TIPS FOR SAVED ROUTES
Organise your routes into folders	You can have up to 8 personalised folders plus the Archived Routes folder. You may find it helpful to put routes into different folders based on where they starts from (e.g. home, work, races), how you use them (e.g. running, cycling) or perhaps how easy the routes are (e.g. easy, moderate, hard). Click Add Folder to create a new route folder. To move routes between folders, select the routes by ticking the relevant selection boxes and then click the "Move Selected" button at the bottom of the page.

Archive routes you no longer use	This will not delete the routes and will not affect your stats - it will simply put them on a different list so you can keep separate any routes you don't currently use. Routes can be moved back from the Archived Routes list at any time.

Delete Routes	To delete routes you no longer want, select the routes by ticking the relevant selection boxes and then click the "Delete Selected" button at the bottom of the page. We recommend that you don't delete routes that have Log Book entries so that the route information for these Log Book entries is retained. Instead, it is best to move these routes to your Archived Routes folder.

Sort your routes	You can click on the column headings to sort your routes in each folder. For example: to find your hilliest route click on Climb Rate to list the routes you run most often, click on Runs to search for a route by name, click on Route to list them alphabetically If some of the routes in your folder are shown on additional pages, select "ALL" from the number per page list at the bottom of the page before sorting to sort all routes in a folder.

Thumbnail Maps and Notes	To quickly distinguish between different routes, move you mouse over the Route Name to view any Notes you may have entered for the route and over this symbol to see a thumbnail map.

Personal Bests (PB's)	The Personal Best time shown for each route is the fastest time logged in your Log Book for any route with the same name. It will also be flagged up as a PB in your Log Book once you have run the same route more than once.

Get stats for routes you haven't mapped ('Unsaved Routes')	The Saved Routes page shows all the routes that you've mapped. If you want to see similar stats for routes that you've run and logged in your Log Book but haven't mapped, click on the name of the Route on your Log Book.

Compare your runs for a given route with a friend	If you have a friend who is a Good Run Guide Member and want to compare your times for a given route, copy the route to your friend's Saved Routes list and add them to your Training Friends list. You will then be able to use the comparison tools under the Training Friends section to see all the runs you've both logged for this route.

Add directions to a route if sharing it	If you want to share your route with someone else, help them to follow the route by adding directions. This is easy to do using the Route Measurer - simply click on the relevant points on the map and add some notes. Routes with directions added will have a "Directions Schedule" with ETA's at each point based on the distance and hill profile.

Viewing your Route in Google Earth	You need to have Google Earth software installed on your computer to view your route in Google Earth. If you don't have Google Earth on your computer you can download it for free from here: http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html You can use Google Earth to view a 3D Fly-Through of your route - to do this, select "Play for Fly-Through" under the Places panel once the route has loaded and then click the Play Tour button or press Ctrl-Alt-P. You can adjust the camera angle, height and speed of playback by select Tools, Options, Touring in Windows (Google Earth, Preferences on a Mac), and then adjusting the Driving Directions Tour Options. As the camera is looking from above, it can also be helpful to increase the Elevation Exaggeration under the 3D View tab. NOTE: If the Race doesn't load into Google Earth automatically you will need to save the downloaded file to your computer first and then open it from Google Earth.

Combining two routes into one	If you would like to join together two routes into one longer one you can do this by clicking the button labeled "Merge 2 Routes" at the top of the page. You can also use this facility to merge a circular route with itself, thereby creating a route that you run around twice.
