Routes, Tracks & Waypoints
Overview
Open Routes, Tracks & Waypoints when you want to manage the saved lines and points that belong to you. This is where planned routes, recorded tracks, waypoints, and folders live.
What Lives Here
- Routes are planned lines you create before a trip or import from GPX.
- Tracks are recorded lines, usually from GPS and Tracklogs or GPX imports.
- Waypoints are saved single locations, such as a summit, car park, meeting point, or grid-reference target.
- Folders organise routes, tracks, and waypoints as your library grows.
Main Tasks
- Create a Route from the map.
- Edit a Route when a line needs correcting, extending, or reversing.
- Use Edit Mode for map-based route and point changes.
- Add and manage Waypoints.
- Keep related items together with Folders and Organisation.
- Move route, track, and waypoint data in or out with GPX Import and Export.
Good To Know
Your routes, tracks, and waypoints are stored on the device first. When sync runs, supported personal data can sync to the cloud; downloaded map files are managed separately on each device.
Their appearance normally comes from the nearest folder, then from the account-wide defaults in Settings > Styles. An explicit choice made in Properties stays local until you reset it. Moving an inheriting item can therefore change its appearance when the destination folder has different styles.
