  1. RouteYou Plus now offers even more advantages!

    25 May 2025, 10:00

    RouteYou is growing bigger by the day thanks to loyal RouteYou users.
    We are incredibly grateful for your support. ❤️🙏
     


    🔔 We have important news for you today. 🔔

    We will soon be changing the features in the free version of RouteYou.
    It will now only be possible to use a route for navigation, print or download the GPX with a Plus subscription. 

    ➡️ There will be no significant changes for Plus users. Plus users can still access all the familiar features — and will get even better value for their money. In other words, RouteYou Plus now offers even more benefits. 

    ➡️ Free users can still search and view all routes free of charge. Using routes for navigation, printing or downloading the GPX will now only be possible for routes offered by professional accounts or routes shared by Plus users throughPower Share.
     

    Why the change?

    Since we started in 2006, we have been trying to keep RouteYou partly free through revenue from ads. But, since 2021, that revenue has become half of what it was, while user numbers have grown tenfold. On top of that, stricter privacy regulations make it increasingly difficult to show ads while guaranteeing your privacy.

    ⚖️ To continue to offer the best of RouteYou in the future, we need to strike a healthy balance between the costs of free usage and revenue from ads.

    💡 It's like using a library: you can search and browse through everything, but you need to be a member to borrow books. RouteYou Plus is that membership.


    So, make the switch, lend us a helping hand by becoming a Plus subscriber and enjoy all the advantages .

  8. Your personal heatmap on RouteYou

    15 May 2025, 12:00

    The general RouteYou heatmaps give you a quick insight into the most popular segments of the route network. The more 'heat' you see, the more routes pass through that specific segment. This is a handy tool for identifying frequently used paths or for exploring new ones.

    The underlying idea of the personal heatmaps is the same, only they are exclusive to each user. Your personal heatmap only depicts your own activity and is not accessible to others on the platform. By default, you get a view of all your routes, but in the route planner you can also filter your personal heatmap by route type.

    You must have a RouteYou Plus account to access your personal heatmaps.

    With the accurate Turn-by-Turn navigation feature, you don't even need a map anymore. Short simple visual messages always let you know when a new instruction is coming and exactly what it means. You get short instructions, even on the lock screen of your smartphone, as long as you keep navigation active in the background. Combine these Turn-by-Turn messages with any of the available map backgrounds and navigate any type of route with ease.

  16. Tæru: Unique Belgian sports accommodation at a height

    5 May 2025, 22:00

    Do you know Tæru yet? Tæru is a place where enjoyment and endurance merge. It’s a unique setting, tailored to your needs as an athlete. Retreat to the stunning Belgian Ardennes to work out and push your limits, but also to relax and recover, and appreciate the good things in life …

     

    Tæru is Japanese for “to bear, to endure”, “to withstand, to resist, to stand” and “to have the ability, to be worthy”.

     

    Initiator Dirk Baelus, former Belgian triathlon champion and founder of the Innerme Triathlon Team, had been organizing training trips in the Ardennes and Spain for many years. These outings were always wonderful experiences, unfortunately the accommodations always left something to be desired. Knowing what sports groups need, Dirk saw what was missing and started looking for a suitable location to start his own project. And he managed to realize that dream at the former 'Ferme De Blier' in Luxembourg's Erezée. The old farm, located between Durbuy and La Roche-en-Ardenne, was converted with ecological materials into the first Belgian group accommodation at a height.

    The accommodation can be rented in whole or in part and is the ideal destination for sports teams such as cycling, triathlon, mountain bike, trail running and running teams.
