Editing Routes

Once you've saved a route, you can reshape it without starting over. The same options are available for tracks. To split one route into two or join two routes together, see Splitting & Joining Routes.

How to edit a route

1. Open the route's info card and tap More.

   

2. Tap Edit, then choose an edit (see Editing options below).

   

3. Follow the prompt on the map:

   • Change start & end: move the crosshairs, then tap Crop to Crosshairs.
   • Change the middle: tap Next, draw the new section, then tap Done.
   • Extend the start or Extend the end: move the crosshairs to draw the new section, then tap Done.

4. For Change start & end and Change the middle, Topo Maps+ asks you to confirm the change. Tap Looks Good to keep it, or Undo to go back.

   

Editing options

• Reverse Route Direction: swaps the route so the beginning becomes the end and the end becomes the beginning. It takes effect right away.

• Change start & end: a quick way to trim the route. Move the crosshairs to the new start and end, bringing the head and tail in.

  

• Change the middle: select a section in the middle of the route, then redraw it. First move the crosshairs to the start and end of the section you want to change and tap Next:

  

  Then draw the new section and tap Done:

  

• Extend the start: draw more route onto the beginning.

• Extend the end: draw more route onto the end.

On a track, the options read Reverse Track Direction and so on. Change start & end, Change the middle, and Extend the start require an Essentials subscription or higher.
