Yes, we regularly add new routes to the library and seek to continually improve the existing ones.
Can I download the maps for offline use?

What should I do if I find an error on a map?
Either fix them yourself, saving the route and noting your changes, or report any discrepancies to the Secretary, and we will address them promptly.
Do the routes include rest stops and amenities?
This depends on whtether the route editor included them, but yes, they can highlight points of interest like cafés, pubs, and summits along each route.
Can I add my own routes to the library?
Yes, and the club encourages members to do this. Just switch to the Club account and save your route. Add your own routes to the library but please follow these guideline for naming and sorting your routes to make it easier for everyone to find the route they want:
Route NAME: If the route goes to a specific cafe then the name of the cafe becomes the Name of the route. If the route doesn’t detour to a particular cafe then the Name could be ‘High Street’ or ‘Town Centre’ for example. To change the route name select ‘view’ and then click on the pencil icon next to the existing name.
TAGS should start with ‘Road’ or ‘Gravel’ and then optionally include any major features such as ‘Bridge lLoop’. Tags can be set/cleared by selecting one or more routes and using the ‘Set tags’ option at the bottom of the screen.
LOCATION is set to the name of the destination town/village. Although this duplicates the name of the Collection it is useful when viewing or sorting in the Route Library rather than a Collection. The location can be changed by selecting one or more routes and using the ‘Set city’ option at the bottom of the screen.
PRIVACY is set to Public for now, but we may make routes Members only at some point in the future. Select one or more routes then use the ‘Set privacy’ option at the bottom of the screen.
There is a COLLECTION for each destination we ride to, i.e towns and villages. Select one or more routes then use the ‘Add to collection’ option at the bottom of the screen.
