  Thanks for testing this Richard!

  Keeping routes updated is indeed very important. =)

  For completeness, I did wonder if already synced routes (i.e. exisiting in Plotaroute and Visorando) were resynced when edited in Plotaroute. The answer is, thankfully, yes they are!

  So, if a route exisits in Plotaroute and Visorando and changes are made to it from within Plotaroute, once the 'Link to Visorando' button is pressed, said changes are transferred to Visornado. Fantastic!

  Hi Richard!

  From my understanding, you are correct: routes do not sync automatically.
  The sync process gets launched every time you click on "Link to Visorando".
  The first time it creates the link and the next times it simply synchronises the routes to Visorando.

  I have just tested this, and when the Visorando page opened, the test route I created on Plotaroute did not appear.
  Refreshing the page made the route appear at the top of my "All my walks" page. Like you said in your second post, logging out isn't required.
  Depending on how many routes need to be synchronised and how big they are, I guess this might take a few moments or several refresh actions.
  Also, deleting routes from Plotaroute does not appear to delete them from Visorando if they were synced previously and may require deleting them on Visorando as well.

  Routes created on Visorando are not synced with Plotaroute. The link only works one way.
  Accessing a Visorando route on Plotaroute would need a download/upload on your part.

  The link between the Premium account on Plotaroute and the one on Visorando is also one way.
  Therefore, if you use Plotaroute and Visorando, please make sure to renew your Plotaroute subscription and the Premium access to Visorando will simply be extended as well.

  All the best,
  Julien

  Further to my post below, I should clarify (as I can't edit it) that when I talk about my Visornado account - I'm referring to accessing it via a web browser rather than via the app. 

  Also, I'm wondering if logging out is actually necessary for new routes to show up.  It seems there is a small time lag so maybe I just need to be patient and let everything sync :)

  Hi Julien, 

  How does syncing work once my Plotaroute and Visorando accounts have been linked?

  I tend to create all my routes in Plotaroute. From what I can gather, these routes don't automatically appear in my Visorando account. However, if I press the "Link to Visorando" button within Plotaroute, it takes me to the Visorando account. I still can't see any new routes I have created however if I log out of Visorando and log back in, any new routes created in Plotaroute now appear in Visorando. Is that correct and how it is supposed to work?

  Do routes created in Visorando sync to plotaroute?  

  If you could explain how syncing between these two accounts works, that'd be much appreciated so that I know how to best manage my walk data.

  Also, my linked plotaroute / Visorando premium membership is due to expire in a few days time. Do I renew it from within plotaroute or visornado - or does it matter? 

  Thanks

  Hi Pierre,

  Thanks for the interesting feedback!
  I'll make sure to pass it on to the team.

  Now, regarding managing routes on Visorando, we are aware that it's not optimal right now and the whole file system will be worked on to make it more intuitive.
  
  If you want to delete several routes at once, you can do so by following this process:

  Log in to your Visorando account
  Go to "My Account" in the top right corner
  Select "My Walks"
  Now by default, you're on the "All my walks folder", where you can only delete routes one by one.
  In the left column, select "Walks I created"
  You can now select all the routes you wish to delete and do a bulk deletion.

  I hope this helps.

  All the best,
  Julien

  Hello,

  Some people here complain that they do not see all their routes in Visorando. I have the opposite request: I would like to copy only a few routes to Visorando. Ideally, a 'star" like what exists to sync routes to Garmin device would be ideal.

  Why this : in visorando, when you have many routes, browsing through routes is slow and difficult, and also there is no way to delete many routes at a time. I end up with 100 routes or more in Visorando that I do not need. I tried to delete them. I took me a whole lot of time... and it seems the routes are now coming back when it syncs...

  Also, I mostly plot routes for biking. Visorando has trouble to open 100km+ routes, which is a typical length for me in PlotaRoute : it takes forever on my phone, even if I reduce the number of points to 2000 or so (going to less point lacks accuracy for 100km). So I do not use visorando for bike routes. I use it only for hiking : in this case Visorando is great, in particular in France as it uses 'IGN' maps which every French hiker uses all the time. So I do not need all these bike routes I have in Plot a Route in Visorando.

  @helene plotatoute - no, none of my routes have more than a few hundred points. But I see in a further post that relinking from plotaroute resyncs the routes. I can confirm that all my plotaroute routes have been transferred.
