Please develop a new routplaning that allow to setup a route which has the maybe same Start and Endpoint for hiking tours. There should be a filed to setup the max time and/or the max distance to hike.

Osmand should calculate a roundtrip that fit best for this.

You can create such routes simply by picking 1 or several intermediate destinations. So I suggest you simply pick the end point of you hike as first intermediate, and if you want a different return trip pick another point you want to bypass on your return trip as second intermediate. Not sure what more can be done here?

Nice Idea. But most time I go Hiking in areas I do not know. It's also not easy to see the real distances so you have to play around with the flags. I also see this Request as a potential for more. So you maybe could auto generate City hiking tours which automatically generate tours with tourism and sightseeing locations thats already present in Osmand. For Alpine hiking you could automatic include/limit to official hiking trails.

IIRC the web router of http://kurviger.de has such a feature for motorbikes ... Enter a route length in kilometers ... And that engine calculates.one or more roundtrips.

So that feature is wanted?
