Finally click the blue ‘Bereken de route’ link in the left pane and this should produce the results of your route, giving you the length, time and calories you will burn on the route! If you click on the ‘Toon routebeschrijving’ link it will give you a printable description of the route. If you tick the box next to where it says ‘en/of met kaartjes’ it will give you the maps of the route. You can also select which scale to have and how many maps to have.
