Route Summary
Ever since the early 90s of the last century, Promotor has been setting out the so-called Tank Bag Tours. You understand that the name still comes from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on roads with a roadbook in the tank bag or router roll. The 173 ANWB Promoter TankTasTocht (TTT) were scanned by Henry ten Dam and signed by Leon Stolk in Mapsource and later placed as a Track in a .gpx file. These are made available through the MrGPS website with the approval of the ANWB Promoter so that everyone can enjoy them. The 1st TTT is from 1992, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have further spaced the start point and end point of the route to avoid navigating directly to the end point, and I added the POI files from the start and end point just like a possible stop.
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.
Thanks to Henry, Leon, MrGPS and Promoter.

RouteXpert Review
This TTT starts in Asten and is part of 3 days of touring in the (Volcano) Eifel. This TTT is mainly about beautiful roads, there is a very small piece of A2 in Wessem to cross the mesh to Montfoort. Soon after Montfoort you cross the border to Germany where the 1st stop is planned in Waldfeucht at Restaurant Ratsstube. After coffee it goes back to the Netherlands to enter it at Schinveld, you cross South Limburg and you cross the border with Belgium at De Plank. Once in Belgium, head for the Lac de la Gileppe, to have lunch at the Restaurant du Lac de la Gileppe * and enjoy the view at the top of the restaurant, where you have a beautiful view of the reservoir. * The Gileppe dam (French: barrage de la Gileppe) is a dam in the Belgian province of Liège, in the municipalities of Jalhay and Baelen. The supply of water is assured by the Gileppe that originates in the High Fens.
After lunch it continues through the Ardennes towards Coo, where you have the option to refuel on the route. After the possible fuel stop, it continues towards the 3-country point (Belgium - Germany - Luxembourg), where you cross the border with Germany again to pause at Pension Froschloch, where the Dutch are in charge. This is also the last stop before you arrive at the terminus in Manderscheid, namely Hotel Am Ceresplatz, which is also run by Dutch people. Just before you reach the hotel you can refuel, so that you can leave the next day with a full tank.
Because I have driven this route myself, this route gets 5 stars.
Route details:
The route has been made the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users. That has been successful everywhere except in Animals between route points 29 and 30 (Purple), where TomTom and Garmin disagree. Not a big problem, if you drive alone you just follow the instructions of your GPS, if you drive in a group then you follow the driver. From route point 30 the two come together again and your GPS will follow the route correctly again.
