- Creating routes without nodes
Fietsknoop is a digital planner for planning routes along the official nodes. Without an account, or with a basic account, only this network can be used. Anyone with a Fietsknoop[+]Plus account can create their own routes, as gpx tracks.
Go to the website and log in to your account. Click on the blue button 'Activiteiten' (= Activities) and choose 'Fietsen' (= Cycling) or 'Wandelen' (= Walking).
On the map, click with the mouse on the spot where you want to start the route. Click anywhere else and Fietsknoop will create the shortest route between the two points using the existing paths. Drag a point if you want to change the route.
Save the route and use it as an 'Activity'. As the route does not run through the nodes, no voice support is possible.
This feature is still under development.
- Activity: hiking or biking
An imported gpx track is saved as an Activity for biking by default. This can be quickly changed to hiking if the gpx track is a hiking route.
App:
open the appropriate route in Activities and click on the notes icon.
Below the title is the option to indicate whether it is a bike route or a hiking route. Make a choice and click 'save'.
Website:
Open the appropriate route from the 'Activities' list. Click on 'gegevens wijzigen'(= change data). In the overlay screen, you can indicate whether it is a bike route or a walking route. Make a choice and click on 'opslaan' (= save).
- Grey hiking nodes
On the hiking map, you sometimes come across grey hiking nodes. For example, in Flanders, near Antwerp or north of Brussels. This is a virtual network. The network exists only on the map, there are no roadside signs. To distinguish it from the 'normal' nodes, these hiking nodes are not shown in brown but in grey.
You create your route in the normal way and save it as usual. Are you going to use the route? Open the route from your Routes list and click Start. With the help of voice support and by following the road on the map, you will enjoy the most beautiful walks.
With Fietsknoop[+]Plus, you can also add your own Plus nodes to the hiking nodes.
