Routes and Tracks

From the app, you can quickly display, open, and download your routes and tracks. Only the routes screen will be used for this explanation because the screen for tracks works the same.

Export routes

You have clicked on a route that you want to download it. In this menu, select the format in which you want to export the route and then click on 'Download'. You will then see a pop-up message to choose what you want to do with this route. This way you can immediately share the route or open it in the list of downloads in the app.

You can also choose the option 'Make available offline'. This saves the route for offline use in the app. This option is especially nice if you know that you want to view the route somewhere, regardless of the internet connection. All routes that have been made available offline can be found in your settings under 'available offline'.

The route can be found on your device no matter what you click. With Android, the route can now be seen in 'Downloads'. On iOS, the route can be found in 'Files'. If you click here on 'On my iPhone/iPad' you will see that a folder has been created called 'MyRoute-app'.

Import routes

Have you received a nice route and want to see it in the app? That's no problem either! Open the route on your device and select MyRoute-app. ATTENTION! The route is only imported into the app, so the route is not visible on the website.

Immediately upon opening the app, you will be asked whether the route should be saved for offline use. If you'd rather not do this, tap anywhere else on the screen (not the notification itself) to dismiss the notification.

ATTENTION! It is only possible to import with .GPX files.

Easily generate routes

With the app, it is possible to easily generate a route. For this, it is important to first know the different possible start options. Subsequently, it will be further explained how exactly it works.

The different possibilities to generate a route:

Search: By clicking on the magnifying glass at the top right of the start screen you will be given the option to specify a location where you would like to go. Here you can choose an address, a place name, a company, but also a route name from your collection.
Favorite: Open the favorites list and click on the relevant favorite location and a route will be created there.
Place waypoint on map: Do you know approximately where you need to be and would you rather place the point on the map yourself? Go to the correct location and place the point by long-pressing the screen on this spot. This way a route point will automatically appear on the map to which the route can be made.
Round trip generator: The round trip generator can quickly create an extensive tour for you. You just have to pass on a few wishes and it will do its utmost to make the best tour for you.

A-B route

The search, favorite, and place a waypoint on the map options all fall under the category called ‘Generate A-B route’. In short, you are at point A and only want to navigate to point B. When generating this type of route, the screen below is displayed.

Final destination: Here you can see where to the route is generated.
Save/edit location: Click here to save the currently selected location as a favorite. If it is already a favorite location, click here to edit it.
Curvature: Determine how winding the route can be with these buttons. In other words: do you want to go to your destination in a straight line or with a detour?
Travel mode: Before the route is generated or started, it is possible to adjust the travel mode.
Navigate: If you have the Navigation subscription, you can click here to open the navigation in the app.
Distance and duration: See here how far and how long the route will be.
Allowed roads: Select here which roads may or may not be used for generating the route.

Round trip

You don't have a suitable route, but you want to quickly make and drive a nice tour. Open the menu and click on ‘Round trip’ to open the generator.

Current location: Here you can see your current location from which the tour will be made.
Curvature: Determine how winding the route can be with these buttons. In other words: do you want to go to your destination in a straight line or with a detour?
Travel mode: Before the route is generated or started, it is possible to adjust the travel mode.
Navigate: If you have the Navigation subscription, you can click here to open the navigation in the app.
Tour length: Use the slider to determine how long the tour should be.
Direction: Use this button to determine the direction of the tour. Clicking once will move the direction clockwise and holding the button a little longer will move the direction counterclockwise. ATTENTION! Sometimes the tour with the chosen distance cannot be made in a certain direction, for example, a tour to the west if you live on the west coast. In this case, the generator will give an error message.
Distance and duration: See here how far and how long the route will be.
Allowed roads: Select here which roads may or may not be used for generating the route.

RouteXpert Library

Routes in the Neighborhood: From this screen, it is also possible to go directly to Routes in the Neighborhood. This way you can easily find the routes from the library that are near you at that moment. ATTENTION! This functionality requires at least the Silver subscription or Navigation subscription.
Multiple routes: This icon indicates that there are several routes in this region. Click on it and it will automatically zoom in to show these routes. If multiple routes start from the same location, a list of these routes will be displayed.
Route: You will see this icon for a single route from the library. So, if you click on this, you will immediately reach the screen of the route in question.
