How to incorporate public gravel roads when planning a route
-
Hi everyone new to the group here looking forward to planning some good routes this year I’ve just splashed out for gold membership.. as planing a trip with the boys in Spain .. great planning app in fairness which is why I decided to sign up for gold membership.. only thing we were hoping to do some official public light gravel roads ( not tet routes ) around where we’re staying we all use tomtom riders so I use the tomtom map in route lab to map routes as advised but should I use a different map? when I plan a route on route lab it only seems to plan all tarmac roads I’ve tried checking all the boxes in the toolkit all to no avail… anyone know how to fix this
Thanks in advance � -
@derek-c
Do you have unmarked this option?

Explicit preference of gravel roads is not supported.
Best would be to plan in OSM as they have more gravel roads mapped and then convert the route to TomTom. -
Thanks for the speedy reply much appreciated i’m new to all this route planning what is this OSM is it another app related to my route app if not, can I download it to the MyRoute-app to view it and change it if necessary? app?@Corjan-Meijerink

@derek-c Oh sorry, just select OpenStreetMap where it says "TomTom" in the screenshot above. This will allow you to use that map which quite often includes more offroad roads.

@derek-c You are aware that if a road that you planned using another map (e.g. OSM) than that of TomTom, the TomTom software will automatically choose to take another road on its map?
