Routes Update

I have started updating the shared routes to make them more uniform and useful. The first and most important change is based on the new Ride with GPS Highlights feature. This allows me to take any existing POI I have on one of my routes and make it a highlight. RWGPS reviews it, and makes it a highlight, and then everyone can see the highlight/POI when they are looking at the RWGPS layer. I am starting to see the highlights on the routes now. Eventually all of the shared routes will be updated with highlights for POIs.

The next change is based on being able to edit surface type. Traditionally I had made my routes yellow where they were unpaved. Now I am making the routes all red, and editing the surface type to be correct based on my experience and mapping. The reporting of percent of unpaved will be exact.
