 +===== Route planning ===== 
 +A quick sample:

 +<html><iframe width="800" height="600" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q9xQgnIADe8?controls=1" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></html> 
 +==== Select activity ==== 
 +The first step is to select an activity for which the route will be created. The planner offers two **walking**, three **biking**, two **driving**, one cross-country **skiing** and one **manual** drawing mode.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web11.jpg?nolink |}} 
 + 
 +The manual mode is useful **only when you draw the route in a free terrain** or when the routing data for a particular area is missing:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web12.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +==== Add route points ==== 
 + 
 +The route is created the same way as in the app. The simplest way is to **click the route points directly on the map on roads and paths**. 
 + 
 +**The first click must be done with the right mouse button and selecting the "Start here" option:**\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web08.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +This way the planner switches into the drawing mode and you can add other route points by **left-clicking**. By shifting the cursor above the route line between the points a new point emerges and by dragging it you can **change the route progress**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web13.gif?nolink |}} 
 +You can **move** any of the route points at any time and the route always **reroutes** accordingly. 
 +=== Adding LoPoints and other points === 
 +You can also add LoPoints to your route. Shift the cursor on the LoPoint, and a popup emerges. Click on **Add to route**.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web09.jpg?nolink |}} 
 + 
 +This way you can add also your user points like geocaches or search results to the route:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web10.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +=== Changing order, deleting, reverse direction === 
 +The route points are lined up in an itinerary displayed on the panel on the left. You can **change their order** by click-and-drawing them up or down the line (1), **delete** them (2), or **reverse the course** of the whole route (3):\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web14.jpg?nolink |}} 
 + 
 +To delete the whole route from the planner, tap **Clear**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web21.jpg?nolink |}} 
 + 
 +=== Route stats === 
 +Statistics of the route like distance, estimated time or elevation gain are displayed in the left panel under the itinerary.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web28.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +==== Elevation chart ==== 
 +The **elevation and slope progress** of the route is displayed on a chart:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web18.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +The chart also displays min/max elevation and slope, waypoints and elevation/slope/distance at the position of the cursor:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web19.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +You can change the X-axis parameter - **distance or estimated time**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web20.gif?nolink |}} 
 +==== Sharing and export ==== 
 +=== Sharing a route === 
 +When you have planned a route, tap the **Share** button. A popup emerges, displaying a unique link that can be **copied to the clipboard** and shared:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web22.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +The link contains the waypoints defining the route. When it's clicked on it opens the Locus web route planner that re-renders the route from them.  
 +=== Sharing a LoPoint === 
 +If you need to share a link to an interesting place marked on the map, tap **Share** on the detail panel of the LoPoint:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web24.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +=== Sharing any place on the map === 
 +  * **right-click** the place on the map and select **Share point**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web25.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +  * add the **name** of the place (optionally) and **copy the link**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web26.jpg?nolink |}} 
 +=== Exporting a route === 
 +You can export the route as a **GPX file** that can be used in any navigation app or service. Click **Export** and then **Download as GPX**. If you don't want to keep the voice navigation commands in the route file, check the option:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:webplanner:web27.jpg?nolink |}}
