Splitting & Joining Routes

iPhone & iPad

This feature isn’t available in the Android app yet.

Splitting and joining let you reshape routes into exactly what you need. Your original routes are kept: a split leaves you with three routes (the original and its two halves), and a join leaves you with three as well (the two originals and the joined route). For other edits to a single route, see Editing Routes.
