Best Practices for Creating Multi-Day Motorcycle Routes?
-
Hi everyone,
I’m relatively new to MyRouteApp and have been experimenting with creating multi-day motorcycle routes. I’m planning a long trip across multiple countries and want to ensure I get the best experience using the app. However, I have a few questions and would love to hear from experienced users.
How do you efficiently break a long journey into daily segments? Do you use a specific distance limit per day, or do you plan based on scenic stops and accommodations?
What’s the best way to manage waypoints to avoid unnecessary recalculations? I’ve noticed that sometimes my planned route changes slightly when loaded onto my GPS.
Are there any recommended settings for elevation changes and road preferences? I want to balance scenic routes with practicality.
How do you handle offline navigation? Is there a preferred way to download maps and ensure they work smoothly without mobile data?
Any general tips or hidden features in MyRouteApp that you’ve found useful for long trips?
I’d love to hear your insights and experiences, especially if you’ve done extended trips with the app. Any advice, sample routes, or best practices would be greatly appreciated!I also checked this: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/67/feature-suggestion-route-decision-points/golang
Looking forward to your responses. Thanks in advance!

Distance depends on roads for minor roads less distance. If I'm on my own I plan for 200-300 miles a day. With a group 180-250. With a pillion 150-200. I'm 63 that's based on years of experience and doing far too many miles when I was young. Obviously more stops=less distance.
If you are using a Garmin XT GPS you need plenty of shaping points to keep you on your desired roads.....its a "feature" of the product.The last few times I've navigated using MRA I've planned routes with my friends over a few beers as we went along. We were staying in hotels so had WiFi.
