The Routeplanner of RouteYou ... what's so special?
The suggested route depends on your selected activity...
The RoutePlanner allows you to plan a route depending on your activity (modi) such as hiking, cycling, motorcycling, ... As a cyclist, you get a different solution vs. a motorcyclist, ...
The suggested route depends on your selected flavour (shortest/fastest/nicest)
Most routeplanner show you the shortest and the fastest route. We provide you also the nicest (depending on your selected activity). Read here about what we mean with the "nicest route". And how we do this using the RouteYou Network.
The suggested route depends on your selected road/path condition (unpaved/paved)
Some cyclist prefer to stay on paved roads and paths (e.g. race cyclists). Other like to be more adventurous and don't mind an unpaved roads. But maybe only in summer. And others prefer the unpaved roads all the time (MTBers).
Selecting typical network such as the Bike Node Network...
The RoutePlanner also allows you to plan via specific reference networks such as the Bike Node Network in the Netherlands and Belgium. Read more about it here.
But it looks like you are using Google Maps
We show the route on top of GoogleMaps but the "intelligent routing" has been tuned and developed by RouteYou, using the RouteYou Netwerk.

These POIs are created by you, other prosumers on RouteYou or professional parties providing their POIs via the RouteYou system. Read more bout it here POI-PUSH

What's a Thematic Planner
RouteYou makes routeplanners for recreational purposes such as cycling, hiking, tourism, city vistis,..). A Thematic Planner is a routeplanner for a specific purpose in one of these domains or a combination of it.
It's a combination of

- A specific network (e.g. a specific cycling network: check out this example)
- A specific maplayer (e.g. a topographic map: check out this example)
- A specific set of routing options (e.g. nicest paths, shortest, safest, ...)
