@BertM I switched them back to Friends until I'm confident they are following the MRA Standards for Routes. I'll friend you and if you can have a look and let me know if they are up to snuff, be greatly appreciated! Cheers B

@Bull-Tahr It’s not MRA standards that your routes need to follow. But they do need to be accurately defined and if your intention is for other users to use them, then the routes should also be adjusted so that all planning maps follow the same routes.
These are of course the minimum standards that MRA RouteXpert routes use but they are also standards that as route planners we should all follow.

Could you spare a few minutes and check a few of mine for format etc, esp since you have ridden some of these roads.....

@bull-tahr To get your routes visible in your route libary you must use the Car profile and not the motor profile, this is a bug in the program that hopefully will be solved in the upcomming version.

routes are looking good, one comments and this is what I prefer.
On the below you have the stop as a Via point, I personal do not use via points for that, as it is a choice to stop. with a via point you must always hit the point otherwise the program will always lead you back to that point. To hit the point on a busy carpark will be a challange.

[Bull Tahr]

True that, I can adjust the Via back to the highway. I thought that Photo stops are preferred as Vias and not just points, this is why, but I understand what you are saying about having to go thru a very busy carpark! I will adjust. Thanks so much.

[Bull Tahr]

All adjusted, I think. 1 thing, Viewpoint and Camera POIs, just wondering why these are 2 seperate POI catergories and not the same thing really. If it's worth looking at, you might want to stop and take a photo??

You are right that it should be a via point with your explanation

At Every viewpoint you can take a photo but not every place you take a photo is a viewpoint

To see the routes of a friend you must be friends and the routes must be set to at least friends to see them in your friends library.
The car or bike profile is of no interest.
However if you use the bike profile bare in mind that those routes, once exported by the recipiënt to their nav can't be used since Garmin does not allow the bike profile. Therefore the carefully composed route will be recalculated by the Garmin and thus messed up.
My advise use the car profile like all the RouteXperts do
