Hi everyone,
I use MyRoute-app — both on desktop and mobile — and I really appreciate the ability to save Favorite POIs for future trip planning.
However, I think the Favorite POI system could be improved to make route planning easier and more organized.
Here are some suggestions I’d like to propose:
Show favorites on the map
It would be great if Favorite POIs could be visible on the map, similar to how it works in TomTom Planner.
Ideally, there should be a toggle to show/hide them, both in the web planner and the mobile app.
Categories or tags
I know the request to categorize POIs has been made before.
Maybe full-blown categories are technically complex — but adding a simple tag system could be a more feasible solution.
For example, allowing users to assign tags like “Hotel”, “Pass”, “Food Stop”, etc., and then filter by tag when needed.
More icons
The current icon set is quite limited. A wider selection of icons (e.g. hotel, tent, parking, mountain pass, binoculars) would help visually distinguish different types of POIs at a glance.
Better management interface
A more advanced interface for managing Favorites would be welcome — including batch editing, filtering, sorting, and grouping by tag.
Sharing Favorites (future idea)
As a future enhancement, it could be nice to share public categories or tag groups of favorites — like “Offroad Tracks”, “Mountain Passes”, etc. This would allow collaboration between users or communities.
I understand some of these ideas may be more complex to implement, but even starting with just map visibility, tagging, and more icons would already make a big difference.
What do you think? Do other users feel the same need?
Thanks in advance — and happy riding!
