Forum International Trip

Yes mate - mine appears to be loaded as separate routes but I will see if I can change that in the my-route app.

 

Let me know how you get on. I wasn't able to join them up in basecamp. I did manage to identify and rename them in the right order on my zumo. They are usable in this format.

If Daniel plans the routes with minimum waypoints in googlemaps, this would certainly help.

OK! I do my best; but in order to ‚force‘ the satnav onto certain picturesque roads, sometimes more waypoints are required...

 

Please bear with me...

Here are 2 routes as a test. Both from Cherbourg to Bad Bertrich. Both have only TWO waypoints, but Google allows you to 'pull' the route to your liking. So would you please tell me: If you import into basecamp, do both routes have only two waypoints and do they differ in routing (one should be south of Paris).
IF this works out, I can plan with a minimum of waypoints!

Thanks!

Ok I will try this evening....

Ok I have successfully imported both of the routes to basecamp and then transferred them to my zumo. They have both loaded as single routes and look good when I preview them.

Although I have not tested it, I reakon that the GPX files extracted from googlemaps via the sofware Steve L identified will also load into myrouteapp as well. I will give it a try.

Anyway over to you Daniel......

Tested myrouteapp and the routes load here as well.....

So here are 2 more tour suggestions:

Tour no.2: Start at the Hotel, then Cochem Castle and destination Geierlay Bridge visitor centre (from here it is about 10 min. walk to the bridge).

Tour no.3: From the visitor center down into the Mosel valley and along the river back to the hotel (here we can decide, if we want to venture further southwest to Bernkastel Kues etc.)

The tours are planned with a minimum of waypoints; but I have to 'force' the device sometimes, NOT to take shortcuts away from the river and across the hills...

I hope, I soon get the chance to try them out and check on parking, resting and fuelling stops.

And of course, coming closer to the trip, I will post a summary of the tours and the bucket-list again to declutter this thread and to make it easier to find the pertinent info

 

Thanks Daniel - Bernkastel- Keus is one of my favourite places on the Mosel.

 

Yeah, you wouldn't want to "barge in"!

 

Born to be wild, brilliant track...

The book by Hermann Hesse that the group ‚Steppenwolf‘ is named after is also worth reading

 

Intersting, might have a look at that; thanks...

My favourite is the Glass Bead Game (Das Glasperlenspiel).
Great author!
He also wrote quite a few books about coming of age and reading them, I never really grasped what it all was about Salinger.

 

Would that include Joseph Conrad? Pretty dark stuff as well..

 

Not looked at any routes at all Andy.

It’s been a few years since I’ve ridden abroad so a bit rusty riding on the right, I think it’s the right
