Please can someone tell me if I can overlay 4 routes I have plotted on one screen? Be handy for me to be able to see where I need to stay to ensure no back and forth or riding past routes I need to do.
Thanks

Assuming you’re planning in the browser:

On the left set of menus (with your route open for editing) click “routes”
Click add
Add in the routes you want to show
You can click the coloured square next to each route to change its colour

You diamond!
That has really helped me out. I can now see that I can link 2 of my routes and this will save me time and make my progress more efficient.
Really appreciate that.
 
You can change the colour of each route or tack in the overlay, too. Quite often I find this beneficial.

Another useful feature is that MyRoute ‘remembers’ the overlay, until you clear it away.

I create all routes for a trip in a folder. What I often do is create a route called “overview” that has no actually route in it, but has all the other routes from the folder added in their own colour. It gives me the ability to get a Basecap-like overview of a tour whilst keeping the individual routes clean (the remembering of additional routes to show can be a blessing and a curse)
 
Thanks for the tips/guidance here.
Making my tour planning easier.
 
Here’s an example of one of my efforts from this evening:

It’s four separately coloured tracks (they could just as easily be separate routes) and one route in black, running from Calais. All done on an iPad.
 
I have a lot to learn about MRA.

There a lots of good videos and help pages.

Just type a question into Google. For example: MyRoute join routes together, spits out:

Just four words; you could probably just use three. By way of comparison only, your opening post had getting on for 50 words.
