Anyone can plan and save a route on RouteYou.
If you do so without registering or logging in, that route will end up in a collection of public routes. If you want to find your route quickly, we advise you to at least register or log in so we can link the route to your account.
You can then quickly find the route via the 'My routes' section.
If you have a RouteYou Plus or higher, you have access to additional functionality such as the ability to
- modify the route afterwards
Discover how you can modify a route - immediately add the visibility setting 'private' during the saving process
