Creating Routes

OMN makes it easy to plan your walks, hikes, and adventures by plotting routes directly on the map.

Plotting a Route on PC/macOS

Starting a Route

  1. Right-click at your desired starting location
  2. Select "Start Route" from the menu
  3. This creates your first waypoint

Adding Waypoints

As you move your cursor, a line appears connecting your first waypoint to the current mouse position.

  1. Position your cursor where you want the next waypoint
  2. Right-click to place it
  3. Repeat to build your route

Removing Waypoints

Made a mistake? Press the Delete key to remove the last waypoint you placed.

Finishing the Route

Once you've plotted all your waypoints:

  1. Right-click on the map
  2. Select "End Route"

Your route is now complete and saved.

Route Tips

  • Zoom in for precise waypoint placement on paths and tracks
  • Follow paths: Place waypoints along footpaths for accurate distance calculations
  • Add detail: More waypoints on winding sections gives better statistics
  • Name your route: Give routes meaningful names so you can find them later
