Simply use your PC, your iPad or tablet, or even your smartphone to find interesting spots and tours, to publish your personalized Tour Book, to connect to like-minded people, to join groups or events, to share videos or photos or to arrange for a joint tour. The CheckMyTour portal allows you to manage and organize all your tours in a personalized Tour Book, to learn about people and places, and to connect with others sharing the same interests. You will hear what others said about particular places and learn from their experiences. And you may stay in touch with people you met while on tour. www.checkmytour.net

Tours

The page Tours is particularly interesting when you are looking for nice tour suggestions in your area. You may navigate and zoom with the map or type in an address if you are looking for tours at a particular place.

If there are many interesting tours in a specific area, a tile will automatically be displayed summarizing the number of tours. Clicking on the tile will zoom in to show all tours.

Starting points of tours are indicated by a pin with an icon showing the type of tour. When hovering the mouse over that pin, a tooltip shows some key information as well as the actual route is displayed on the map.

When you click a pin, a separate page with detailed information on that tour is displayed. Apart from distance and a short description, you will also see how others rated the tour. Also, the map is accompanied by an elevation profile.



Events

Via the page Events, you can access information about upcoming fairs, meetings, shows and other events. You may search for events or create a new one yourself thus inviting other members to join in.




 Groups

Motor biking on your own is OK - but how much more fun is it to go on a tour with like-minded people! For this, CheckMyTour provides groups. Here you can see which groups exist, join a group or found a group yourself.
 

 

Albums and Photos

A picture is worth a thousand words! And it is even more fun to talk about a nice tour when you have something to show! For this, use photos and albums which you may use together with your Tour Books - but also independently.
