features for realy long trips
-
Today MyRouteApp is very good to plan a days trip, but is not so good for planing very long trips.
e.g. I am just back from a 6 Weeks trip to the Arabian Peninsula.
I did outline the rough way points like Home-Bagdad-Dubai-Muscat-Riyadh to get an overall feeling of distance and duration.
Then for the individual day trip I had to plan on a day to day basis.
I found my way around, but I wish I could be better assisted.
e.g. being able to split out a part of trip to a day trip allowing me to do detail planning, add the Hotel (which I only book day in advance), etc.
and then it would be nice to see this individual trip again represented/updated on the overall trip.
Also for the tracklogs it would be nice to be able to save or group them with the overall Trip (today you have to each time to manually select them ...)
Also the system need to better support higher numbers of waypoints (today you run into issues if there are to many waypoints)
This is a sort of roll forward planning. So I have a rough plan, which I refine on a days basis.
This might not be the end of the needs - I am happy to discuss

You didn't split the route at home when you plotted the total route?
I always split the route in several parts.
As example:
When i plan to drive 300 km the first day, i create 1 long route for the whole day which i split up in several parts depending on the distance, riding time and were i want to stop to rest or have a drink/meal.So, the route of 300 km will be divided into 3 separate routes:
part 1 - 100 km start home stop at gas station
part 2 - 100 km start at gas station stop at restaurant
part 3 - 100 km start at restaurant stop at hotel
(this is just an example)When i get to my stop/rest, i load the next part before i go back on the road. Thus, i have no issues at all with long routes, clumped together information, wrong directions, whatever. It keeps the route clear, easy and simple for me.

This might not be the end of the needs - I am happy to discuss@Robert-Laudensack and the "split mechanism" is comfortably - because if you define a route point for split - the system will use it as end point for the first stretch and as well as start point for the next stretch automatically.
