    @chris-47 Welkom Chris. Het eerste punt in je route is een "hard" punt dat je moet passeren en niet overgeslagen kan worden. Misschien ben je beginnen te rijden voorbij dat punt. Als je een route maakt kun je het eerste punt dus beter op enige afstand van je daadwerkelijke startpunt plaatsen zodat je het wel voorbijrijdt. Welcome Chris. The first point in your route is a "hard" point that you must pass and cannot be skipped. You may have started driving past that point. When you create a route, it is therefore better to place the first point at some distance from your actual starting point so that you pass it.

    @colin-hodgkinson You're probably referring to the map overlays, as there have only ever been 3 different map options. The overlays are in the top right corner of the map display: [image: 1649177855400-screenshot-2022-04-05-at-18.55.29.png] The difference is that the map option (OpenStreetMap, TomTom or Garmin) determines which map is used to actually calculate the route, while the map overlays determine what the map looks like on screen. Several overlays also provide additional information.

    @howard-gold Hello Howard, the road between Tujetsch and Andermatt is closed, see the black lines on the road. You can make the traffic layer visible via the maplayers If you use the season closures option, the route will go over this stretch, as @Nick indicated [image: 1649051498771-30cda69f-a7a8-4781-9c72-c1bc378330b5-image.png]

    @jack-van-tilburg Thank you. I had it wrong about the XT. From looking at various posts on problems with sending files to it, I managed to get the impression that MRA .gpx 1.2 exists because MRA .gpx 1.1 would not work with the XT. I couldn’t get my head around why that should be, but let it pass. That blog went some way to sorting my wrong impression out. I still don’t know entirely why .gpx 1.2 exists, to be honest. But that is of absolutely no consequence whatsoever. I’m happy to leave it that way! And apologies for straying from topic and refraining from translation!

    @mark-hamilton-0 Thanks for your reply Mark, good to hear someone else has the same problem. I took a look at your link and see the developers are working on it. Let’s hope the next revision to V1.1 fixes the issue.

    @fozzie Hi Fozzie, welkom to to forum You can record this in 2 places in your routes and in 1 place in your tracks. Itineraries: Open your route, and go to "Route information" via the left dropdown menu. [image: 1646802113319-02d82b05-a689-48d7-acb4-5bb1e16b003c-image.png] In the description box you can put all the notes that you mentioned in your post. Via the same drop-down menu, you can go to "Comments" and you can also leave a comment here, but that is actually more intended for people who have driven your route. [image: 1646802170027-296328d0-e132-4c47-bbc9-489882629672-image.png] Track logs: Open the Tracklog, and in the left column, you will also see "Comments", this one is actually intended for people who use your track to leave a comment. [image: 1646802223506-42a5a3b0-cc34-4e9a-8a5e-7f6de016dbfc-image.png] Also take a look in the RouteXpert library and open a route that is there, the 1st text block you see is the text that is in the route information.
