Yes, that's right Garry. We'll have a look to see if we can change this.

Hi!
I see 2 different problems here
Default map for the user creating maps and default map for a specific route
The second ( used to be present in the links, then for some reason it was removed from the interfaces, but it works. For example
https://www.plotaroute.com/route/877001?units=km&maptype=paths
you specify to open with topo type

You're welcome to modify the link with a "maptype" extension when sharing a route if you like (as per Mikhail's post below), but this is currently an unofficial feature, so we can't guarantee it will always work. These are the maptype values that currently work, so for example add "&mapype=terrain" to the link:
- Street Map - map
- Terrain Map - terrain
- Satellite Map - sat
- Hybrid Map - hybrid
- Trails Map - paths
- World Topo Map - wtopo
- Transport Map - transport
- Cycle Map - cycle
We're planning on reviewing the route sharing features to provide more control over how a shared route map initially loads - at present you can only choose the units but we want to add more options like map type, animation speed, line colour and map features like distance markers, direction arrows, etc. However, we're in the process of migrating to a new mapping platform for one of our map providers at present, so we need to wait until this is complete before doing this.

Looks like a few of the maptype options work. It sure would be nice if sat or hybrid was available for my shared maps. I know I can "print" with the sattelite view included so that's a fallback option. Thanks for considering it.
