This new thread has been cut from a parallel thread in the Travel section.

It shows how MyRoute’s ‘Share and embed’ function works well for sharing routes.

Can you host to routes on the Cloud and spare the link here, as I am sure they would be helpful to others.

I can.....let's try this using the MRA 'Share" and "Embed" functions....

That seems to work for me. Let me know if it works for others please? It might give you access to all the routes I have archived on MRA, but if so, knock yourselves out...
 
Black Forest Route Suggestions?

Bingo! That, as a MyRouteApp user, works for me.

I had never seen it done before or even tried it myself. It really is very good.

At first I thought they were just screen shots. But, out of curiosity, I tapped on one and it opened up in all its glory in my MRA on my iPad. Here’s Day One, fully displayed:

Excellent. Thank you. The more I see of MRA, the more I like it.

It would be good to know if the ‘Tap to display’ method works for non-MRA app users, too.

Yes. I'm using Chrome on a Win 10 laptop. The Tap to Display works like any URL and takes me to the MRA website in another Chrome Tab. I can see the route outline but if I want to see the detail I have to log in. People can, like me, create an account for free which will allow them to see routes created by others and download them as GPX or other file types. I saved Route 7 to my desktop as a GPX route and it opened in Basecamp so I am assuming I could export it to my Zumo 390.
 
Excellent news, thank you Wessie.

Providing bods are happy to subscribe to the free version of MyRoute, without fearing that they are being ripped-off or needing another layer of tinfoil for their hat, it should be a really good way to share routes on the forum.

It will transfer via BaseCamp into your Zumo 390.

XT users will be able to transfer it directly via the Garmin Drive app.

As with any shared route, always check it all before you leave home.
 
How to embed entire folders of routes:

1. Make sure ALL the individual routes in the folder are public

2. For each route in the folder, make sure you click on this box, so that it shows a yellow tick

3. Click on embed

4. You should see something like this

5. The individual routes should then display

Sample. Tap on the shields or on the ‘2’ to display the individual routes.
