  Thanks, I'll go to plan B.

  Sorry Michael, we don't have an option for that.

  Is there a way to import a symbol of my own to use on a route?  Maybe a star or diamond?

  Thanks to both of you Mark and Plotaroute admin. That's exactly what I was looking for

  Looking at the OSM editor, the symbols are are follows:

  • 42.735138,-0.139652 is a Spring
    
    
  • 42.526679,3.078444 is a Transit Shelter

  Thanks for find the symbols link Mark - that looks useful: OSM Symbols

  I found this, which has a few good links ... https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/69469/where-can-i-find-a-table-of-map-symbols-and-their-meanings
  
  Like this https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SymbolsTab
  
  This is one of the blue dots that might be a water source 42.735138,-0.139652
  
  
  
  Spring
  
  This si one of the "Houses with "S" over it". Although this one is next to a railway, they also occur in the middle of nowhere, sometimes it is possible to find some sort of structure, sometimes they might be bus stops or also nothing. 42.526679,3.078444

  

  Shelter (e.g. weather shelter)

  That's all the information we have about map keys. We may be able to find out more from looking at the OpenStreetMap map editor. If you can let us know the map coordinates of the symbols we can investigate further. You can get the map coordinates by right-clicking on the route planner map.

  Ok, I got the message with the "keys for maps". But these aren't what I was looking for. For instance there are blue dots that I have taken for a water source, a small hut with "S" above which might be shelter (someone else asked about this); watchtowers, I am assuming are something to do with a land border. I am sure there are others, I just can`t think of them right now....
