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 inland 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 have been made available through the MrGPS website with the approval of the ANWB Promoter so that everyone can enjoy it. 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 point.
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 IJlst and goes over mainly beautiful roads through the Gaasterland * landscape to the end point in Emmeloord. * Gaasterland is a region in the southwest corner of the Dutch province of Friesland. The former municipalities of Gaasterland-Sloten and Nijefurd are part of Gaasterland (Source: Wikipedia).
About 45 minutes after you have left IJlst you arrive in Hindeloopen and you continue to drive along the IJsselmeer for almost 45 minutes, so you will pass through Stavoren where you can take a picture with Stavoren's wife **.
** One of the versions of the legend tells of a rich merchant widow in Stavoren who lived in a house with golden floors and silver walls.
After the IJsselmeer you head towards Slotermeer, where a lunch stop is also included in the route. After lunch you will continue to wind along the many Frisian lakes and through small towns towards Joure, plenty of opportunities to capture your motorcycle with a beautiful background in the photo. Almost in Joure you keep to the right to drive towards Lake Tjeukem, you go around it towards Emmeloord where the end point of this TTT is.
Because I have not (yet) driven this route myself, this route gets 3 stars.
Route details:
rp 14 - Here you can have a picture with Het vrouwtje van Stavoren and have a coffee
rp 26 - Lunch stop at Snackbar Sloten Fish & Snacks "By de BrĂªge"
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 33 and 34 (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 34 the two come together again and your GPS will follow the route correctly again.
