Follow your Plotaroute routes with the Visorando mobile applicationFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

We've been working for several months on adding new features to Plotaroute. The translation of Plotaroute into French and German is still in progress. It's a very big project, more than we ever imagined.

In the meantime, we're delighted to announce that you can now view your routes in the Visorando mobile application with just one click. We've added links to your route pages, as well as to the map menu.

The Visorando mobile application makes it very easy to follow a route thanks to GPS positioning.

We're working on new connections between Plotaroute and Visorando: soon, you'll be able to link your accounts.

I am a premium member of Plotaroute , does this mean i am a member of Visorando now they have taken over ownership ?

I am a premium member of Platoroute and spend a lot of time in the UK and in France.  One of the the great features of Plotaroute in the UK is access to OS maps for route planning.  Are there any plans to provide access to IGN maps in France, following the merger?

Thanks for updating us that there are updates on the way.

Please also updae us regarding your native mo ile update strategy. Looks like you are going for your existing mobile app instead of the half baked plotaroute mobile app. Probaly a great decision.

Would also be great to hear if you have some kind of roadmap for developing the route planner.

More updates and I go premium again :)

It looks like developments are being made, which is great news, however it would be helpful if there were more announcements, along with details. 

As has already been asked (but not replied to), will we need to create and pay for a Visorando account or will this be provided as part of our Plotaroute subscription? Any info, roadmaps, timeslines would be much appreciated. Thank you. 

For the moment, there is no connection between the Plotaroute and Visorando accounts (or vice versa). You will soon be able to do so.

At the same time, Plotaroute and Visorando Premium subscriptions will be merged: if you are Plotaroute Premium user, you will gain access to Visorando Premium without having to pay again. 

The Visorando application with the premium subscription already provides access to OS maps. 

Do you have any further questions?

"you can now view your routes in the Visorando mobile application with just one click"

Where do I click?

I'm a premium plotarouter. How do I get the app?

I hope Visorando learns that Wales exists :)

Hi Chris, 

you can click on several links :

• on the logo "Plotaroute by Visorando", situated in the bottom right-hand corner of your the view map of your routes
• In the view map menu > To Visorando
• In the app : open a route > Follow with Visorando

Kind regards

Hi Allison,

you can install the free app Visorando via the store of your device (AppStore or PlayStore). Currently, subscriptions are not merged, but we work hard to make this available in the next weeks.
Thank you for your patience.

Kind regards

Hi Adam,

thank you for warning us. It is a bug, of course Visorando knows Wales 😉. This is going to be corrected in the next hours. 

Kind regards,

There is some confusion about what plotaroute app we are talking about .... the mobile version of the plotter works well. Maybe Peter Höglund is referring to the beta app, RoutePlot, when he says "Looks like you are going for your existing mobile app instead of the half baked plotaroute mobile app"?

@Mark  I imagine when refering to the 'half baked plotaroute mobile app' Peter is talking about the fact that the plotaroute 'app' is actually just a website browser view, instead of a native mobile app, with things like offline routes, maps, etc. Looks like Visorando does have a native app. I'm more concerned that there appear to be very very few routes in Australia.

Steve,

The potaroute 'app" seems to be a hybrid between a full app and, as you say, a form of website browser.

What I am trying to get Visorando to engage with is the New Mobile App that was in development before the takeover, the "native mobile app" you describe.

No matter how I ask, they do not give a clear reply and just add to the confusion.

Yes, with 'halfbaked', I meant the New Mobile App that was in beta development before the takeover, the "native mobile app". I didn't mean the 'web-app'.

As an Android user I never saw the native app and never saw a name for it.

Hi plotaroute admin, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I do have one more question.

When using the "Navigate route" function within the plotaroute "app" it wasn't possible to select an Ordnance Survey map, which was frustrating.

To get similar functiomality within Visorando, I select the desired route within the plotaroute app on my phone, then select "Follow with Visorando". I can now see the route and my position (small blue disc). If I select the map orientation to "Automatic : Direction of travel" the map will follow my live location. This is great and it works well. 

Is it possible to change the map layer to Ordnance Survey Explorer? Currently, I can't see that option however I don't yet have a full account in Visorando.

Thanks

Hi Richard,

thank you for this feedabck. Indeed you can change the map layer => via the button in the top left-hand corner of the map.

OS explorer maps require a susbcription. We do all our best to merge Ptotaroute and Visorando susbscriptions and accounts. In a few weeks you will have full acces of our tools if you have a subscription, thank you for your patience 🙏

Kind regards

Regarding the discussion about the beta app RoutePilot : we'll release it (we are currently discussing with the company that develop it to finish the project). But our main goal is to male the Visorando app the main mobile app for Plotaroute. That's why we are creating some connections between Visorando and Plotaroute.

About the apps:
Perhaps it's worth to consider that the Plotarout app (the old one) as web browser application has one advantage: It also runs on other thatn Apple or Android devices. Yes - there are some poeple on the world using other operating systems on their phones ;)
So perhaps it would be greeat, if the current (web browser) Plotaroutr app would stay functional - even if there are some changes made on Plotaroute...
