Follow an account

Want to stay in the loop about new routes and activities from your favorite RouteYou profiles? Just follow their account — that way, you won’t miss a thing. You don’t need a paid account, but you do need to sign up

  This is only possiblevia the website.

FYI
Every now and then, we’ll send you suggestions for accounts you might like to follow.

Why follow an account?

Do you often end up on the same account when searching for routes?
Got friends, family, or colleagues who use RouteYou too?
Are you part of a club or organization?

   Then it’s a great idea to follow their account on RouteYou. That way, you’ll always be up to date with what they’re doing.

You’ll get a notification when they:

  • plan a new route

  • like a route

  • add an event

  • join an event
  • share their location

   Depending on your communication preferences, you’ll get updates via notifications and/or email.

How do you follow (or unfollow) an account?
  1. Go to the profile page of the account you want to follow.

       TIP: You can get to a profile page by clicking the author’s name on a route detail page, POI page, event page, or news post.

  2. Click the 'Follow' button follow_btn_inactive.png under the profile info. 
      The button will switch to follow_btn_active.png and the text will change to 'Following'.

   Want to unfollow? Just click the button again to stop following.

   Got a new follower? We’ll let you know — maybe you’ll want to follow them back.
