I've just used the free version of MyRoute, what's the additional benefits of paying a fee?

I honestly can't remember the difference between the two as I have had the paid version for so long

@MikeS try here https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/shop

One feature I do like is changing to here maps which is what garmin use and it usually gives similar routing to the zumo

If you hold out you will eventually get the offer of a one time lifetime purchase

Route for the Dumfries trip. Still tweaking it so not the final draft but just to have a look at. If any of the basecamp gurus see any glaring errors let me know.

Created on MyRoute App and Ive opened it on basecamp (seems Ok as long as fastest route is the default setting). Don't understand why the waypoints don't appear on the map in basecamp.

Just under 5 hours and a fraction over 230 miles.

Coffee stop at 2 hours in (David's Snack Bar , so no seats) and petrol at 137 miles. Need to think about a lunch stop (unless you don't want one).

Hi Mike, I've imported the .gpx file into BaseCamp and created a route from the track.

It's come up with the same 230 miles in a riding time of 4 hours 40 minutes.

[MikeS]

Cheers David.

Don't understand why the waypoints don't appear on the map in basecamp.

Could be because the waypoints are actually shaping points which don't show on the map.

This is what comes up on the connected ride app.

Same mileage but different time. Is that real time? As in allowing for current traffic conditions.

[David.]

Is that real time.

It's GS time!

Yes, It takes live traffic/roadworks into consideration.

Found David's Snack Bar (near Girvan) and had a go at creating two linear routes from the .gpx track provided.



The mileage of 230 is still the same but the time is now 4 hr 52 min.

Coffee stop at 2 hours. Need to think about a lunch stop (unless you don't want one).

The smokers are likely to want more frequent fag breaks!

[MikeS]

Hadn't thought about that.

Hadn't thought about that.

I was getting nagged at yesterday when the section riding times were 1.25 to 1.5 hours between P&T stops.

Tried to book the Italian restaurant for Saturday night ( left it till a month before to be sure of final numbers), turns out that's when they have their two week summer holiday.
So, plan b to be decided.
