While saving a route, the RouteYou StarTracker automatically analyzes various characteristics of that route. The result of that analysis is written as a reaction to the route and includes a lot of practical information such as the paving percentage, estimated traffic and noise levels, landscape characteristics and more. 

Until recently, StarTracker info was only available for routes planned within Europe. If you plan a route outside Europe, you will now receive input regarding the percentage of pavement and the dominant direction of your route, in other words a concise version of the StarTracker.
 


TIP
If you have an existing route without this information, you can solve it in "1 2 3":

1. Open your route via the Edit button in the route planner
2. Reroute the route
3. Save the route

  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 .

  3. The new route finder: What you absolutely need to know

    28 January 2025, 16:00

    The new route finder introduces some key improvements that will significantly enhance your experience. Here are the three biggest changes you need to know about:

    1/ Retention of search results

    Your search results now stay even if you move the map or zoom in and out. This means you don't have to search again every time you adjust the map. Only when you click the 'Search in this area' button will a new set of search results be generated.

    2/ Interactive route info cards

    When you hover over a route info card in the list or click a route icon on the map, the map automatically zooms to that route. The route is highlighted, and a route info card appears on the map. This makes it easier to view and select specific routes.

    3/ Visualization of the best matches

    The top five matches with your filter and sort options are now visualized on the map with a colored route line. This helps you quickly identify and compare the most relevant routes.

    With these improvements, finding routes becomes more efficient and user-friendly. Try the new route finder today and see how these changes can improve your route planning!
