Accumulation of mileage.

Chris 3u · 4 Dec 2020, 18:02

Hi.
I have opened a folder for my trip. Within the folder is 21 routes ( 1 route per day ).
On each day i can see a Mileage for each day.
The question is.
Is it possibly to tally the mileage for each day so that it gives me a total mileage for the trip?
Thanks
Chris

@Chris-3u Got a calculator They are separate routes so the answer is no. You can join all the routes together, but it would be quicker and easier to use a calculator.

@Chris-3u You should have one on your PC, laptop or whatever you are route planning on. I often use mine on my PC. It’ll open in a little window with your route mileages all visible to type in.

Actually, you could do a new 'long' route where you add all the daily routes. This will give you the complete route and milage. However, this is a bit cumbersome for 21 routes and a calculator is defenetly faster.

@Chris-3u It depends on how you "construct" your holiday.

What you can do is make an outline of a, let's say 5 days, trip on one route; This roundtrip only contains the guestimated main routepoints; starting and end points, and main places to visit. With the new MRA calculator it is now very easy to build such routes and cut the whole journey into e.g. 300 km stretches for each day. The final version for 5 days has maximum 15 waypoints.

Keep that route (R0 - Outline), split the route in 5 seperate routes (D1 -D5) and start detailing each route. That usually leads to the route becoming longer :-).

With the "add routes" function of the routeplanner, it is very easy to copy a fully detailed trip back in the R0 and delete the few overlapping routepoints from the original R0. As you progress, you have your full journey calcualted in the R0.
