Tools

This section gives you a clear overview of the tools TouchTrails provides for creating and editing routes and waypoints.

Draw Routes

The basic tool: use the pen to draw routes directly on the map. Drag route endpoints to extend a route.
By pressing and holding, you can draw a route to the corresponding position.

Enable “Snap to Road” to automatically align the route with roads and trails.

Note: Re-select the “Draw Routes” tool to access its sub-tools: “Draw New Routes” and “Change Route Colors.”

Draw New Routes

Use this tool to create additional routes on your map. This allows you to add multiple routes within the same map.

Change Route Colors

Use this tool to change the color of a route and make them easier to distinguish. Simply tap a route to apply the currently selected color (see Color Selector).

GPS Tracking

Create routes based on your live location. You can start or stop tracking at any time.

“Snap to Road” also works seamlessly while using GPS Tracking.

Erase Routes

This tool lets you erase specific route segments or split a route into separate parts.

Waypoints

Easily add waypoints to your map or edit existing ones.

Explore Elevation

With this tool enabled, move your finger along a route to highlight the corresponding location in the elevation profile.

Move Map

Activate this tool to pan, zoom, rotate, or tilt the map without interacting with routes or waypoints.

Note: No matter which tool is active, you can always pan, zoom, rotate, and tilt the map — except when directly interacting with a route, a route endpoint, or a waypoint.
