On your phone? Creating a Route

This opens the route builder:

The route builder toolbar with Snap and Mode options
  • Snap changes how the route fills in between your points. By default it follows the orange trails on the map. You can switch it to snap to your own routes and tracks, or turn snap off to get straight lines between points.
  • Mode switches between Hiking and Driving, for building a route on roads instead of trails.

Drawing the route

Click on the map to add points — snap-to-trail fills in the path between them.
