I just want to browse the map!
-
Apologies if this has been covered before. I tried searching the community forum but did not come up with anything useful (the fact that a significant portion of the forum is in "foreign" does not help!).
I just want to browse the maps and overlays without actually creating a new route. Currently, the only way I can see to browse the maps and overlays is to create a new route and then go back afterwards and delete the route! I don't always want to create a route! Surely I must be missing something that's staring me in the face.

Not that I'm aware of.
Why don't you simply create a new route, call it Browse, and use this every time you only want to look at the maps. -

@Stevedo-6-0 You can already browse the overlay maps directly from the website's home screen. The only thing to keep in mind is that the square tool in the top-left corner of the map, which is used to create a Scenic Route, remains active. Other than that, you can scroll through all the overlay maps and view them one by one.
Is it a bit annoying? Yes, it is. Another option is to create a single route called something like "Test" with just one route point. Whenever you want to browse the planning maps and/or overlay maps, simply open this route and you're free to explore without having to create a new one each time.
Hopefully this will be improved in the future once the website has been completely redesigned. A lot of effort is currently being invested in that.

I would consider it a step forward for the planner if creating a route first wasn't necessary. I was asking in my original post if I'd missed anything obvious in trying to just browse the map. Apparently I haven't.

This is a really poor interface just to browse the map, even when I put my browser into full screen mode and collapse the pane on the left hand side.
As you say, hopefully this will be improved in the future.

As I said... annoying! But the alternative really works fine. Just create one route and use it for all times.
