RouteYou

RouteYou is a Belgian route planning and navigation platform operated by RouteYou BV in Ghent. Founded in 2005, it began with digital route products and has grown into a service for travellers, clubs and tourism organizations. The platform brings route search, planning, navigation and publishing together on the web and in mobile tools.

Routes for many activities

RouteYou focuses on recreational travel. Its catalog includes cycling, mountain biking, walking, hiking, motorbike and horse riding routes, along with routes for other outdoor activities. The company reports millions of routes, organized by location, activity and subject. Route descriptions can include places of interest such as nature, architecture and heritage sites.

Plan and navigate

Users can create a route between chosen places, adjust its course and select an activity profile. RouteYou says its routing engine can prioritize scenic paths rather than only the shortest or fastest option. Routes can be followed through a smartphone, transferred to GPS devices or printed as maps.

Save and share trips

Members can store routes, add information, publish them for others and share links. Clubs and event organizers can prepare itineraries for participants. Tourism groups can manage route collections and present local destinations through pages and map tools.

Tools for organizations

RouteYou also supplies route data, maps and web integrations for hotels, tourism offices and other partners. Many basic platform features are available to individual users, while organizations can use additional products for publishing and managing routes.
