The RouteYou royalty‑free route map is a specially optimized map of your route, designed for unlimited publication in both print (books, magazines, brochures) and online.
IMPORTANT
This product covers the map usage rights, but not the copyright of the route.
You may only use the royalty‑free map for routes you own or have created, or for which you hold the rights.
Therefore, the royalty‑free map option is only available for your own routes.
This option is only available through the website.
Available for free with a RouteYou Premium subscription.
- Go to a route you own or created.
- Click “Print” and choose a print type (e.g., Overview).
- Click “More options” and under “Usage,” select “Royalty‑free.”
- Depending on your account type, you'll either see the payment option or be able to download the map for free. You may also request an invoice.
IMPORTANT
Always check that “Royalty‑free use” is explicitly stated in the print options. This confirms that RouteYou has secured the rights for the background map.
For example: Belgian topographic maps do not mention this and therefore cannot be used for royalty‑free publication.
With the royalty‑free route map, you enjoy complete freedom:
Print: Produce unlimited prints for publications such as books, magazines, and brochures.
Sales: You may give away or sell the map without incurring extra fees (the price is fixed).
Online: Publish the map on your website or in newsletters with no limit on the number of views.
PUBLISHERS
You publish a magazine, newspaper, or book and want to include a RouteYou route with a map.
No copyright hassle: You're looking for an alternative because standard maps (like Google Maps) can't be used in print.
Unlimited with a fixed price: You may not know how many copies you'll distribute (100, 1,000, 10,000...). This product solves that: you pay a single fixed price and may use the map without restrictions.
EVENT ORGANIZERS
You organize an event (bike ride or hiking route) and want to include the route in a flyer or booklet (free or paid).
- Purchase the RouteYou royalty‑free map of your route(s) and include it in your publication.
The map combines cartographic aesthetics with all essential route information and is technically optimized for professional printing.
CONTENT FEATURES
- The full route is displayed.
- The map area is automatically optimized around your route.
- Important place names and street names are shown (not all, due to cartographic clarity).

TECHNICAL FEATURES
- Delivered as a standard PDF; also available as a PNG image.
- Also available as a poster print.
- Orientation can be freely selected.
STYLE
We offer various map styles.
