    @Nick-Carthew I didn't know about this 'compare with' tool but will definitely check it out, thank you for your great help!
    It would be great to know if this one route which I finalised now (properly zoomed in and placed turns as should) is top notch. Would you mind having a look at it?
    same link : https://www.myrouteapp.com/route/open/3511843

    5 more day routes to go, but if I know about this one already, then I know where to alter if needed. THANK you !

    @Trui-Hanoulle No problem. I have downloaded the route so you can change the privacy now. I will look at it in the morning when I switch my PC on and then give you some feedback.

      @Nick-Carthew great !
      just modified the last bits on day 5, tried the 'cw' tool with 'here', and adapted two locations.
      Tomtom gives odd curls in a few places. I can compare with the track I actually rode, so I know for a fact what can be done. (I had a few 'no go' roads so turned around and do not included those of course) : https://www.myrouteapp.com/routetrack/open/3488620 (track now public)

        @Trui-Hanoulle I generally find the TomTom map to be more accurate so if there is a discrepancy, I tend towards trusting the TT.
        I will look in the morning and give you complete feedback and maybe some tips for getting the best out of all the tools.

          Hi @Trui-Hanoulle I have overlaid your track (yellow) by selecting 'Routes' in the left column and then 'Add'. I have the Compare With TomTom and Garmin tool turned on. TT is red and Garmin is green. There are several places where TT and Garmin disagree with your black route and yellow track. If you were to share this route to other users as it is, TT and Garmin users will have problems. Some of the discrepancies are caused because you have chosen to go off road. There are solutions that will enable ALL users to follow your intended route. Some solutions are an easy fix and just require moving a route point and some are a little more complicated. See my next pictures.

              @Trui-Hanoulle Some fixes involve a little more work and an understanding of how certain functions work.

                    @Nick-Carthew you caught me, haha ! I didn't remember that I ignored this sign indeed ;))) And I shouldn't promote illegal riding, obviously.

                      @Nick-Carthew As for the offroad, this has been a choice and is written as such in the article. I go offroad wherever possible (which is not very often alas in Belgium).

                      This very image (starting point): I noticed differences indeed + I rode into Lux for fuel (yellow line) but do not want to add that to the route β€” that's everybody's own choice.
                      I fixed that one immediately, and will fix the other places too, especially the one with the sign, ha.

                        @Nick-Carthew Thank you so much for your offer and very good help.
                        I will change it myself, no worries.
                        I also modified my own track (yellow) for the final route. In one part I skipped an interesting option to stay closer to the border, in another I added specific waypoints (on the Vennbahn which is a train track still belonging to Belgium...!).

                        Readers do download the gps-files but they are not Americans who would sue the magazine / me for having a mistake somewhere. On the other hand, of course I try to make it as accurate as possible.

                        THANK you and YESSSS, you bet I enjoy making routes ! But enjoy even more riding them ! Next article up is the Iron Curtain and Italian Northeastern mountains, which I rode afterwards. For Germany I prepared also like mad on MR, for Italy I used old school maps. Both I tracked what I rode for the 2 articles.
                        I'm a maps freak actually, still taking those along and a compass and altimeter even, hihi.

                        Have a GOOD 2021 and 'talk' to you later, Nick !
