    When I am out solo on the bike I tend to use Route-Tracks for their beautiful simplicity.
    I never use voice prompts or pre-plan stops.
    I just plot a Route-Track taking in as many Country Lanes as I can string together for the length of the Route.
    I stop only to take in the Scenery, Food/Drink/Petrol or just to stretch my ageing legs.
    Out of shear curiosity I was wondering if Route-Tracks had to be started at the Blue Flag only.
    It turns out that you can start a Route-Track at any point on the Route-Track, not just at the Blue Flag.
    Lots of scope there for populating an area with half a dozen overlapping Route-Tracks and jumping between them as you wish.

    You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.

      @Steve-Lynch that’s indeed correct! You are always rerouted to the nearest point on the track heading towards the destination 🙂

      Do take care for recalculations when you are are at the start of a roundtrip (so also near the end) - a recalculation then might result in the app sending you straight to the finish.

      Possibilities are endless!

        @Corjan-Meijerink

        For that very reason I wouldn’t use Roundtrips in this case.

        You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.
