Result

If you have clicked on generate, you will see a loading screen. Here you can already give a name to this roundtour.


  1. Options: Here you can see the roundtour options that were found with your settings. There can be a maximum of 3;
  2. Start over: Click here to go back to the beginning and adjust settings;
  3. Use this roundtour: Satisfied with the result, click here to open the roundtour in the Routeplanner.



ATTENTION! The different options generally also give a different curvature. The first option is considered by our program to be the most fun option and therefore usually the most curvy. If there is a second or third option, these contain a different curvature factor.

However, whether a tour is fun or not is a subjective choice, so for this reason the choice of these options is entirely up to the user.



Save roundtour

The roundtour has now been added to your personal list as a route-track. If you want to make an adjustment to this roundtour, click on + edit route-track (top right of the map).




You will now see a pop-up where you can change the name of the roundtour. By editing the roundtour, you turn it into a route and waypoints are added. Check the placed waypoints to avoid unpleasant surprises.
