Why linking your routes and POIs with characteristics and themes
You can link your routes and/or POIs to specific charactersitics (e.g. child friendly) and themes (e.g. architecture).
The advantages to do this are the following:
If people use the advanced search and indicate a specific theme or characteristic, they will get to see you route or POI too. And it is easy for yourself to find back specific routes or POIs.
The theme & characterstics overview pages will also show your route and POI if they are linked to the topic (have a look at this example)
The POI-Push allows you to add POIs of a specific theme or characteristic
You can make pages on your own website showing your routes and/or POIs of a specific theme or characteristic
