Hi
I'm using plotaroute to plan a Sportive event with 3 cycle distances and find the Route Collections feature particularly useful for displaying all routes very clearly on a single map. The only issue I have is with labels & symbols for common locations such as feed stations which I would like to appear on each individual map and the combined 'Route Collection' map. Adding them to individual maps results in duplicate text boxes being displayed at a slight offset from each other on the Route Collection map.
It would be great to be able to somehow add / edit labels & symbols at the Route Collection level or perhaps there's a neat workaround that I'm not aware of.
Many thanks for your efforts. It's a brilliant product. -

Thanks for the nice feedback Chris. I can see the problem you have. Unfortunately there isn't an easy solution, as our system is designed around labels and symbols being atatched to individual routes in the route planner. One option you could consider though would be to create a separate route for the labels and symbols that your routes have in common (it only needs to have 2 points) and then add this to the route collection. The downside is that these labels won't be there when you look at each route individually and the route with the map labels/symbols would have a start and finish icon, which might be confusing.

Thank you for the prompt response.
The best workaround I've found is to only include the labels/symbols on one of the three routes in the collection and then maintain duplicate copies of the other two. This is a bit messy but I remain hopeful that a neater solution may be implemented in the future.
