@white-mouse-on-the-motorbike Thank you!
that is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!
Live and learn! 🙂

@Martin-Wilcke
Thank you for the great answer. I do export as Zumo XT 1.2 and rarely have an issue. But I have now learned that have to FEW shaping points can/will cause the Zumo to look for the default selection (Fastest, Shortest, Curvy) if it doesn't have another shaping point close enough to the last.

I'm still unclear on the value of export Route as a Track. Even after Serg's video I'm not sure what I am gaining. vs export to 1.2

@Michele-Skipper for what i understand is, you created 1 single route and now you want to divide it over several days based on distance/time like start date/end date /start time/end time.. am i correct?

in all fairness, i don't think this is possible. The only correct way to divide a long route in several routes is to use the split option as already suggested.

@Pascal-Balmey

No, that is not possible yet.

@Nick-Carthew Thank you Nick
I will check on Googlemaps tomorrow as it is 16:26hrs.
Anyway, as an example, what i see with Kurvinger using OpenStreetMap is very useful.

@Nick-Carthew I, too, would find it very helpful to have custom POIs be visible at every zoom level while navigating via MRA (the smartphone app). But what would elevate their usefulness even more, in my opinion, would be the possibility to add explanatory text and/or a picture rather than just a title. These metadata should show up once a custom POI is tapped, and there should be a bottom to "navigate to here". So, basically, a custom POI would GUI-wise behave a lot like a shaping point, yet would not be connected to/part of the route unless the user opts to actually go there. The use case I have in mind here is curating a collection of good restaurants close to a via point (say, the hotel) whilest planning, so that there are several options readily available when traveling - but choosing to ignore (some or all of) them doesn't interfere with the planned route.
