How do I create or edit a route?

Slopes Explore includes a route editor that works right in the app. You can draw a brand new route, or edit one you've imported or saved from a recording.

Starting a route

There are a few ways to start:

• From Guide → Library: tap +, then Create Route
• From a resort's info page
• By touching and holding anywhere on the map, then tapping Plan Route
• From a search result: tap Plan Route Here

The screen will ask you to tap to add your starting point. The stats and graphs fill in once you've added at least two points.

To move the map somewhere else while you draw, tap search and pick a place, a peak or a set of coordinates. The map jumps there and you stay in the editor.

Drawing a route

There are two ways to draw. Switch between them with the mode button (it shows Direct to start with):

• Direct: tap each point, and Slopes joins them with straight lines
• Draw: sketch the line with your finger (or Apple Pencil on iPad), and Slopes plots the points for you

While you draw, you'll see a live preview of the Elevation, Grade and Slope graphs, so you can judge the line as you build it.

You can't add points while Map Options is open. You can still move the map around, but close Map Options to keep drawing.

Tweaking your route

Tap a point to:

• Measure from it
• Move it
• Remove it To finish where you started, tap your first point to close the route into a loop. To come back the way you went, tap the mode button and choose Out & Back. Made a mistake? Tap Undo.

Editing an existing route

Open the route and tap the … menu. You'll find:

• Edit: change the route's name, notes, color and icon
• Change Path: reopen the route in the editor to change its line
• Crop: trim the route down to just the part you want. For example, you could turn a full recorded run into just the entry and exit of a tree gully. It's much quicker than removing points one at a time.
• Duplicate: make a copy
• Hide on Map: keep the route in your library but hide it from the map
• Include In…: add it to an existing collection, or a new one
• Download Region: download an offline map around the route. Once it's saved, this shows Region Downloaded.
• Export As…: save the route as a file
• Delete: remove the route
