Download Routes for GPS

Except for the ACT routes (Adventure Country Tracks), all my routes are created by myself in MyRoute-App (MRA) whereby inspired by several other routes and sites. In MRA you can verify your route against all major map sources and you can download the routes in any format, suitable for your GPS.

The ACT routes are not included in the download!
They are owned and maintained by ACT and change frequently. Please support them by becoming a member.
(included however are some small additional TET loops).

See below for more information about the routes.

Information about the routes

  • The routes provided (and Google Maps) differ slightly from the ones in the video. Some roads were closed (especially in France) due to road maintenance.
  • All main routes also have POI's included (gas, lunch, etc)
  • Most main routes have some parts that can be skipped to shorten the ride.
  • For most days, there are optional or additional routes available.
  • Naming convention of the route files:
