Whats it all about.
MyRoutes enables you to plot a route on top of an Ordanace Survey map and share that route map with others. Click here for an example.

Creating and Saving your route map.

Open the 'Draw' menu and click on 'start' then use the mouse to click your route onto the map.
During this stage if you need to pan the map from side to side use the 'Arrow' keys, if you need to zoom in or out use the '+' or '-' keys'
When you have finnished your route map, go back to the 'Draw' menu, click on 'End' then 'Save'
After clicking on 'Save' a new window opens, here you are prompted to add a name for your route and provide a desription, the description is only for your benifit should you need to find your route in the future, no one else will ever see your description. Then click on 'Save' The page will now refresh and you will be given a url (web address) that points to the map you have just created, example below.

Find previously saved routes.
Click on 'MyRoutes' and a list is produced of all your previously saved routes

Making a mistake when plottong your route.
Unfortunately at the moment you can not delete your last clicked position, so you need to go to 'Reset' and start again. I am working on this but can't quite get my head round the problem yet.

Need to edit the route I have made.
At the moment this is not possable, just make another.

How many routes can I make?
As many as you like.

How long can a route be?
Very very long, I think 28033 points but guess other problems with arise before you get to this stage.

Why do I need to register and log in?
Nothing sinister here, just need to create a folder to keep your route in
