    If you want to show a route from myrouteapp on here.
    1, open the route in myroute app
    2, click on share at top right of map
    3, second from the bottom of that window is an option marked link, click on that
    4,it opens up a window with url, click OK
    5, go to post in Triumph forum you want to insert it in
    6, highlight the word you want to link the URL to
    7,go up to the linked chain emblem above text box
    8, L click on that R click in the text box that opens up and hit paste L click on insert and its done
    Look here for result.
    It would be intersesting to see what happens if someone who isnt signed up to myroute app clicks on it

    Anyone??

    i was looking for this thread yesterday!! i put this in another thread but it might be better in here!
    i think this will only apply if you are a paid up member..you can now make up routes on the myroute-app with either Google maps,Tom Tom gold and they have now added Here/Garmin gold:),
    All my previous routes were done using the Google maps but i decided to convert a route from google maps to Here/Garmin gold, but a word of warning if you do this you have to check all your way points as some of them might not be exactly where you placed them and could result in problems,this only happens if you are converting from google to Garmin maps or vice versa.
    Although recently i havn't had any problems using Google maps i now use the Garmin maps for creating routes as i'm guesing my sat nav will be more compatable with it:)

    What TOmTom you using? The only way I have transfered a route with waypoints is to use the usb connector from my pc to my rider 410 then use the downloader and copy over the route as an ITN file not GPX. As been said before though, make sure your waypoints are where they should be and not on the other side of the dual carriageway

    I've been using Google maps as well,might try Garmin for a few though.
    I did notice the phone app has been updated,seem to be able to do more now.
    I think Gold is worth the extra,makes it easier to find the cafe's

    i would probably go with the first route you will have about 40 miles or so of motorway,but if you go via Edinburgh you will have about double before you get on decent roads,i'll have a look and see if i can come up with some alternatives for you

    made one up for you ,it's avoiding the motorways going via the campsie Fells it's about the same distance as yours, you will find it my routes..might take 30 minutes longer but worth it

    Looked at it dougie, cheers !
    I will store that and make it a weather dependant, mind you an extra half hour of getting wet on a 5 hr trip ain't gonna make no difference!!

    @crispey - Of the three routes from Lochgilphead to Bellingham - I would go Dougie's route. Avoid M8 as much as possible, its shit, and they drive like loonies, especially on a friday. Bit of a drag thru the central belt, airdrie and that are crap, but better than the motorway and you get more fun miles thru the campsie's that way. Unless it's pissing down, go short !!!

    Put a SW route up for you, no motorway, bit of dual carriageway around Ayr, but would take a bit longer, belter of a full day if you fancied it. Lochgilphead around to the ferry at dunoon is a belter. Ferry is about £7 for bike and rider. Great wee sailing over the clyde.

    How often is the ferry? Do you have to book it?

    Nope, runs constantly, usually run 3 boats all day on a Friday, every 20 minutes or so. Just roll to the front of the queue on the bike, dead easy. Pay on the boat, fella comes round like an old fashioned bus conductor.

    Yep went touring in Scotland a while back, stayed in Dunoon and used the Dunoon ferry, great way to get to Argyllshire where you have access to some great roads.
