Edit a Route

Use route editing when you already have a route and need to correct, extend, shorten, or tidy it.

Open The Route

1. Open Routes, Tracks & Waypoints.
2. Find the route in your library.
3. Use View or turn on its map visibility if you need to see it on the map.
4. Open the route actions for the change you want to make.

Typical Changes

• Use Properties... to rename the route or review its details.
• Use Move... to put the route in a different folder.
• Use Reverse if you want to travel the route in the other direction.
• Use Continue Route on desktop when you want to extend an existing route.
• Use Edit Mode when the route line itself needs changing on the map.

Change Or Inherit Appearance

1. Open the route's Properties....
2. Choose the Route tab.
3. Select a colour, width, or other value to create a local choice. The selected value is shown as (set).
4. To inherit one property again, choose Use <value> from parent.
5. To clear all local Route choices, use Reset Route.

Expected result: an inherited Blue follows a later folder change; Blue (set) remains Blue. Reset means “inherit again”.

Routes inherit the folder's complete On-screen Width Range. The range is changed on a folder, not on an individual route.

When you use Move..., inherited properties adopt the destination folder. Only genuine (set) choices stay with the route.
