    I tend to put a waypoint just before and just after a junction.
    This is a great thread,I've been using My route app for a while and I'm learning some good stuff.

    i notice they give a discount for a club membership no idea how much though ,I've got a months free trial of the gold membership but i don't really know what all the benefits are, as i didn't use it much with the free basic membership (i might find out once the free gold membership runs out!)..it would be great if we got members of the forum from all parts of the uk to join and be able to share favourite routes

    I guess I must be in a minority, I'm quite happy using Basecamp :confused:

    I think one of the main things is you can find petrol stations,hotels,cafe's and other points of interest.I'm sure there are others but I tend to use these. I pay £29 per year or it might be £25

    I pretty much do the same but I also have this extremely good skill at getting myself lost.
    The sat nav has saved me many a time :D

    No problem, if you want to copy any of the routes from anyone just click on groups, triumph forum, members, then click on any member then click on routes and their saved routes will come up.. pick one to look at then if you want to copy it click on "use route" simple as that :)

    i put up a route around Mull, anytime I've been i only ever go up to Tobermory and back down to Craignure for the ferry, just had a look at the road all the way round, it's single track but it looks in great condition and the scenery looks great, i imagine there will be next to no traffic on it :) I'm going to give it a go next spring on my cruiser as it wouldn't be any fun on the speed triple

    Dougie,I've re done our Picos ride.
    Spain 2 is our ride into Potes
    Picos loop is our ride round.
    Spain 3 is our route out,it's good until it meets the A-67 but it's motorway after that.
    If we go back we'll explore more to the West.

    i can see everyone's routes :) ! IMHO it's probably better using the group page just for meet up rides and leave our own routes on our own page, that way if a members from a certain area and your'e going to be their with your bike you can check his/hers routes out :cool:
