The group of the month is created by Touren-Kuh:

It is the first large group created by the German part of the RouteYou community. Although quite some Germans are visiting the website and share their route trips.

Pytheas's Choice

Globespot of the month

Set-up

Every month, we ask somebody to be a modern Pytheas and tell us something about the most amazing place they have ever experienced, and explain why this is!

A troglodyte dwelling in Matmata, Tunesia

The globespot of this month is located in the desert of Tunisia: Matmata.

If you want to know the link between Star Wars and troglodyte dwellings in Tunesia, you better read the Pytheas story of Anissa Douchiche.

Are you our next Pytheas of the Month? Tell us about the most amazing globe-spot you have ever experienced! Or alternatively, ask a friend who you think has a favourite globe-spot and would like to share it with the RouteYou community.

Every month, we nominate a more technical item here which is linked to RouteYou activities, directly or indirectly. We have named this item in honor of Alan Turing.

Website of the month

The website of this month is CityShow NYC. They provide GPS-Enabled Tours. Great if you want to explore New York City!

EasyGPS

A lot of the RouteYou users ask for more advanced tools to edit and change tracks, to transfer them to waypoints, to upload them to their GPS...

EasyGPS is such a software which might help you out. The software allows you to edit and download tracks for your Garmin, Magellan, Lowrance or Eagel GPS. And the base version is free to download...
