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.

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:

You can select a different activity or transport for a new route segment before adding another route point.

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:
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:
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.

The LoPoint is added at the end of the route.

This way you can add also your user points like geocaches or search results to the route:

Adding points inside the route

The route points are lined up in an itinerary displayed on the panel on the left. Here you can place the route points at the beginning or inside the route.

  • click + in between the route points in the itinerary where you want to insert a new point - a new mid-point is created:
  • click on the place on the map or on a LoPoint which you want to insert:

Changing order, deleting, reverse direction

You can change the order of the route points by click-and-drawing them up or down the line (1), delete them (2), or reverse the course of the whole route (3):

To delete the whole route from the planner, tap Clear:

Changing activity in the route segments

You can fine-tune the route progress by selecting a different activity or means of transport for each route segment.

  • click the symbol of the segment activity in the itinerary. A selection of activities and transport opens up.:
  • select a different activity
  • the route re-routes accordingly:

Route stats

Statistics of the route like distance, estimated time or elevation gain are displayed in the left panel under the itinerary.

Elevation chart

The elevation and slope progress of the route is displayed on a chart:
The chart also displays min/max elevation and slope, waypoints and elevation/slope/distance at the position of the cursor:
You can change the X-axis parameter - distance or estimated time:
