Create a route

Getting started

Here’s how.

1. From the root menu open the map by tapping the map icon   and tap the route icon   to begin route tracking.

2. Session Details

   Name the session of your route recording.

   What do you mean session? Why not route? Routes are the concept of the route. A trail, path, road... route in general. The session is this instance of your traveling that route. 

   Choose your activity and start recording. Grant the location permissions requested for tracking.

3. Choose a route (optional)

   If you have already created this route under My Routes this session will be stored inside of it. Otherwise, it will remain in the Unlinked Sessions section of your Routes.
   
   Under My Routes you can create routes to file your Unlinked Sessions in at any time.

4. Where (optional)

   You can link this session to a trail, path, river, mountain, or whatever. Please only link them to the feature you are actually adhering to.

   What type of activity are you participating in?

6. Who (optional)

   Tagging anyone joining you on your route session.

7. Privacy

8. Start Tracking

   Push that to being tracking your route session.
9. Once you have started tracking, you'll see the active route page. You do NOT need to keep that open while tracking your route. You can click the "Back" in the top left corner of that page.

10. Active Tracking
