routing

How can I create off-road routes?

Problem: TrailRunner touch uses the openStreetMap way network create routes along the transit locations you set. But sometimes the openStreetMap data is not complete or you really want to go off-road.
Solution: Transit location pins can be of type off-road. TrailRunner touch will then create a straight connection between the last orange transit location, the green off-road transit location and the upcoming transit location.
How-To: Either open the routing popover and set the mode to off-road. Then all further pints will be of type off-road. Alternatively convert an exiting pin by pressing on the transit location pin and choosing the corresponding command.

Contribute: To improve the mapping coverage of this area, you may want to contribute to the openstreetmap.org project. Layout the "missing link", export a GPX file and upload it to the openStreetMap network. It may then take up to two weeks until the track is available within TrailRunner touch.

How can I edit an imported route?
