To easily find your desired route in the RouteYou app, you can use various selection criteria and filter options. Having selected an activity type and/or location, you can further refine your search with additional filter options such as length, score, characteristics and so on more. Below you will find a complete overview.
TIP
As soon as one or more filters are activated, a red dot appears in the "Explore" screen at the top right of the filter button, showing the number of active filters.
- Tap the "Select" button to the top left in order to select an activity type.
- You'll arrive at an overview of the most popular activities.
You can also display the complete list of activity types by tapping "See all activity types". - Make a choice
- Tap "Show xx routes"
- You'll now get to see some routes that match the activity type you have chosen.
Enter a location in the search field above. RouteYou tries to match your search term with the right location via a list of suggestions. If you select a specific location, then the map will zoom in on this location.
TIP
In order to zoom in to your position, you have to provide RouteYou with your location data. Read more about this here.
Extra filter options:
You can use the slider to filter out routes within a specific range of distances.
The distance filter always uses a minimum and maximum distance. You adjust these by respectively moving the dot in the front or the dot at the back to the desired distance.
FACT
Looking for a route with a distance longer than the maximum distance visible on the slider? Then slide the second dot all the way to the end.
Here you can specify a minimum score. So in the search results, you will only find routes with the specified score or higher.
FACT
A lower score does not necessarily mean the route is not good.
Read more about the route score and how it is determined here.
With “Characteristics” you can filter by specific route properties such as light traffic, (un)paved, child friendly and the like.
By default, we show the 6 most popular items linked to your chosen activity type.
You can use the “Show All” button to display the full list.
FACT
If you select multiple characteristics then the system will apply an 'and' logic. So the results will match all selected characteristics.
Here you can search for routes based on one or more keywords from the title or description. Type a keyword in the search bar and press enter.
Here you can choose to show in the search results only routes that you yourself have created.

You can delete or replace the selected author with another author at any time.
Groups are compilations of routes, attractions and/or users.

You can delete the selected group or replace it with another group at any time.
If you tap one of the search results, the route detail page for that route opens in the RouteYou app. Here you can consult the detailed route information or immediately start navigation.
The map also acts as a filter. That is, the search results show only routes that pass entirely or partially through your map view. If a particular route is not shown, zoom out enough or zoom in on that specific location.
