  Further to my post below, I should clarify (as I can't edit it) that when I talk about my Visornado account - I'm referring to accessing it via a web browser rather than via the app. 

  Also, I'm wondering if logging out is actually necessary for new routes to show up.  It seems there is a small time lag so maybe I just need to be patient and let everything sync :)

  Hi Julien, 

  How does syncing work once my Plotaroute and Visorando accounts have been linked?

  I tend to create all my routes in Plotaroute. From what I can gather, these routes don't automatically appear in my Visorando account. However, if I press the "Link to Visorando" button within Plotaroute, it takes me to the Visorando account. I still can't see any new routes I have created however if I log out of Visorando and log back in, any new routes created in Plotaroute now appear in Visorando. Is that correct and how it is supposed to work?

  Do routes created in Visorando sync to plotaroute?  

  If you could explain how syncing between these two accounts works, that'd be much appreciated so that I know how to best manage my walk data.

  Also, my linked plotaroute / Visorando premium membership is due to expire in a few days time. Do I renew it from within plotaroute or visornado - or does it matter? 

  Thanks

  Hi Pierre,

  Thanks for the interesting feedback!
  I'll make sure to pass it on to the team.

  Now, regarding managing routes on Visorando, we are aware that it's not optimal right now and the whole file system will be worked on to make it more intuitive.
  
  If you want to delete several routes at once, you can do so by following this process:

  Log in to your Visorando account
  Go to "My Account" in the top right corner
  Select "My Walks"
  Now by default, you're on the "All my walks folder", where you can only delete routes one by one.
  In the left column, select "Walks I created"
  You can now select all the routes you wish to delete and do a bulk deletion.

  I hope this helps.

  All the best,
  Julien

  Hello,

  Some people here complain that they do not see all their routes in Visorando. I have the opposite request: I would like to copy only a few routes to Visorando. Ideally, a 'star" like what exists to sync routes to Garmin device would be ideal.

  Why this : in visorando, when you have many routes, browsing through routes is slow and difficult, and also there is no way to delete many routes at a time. I end up with 100 routes or more in Visorando that I do not need. I tried to delete them. I took me a whole lot of time... and it seems the routes are now coming back when it syncs...

  Also, I mostly plot routes for biking. Visorando has trouble to open 100km+ routes, which is a typical length for me in PlotaRoute : it takes forever on my phone, even if I reduce the number of points to 2000 or so (going to less point lacks accuracy for 100km). So I do not use visorando for bike routes. I use it only for hiking : in this case Visorando is great, in particular in France as it uses 'IGN' maps which every French hiker uses all the time. So I do not need all these bike routes I have in Plot a Route in Visorando.

  @helene plotatoute - no, none of my routes have more than a few hundred points. But I see in a further post that relinking from plotaroute resyncs the routes. I can confirm that all my plotaroute routes have been transferred.

  @Richard Orbey - The reverse is not true => Visorando tracks are not synchronized in Plotaroute.

  Hi, thanks for the reply. Can you explain how the sync works? For the time being, I'm still using Plotaroute to create / edit routes. 

  If I create a new route in plotaroue it doesn't appear on the Visorando website. Within plotaroute, if I choose the 'Follow with Visorando' action against the route, it then appears in Visorando Web.

  Question, I assume that every time I create a new route in plotaroute, I must use the 'Follow with Visorando' action for it to appear in Visorando Web?

  If I then make changes to the route in plotaroute (i.e. change title name), I notice these changes are not automatically synced to Visorando Web. If I choose the 'Follow with Visorando' action against the edited route, the changes appear in Visorando Web.  

  Question, I assume that every time I make changes to a route that is already synced to Visorando, I must use the 'Follow with Visorando' action for the changes to appear in Visorando Web?

  One potential issue I can see is if I make changes to plotaroute routes and forget to use the 'Follow with Visorando' action, my routes could easily get out oif sync with Visorando Web and it may be difficult to figure out which routes are in sync and which aren't. 

  Question: Is there a way to re-sync ALL my plotaroute routes, so any differences are transferred to Visorando Web?

  As an aisde, if I hover my mouse over the "Link to Visorando" button (at the top of the plotaroute web page), it states "Linking your Plotaroute account to Visorando allows you to send your routes to Visorando (website and mobile application) in just one click, so you can follow them during your outdoor activities. These routes are then automatically synchronised from Plotaroute to Visorando."

  Question: Based on my observations above, is the highlighted statement true?

  Hopefully my comments don't come across as negative or pedantic. I'm just trying to clarify these points so that it will hopefully prove useful for others (and myself!)

  Thanks

  @Helene Plotaroute

  Thank you for your reply. As I have started a seperate thread for this issue in the 'Bugs and Problems' forum, I will provide answer there.

  Hi,

  @Richard Orbey : I answered you in another post => could you precise if the toutes concerned have more than 10000 points? Did you check in the folders (Hikes to sort, Favourites)? Could you precise which tracks are not synchroniezd? 
  The reverse is not true => Visorando tracks are not synchronized in Plotaroute.

  @ Jim O''''Dwyer  : same questions as above.

  @Jim O''''Dwyer & Adam Rykala : you can use the route planner, we did not plan to change functionalities. 

  Kind regards

  Like Hugh, I find the waypoint stuff pretty important, and a primary reason I use PAR.

  In Visorando you don't seem to be able to add waypoint information in any way.  I use the labelling function in Plotaroute to do this and from that I can create a useable route card.  Hoping that this functionality won't be lost becuase I don't think I'll be renewing if it is.
