Finally, what seemed to be a local error on several roads near my house has converted in a complete disaster in the treatment of the main spanish roads by Garmin Edge1040 unit which understands that the majority of roads frequented by cyclists in Spain are not suitable for use on a bicycle. To facilitate the understanding of this disaster, I am attaching a photo with the main Spanish roads. These main Spanish roads are designated with a letter (N) followed by a number (XXX). In the photo this roads are the blue ones. Thousands of kilometers, as you can imagine.
All these N(XXX) roads appear in OSM Maps "not classified" for bicycle access. As you can see in the pic below
As anyone with a modicum of common sense can imagine, the problem that all Garmin 1040 series users are having is tremendous. Climb Pro (the super announced feature) does not work on any of these roads (thousands of kilometers). Navigation whenever one of these roads is involved becomes a nightmare and what is more serious, something very dangerous since the Edge will only make beeps and illogical and/or dangerous routes avoiding this N(XXX) roads.
This is not a problem about the Garmin Maps, this is a problem about the way Edge 1040 interpret the classification of the N(XXX) roads. The classification in the map are good, Not classified for bicycles, it would not have to prohibit their use on a bicycle but due to some way or software error the device understands that they are prohibited for circulation on a bicycle
Finally, i attached a pic of one of this N roads N320 in this case as an example and a pic about strava segment as you all can see bicycle are accepted and are rode by thousand of users every year.
And finally (again) i ask someone at Garmin be sensitive to Spanish users who have been suffering from this big bug for months on a new (and expensive) unit without even someone at Garmin Spain realizing such a terrible mistake for any user. Or users from any country who visits Spain. I am open for anyone at Garmin Spain to contact me and help or explain anything that due to my poor use of English has not been clear. I demand a quick solution as well.
