One useful source of route suggestions, lives inside MyRoute itself. Here is an example:

Do you have to use them exactly? No, of course not.

Will you like all the roads? Who knows. Have a look at some of them, using MyRoute’s ability to summon up Google’s Street View. The route in the example above does sometimes take some pretty small single track roads along some Fenland’like dykes. Would I ride them on my 1600? Yes,

Tap around, you can’t break it.

Welcome.

The ‘Route experts’ do work pretty hard to create decent routes, often putting in things to see and do, hotels and the like. Mix in MyRoutes]’s ability to show Street View and the Michelin map layer and it’s pretty powerful.

To my mind, nobody can know ‘All the routes”. I beg, steal and borrow from all over the place, putting them into a library or sorts. Will I ever use them all? No, of course not. But sometimes, it’s just nice to look at someone else’s suggestion to see what they did. For example, in post #1, the fellow takes some of the very narrow roads. I have been down some very similar in the area and ‘sort of know it’ but it’s interesting to see them in Street View and how he used them.

A useful trick is to superimpose the suggestions on top of your route, to see how they might relate to each other. Ironically, it is in doing this, where BaseCamp wins out. It’s a little more fiddly in MyRoute but, once you get the hang of it, it’s not too hard.

Richard: probably worth reminding folks how to do this
