Saving information for route planning

@Don-Stauffer said in Saving information for route planning:
I'm very curious to know how others build their routes.
My personal preference is to use the street view within the MRA Planner.
My preference for road types is those narrow country lanes with the grass in the middle.

Agree, I use 'street view' often, especially when there is a question regarding the type or or condition of a road.

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MRA-Master I am currently routing our next trip. I think being able to save text and hyperlinks to a user-created POI would be a great feature. In external notes, I have now collected contact info on hotels and restaurants for each night along our 12 day route, including cost for lodging. I have included many alternatives that are not considered top choice.
I do have POIs created for the hotels. I just need to be able to add the text. This would be useful in planning new trips as well, using a custom POI library.
For me, the biggest issue with user POIs at this time is that I cannot control which points are shown on the routing map. I would like to be able to hide places that I are not the top choice. Being able to change visibility from the POI menu would be perfect.
These are the POIs that I have created for possible lodging on one particular night. It's much easier to do it ahead of time than it is on the bike!
Typical info for one hotel POI that I have created:
"Montpelier, VT 6 hrs 37 min
The Inn at Montpelier
147 Main Street, Montpelier, VT $200ish per night

Walking distance:
Three penny Taproom, Bent Nails Bistro"Thanks for your consideration!
