In other words just not see the waypoints.
Thanks!Positive emotions are worth every penny ;)

Thanks!@Lenny-O this was explained in another post recently. On the web page, open a new route, on the left side menu, select Route, scroll down and select the route you want and the colour and show the route. This can't be saved. Possible future option for the web site.

@RetiredWingMan Thank you, but that's not quite what I want.
You are talkin about adding a route to the same screen with the Route in view.
I would like to see the same Route I am viewing as a track (just not see the waypoints).
Are we on the same page or I am missing something?Positive emotions are worth every penny ;)

@RetiredWingMan is completely right as there are only workarounds for this at the moment. But just a clarification here:
If you show the route as @RetiredWingMan said by adding it to an empty route, it is not added "as a route" but instead as a track! That does exactly what you like to do, however it cannot be done "in your own open route" so to say.You always need a new empty route to show it in.
You may also try this one: save your route as a gpx 1.1 track only and upload it back into your account. Using the same method you can add the track into the route you just saved. This is the only option which enables you to show your route as a track in the same active screen since you add "a different entity" into your route, which is not the case when adding your route to your route.... Hmm sounds confusing, but you get it haha!
Hope that helps... We'll have to be patient for the Devs to pick up the routeplanner re-design which promises a lot of nice features, even more than we already have now.
Edit: I just thought of another workaround, instead of saving your route as a gpx track file, just simply copy your existing route in your account. Since it is not possible to add your route to itself, adding the copy is possible! Why did I never think of this before.
Doing so shows your route and "track" of the copy in the same route screen.All the above just to "hide the waypoints" haha!

That is often the case with workarounds.

@Stefan-Hummelink Thank you so very much for the clarification!
The workaround i figured out
But what I was missing from the suggestion of @RetiredWingMan is that I needed an empty screen and then add my route.
This is so simple and brilliant, that I did not think of it!
Thank you all for your wisdom!
