mays imperial ton ride saw me return south to grab the square I left last month via the towpath and another off road one right of Flecknoe .10 squares grabbed total now 7377 ,max cluster up 15 to 3892

You could have gone from Braunston to Wolfhamcote / Flecknoe on the footpath, it's a bit bobbly, but doable (slowly) on a road-bike

Ive not used it yet but I've got this on my Garmin https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/e53331b6-55db-475a-99e9-3f567327e7ce

There is a Garmin connect iq data field app called EveryTile.

It’s a bit fiddly to import your KML data, but it is very helpful when you get it going

A little excursion this morning around Yardley Gobion to fill a big hole in my North-Eastern corner. That now brings me to 28 square, up from 26.

Just seen your map on Strava @alex_cycles. You can't put it off forever - at some point you're going to have to come to Aylesbury if you want to expand that square any further! I promise it's not THAT bad...

It is going to happen. I've already been looking at routes through Quainton and trying to work out if I need to go road or gravel to get all the squares. I'm getting there gradually. If you look at the circle and the square you can see I have some "technical debt in the East and South to realign my symmetry. Aylesbury is one of my "low hanging fruit" targets

The bad news is that Everytile seems to have stopped working properly. I used to be able to update my Map String with the Connect IQ app, but that is now failing. It's also failing on Garmin Express (and yes I have changed home tile co-ordinates).

I've submitted a query, but I won't hold my breath.

All the squares round there are gettable on tarmac - certainly I haven’t had any trouble and I only have a road bike (albeit with 32mm tyres). Any squares you aren’t sure on, let me know and I’ll tell you how I crossed them off.

HS2 and EWR have actually been the bigger problem but works (at least on road bridges anyway) are starting to wrap up soon so that won’t be an issue for much longer.
