Draw a new route
Create your tracks directly in Trail Connect

Create your tracks directly from the app using the calculated route tool! Here's how to do it in just a few simple steps:

  1. Select Create a route from the home screen
  2. In the route tool settings , choose the data source: IGN (recommended in France) or OSM (outside France) and the type of terrain you want for automatic calculation
  3. Define the location of your first point on the map by positioning the centre of the target
  4. Add your first point by clicking on the add button in Automatic calculation
  5. Reposition your target on the location of your second point and place it by clicking the  button again

If you don't like the route proposed by the automatic calculation, you can cancel the proposal and place your new point closer to the previous one, or use the manual placement tool.

You can also delete  your entire route and start again

THE BENEFITS OF THE AUTOMATIC ROUTE

Terrain types

  • The auto-calculation feature allows you to determine the terrain types (road, path, trail, etc.) for your route, which will be displayed on the track, the profile and in the settings panel.
  • You can choose whether or not to display them in the settings.
Directional indications

  • The auto-calculator also generates directional information for your route.
  • You can choose whether or not to display them in the settings.
  • You can change and move the directions. Click on one of them to modify or delete it and move it by holding your finger down on it and dragging it.
  • In the settings, you can also configure the button to create a directional indication manually.

Savez your route

Once you have completed your track, save it by using the button at the top right (requires subscription). Fill in the required fields:

  • Name your route so that it can be easily identified in searches by other users.
  • Add your route to one of your folders so that you can find it easily in your user space. If none is selected, the trail will be added by default to your ‘Unclassified’ folder.
  • Choose whether you want your track to be public or not
You can also add tags, photos and a description to your route to make it stand out.

Please note: once saved, your trail cannot be modified on the application. Go to Trace de Trail to edit your trail with a host of tools!

Find your track

Once you have saved your route, you can find it on Trail Connect and Trace de Trail:

On Trail Connect :

    In the ‘My Folders’ section of the home screen to find your new route in the folder selected when you saved it.
    In the ‘Search’ section of the home screen, filtering by ‘My tracks’.

By clicking on the route, you'll find all the information about the track and the option of launching an outing with live tracking and a track exit alarm.

On Trace de Trail, go to your user area to find your route, in the ‘My tracks’ section and in the ‘My folders’ section. Here you can modify your track if necessary. Any changes you make will be directly visible in Trail Connect.
