Distance & time along a Route
-
Hi, once you have planned a route is there a way to see the distance and time to a certain point on the route? i.e. if I planned a 5 hour ride, set off at 10am and want to plan a stop for dinner say at 1pm, is there a way to see where i would roughly be at that time? Hopefully this makes sense, I've seen something like this on other route planners, you hover your cursor over a point in the route and it gives you distance and time. Thanks.

@Craig-4 Hi Craig, In the routepoints/waypoints overview in the 'big' menu bar left of the map, you can see the distance and time up to every routepount/waypoint. If you find your target to land between two waypoints, just add another waypoint and move it until you've found the target time/distance. You need to calculate though for a certain time target:
I.e: You start at 10:00, lets say waypoint 30 is at 100km/3h10, then with a margin you end up at that waypoint at 13:10. -
In addition to Stefan: Make the restaurant poi's visible and find a nice restaurant near your chosen waypoint.

@Arno-van-Lochem Yes indeed, I suggest also to turn on the cafe/pub POI since I've found that not always the restaurant or cafe is put into the correct category. I usually check the POI's with Google Hybrid overlay to confirm the intended restaurant/cafe.

When I plan a stop somewhere, I always check in Google if the restaurant still exists. And whether it will, for example, not open until 5 pm. Those kind of things.

@Arno-van-Lochem Yes, exactly that. I did the same thing for a trip to the Eifel coming August and found that the POI and Google Hybrid data did not match the actual restaurant based on address. Nice.

That's brilliant, thank you all for your help.
