@Jörgen, on the planning map, enable a POI category. If you see a POI on the map, click it and click this symbol to add it to your route:

Add it as a POI (adding it as a waypoint immediately routes through it) in the next window.

This POI will be visible while driving the route, and by long-pressing it you can add it to the route.

Now you can add multiple possible lunch spots as POI to your route, and choose the most convenient one during your ride.

sometimes you have to take me by the hand

Thank you!

[Con Hennekens]

@Jörgen, you are welcome. Educational for many I think

[Nick Carthew]

@Jörgen There could be a problem if you choose to navigate to a POI. Your example above @Con-Hennekens highlights my point exactly. Many POIs are not positioned on the road so this could cause problems. Better to add a new route point that is correctly positioned.

[Con Hennekens]

@Nick-Carthew, entirely true! Corjan foresaw that too, and made pressing somewhere on the chart (the place where you are likely to park) as easy as pressing the POI itself

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Nick-Carthew I combine the best of both worlds: When we assume a lunch stop, I place a POI just as @Con-Hennekens does. Then, I add a viapoint (with the appropriate pause-icon) just before it and name that point after the stop. I might include some brief explanations in the notes. Additionally, within 2000 meters of that waypoint, I add a shapingpoint to ensure I receive voice instructions.

[Con Hennekens]

@Rob-Verhoeff, that's great for certain stops. Often where you lunch (example) will be dependent on how your tour is getting on (some are quicker than others or you needed to fix a puncture or some other unplanned stops). Then it is nice to have multiple POI for lunch along the route, but you do not want to visit all of them. The new feature shows them on the map, but does not route to them before you explicitly choose one.

The new feature

Not yet between my ears... And as far as flat tires are concerned... I've never experienced it in the 40 years that I've been driving

You are one lucky lucky man, and I want to ride in your tyre tracks forever.

Those bacon strips will probably be too dry by now.

Geweldige update weer Corjan! Dank daarvoor

[Drabslab]

@Rob-Verhoeff i got two on my KTM. One less than a day after i bought it, one in the rain somewhere in France in the mountains.

And the repair set could not repair it I spent all the cartridges and luckily reached a garage 5 minutes before it closed.
