Drawing Routes

A route is a line connecting multiple points on the map. Use it to mark a patrol path, a planned travel corridor, an evacuation route, or any sequence of locations your team needs to follow.


How to draw a route

  1. Tap the Command Grid button (the grid icon on the map)

  2. Select Draw Route

  3. Drawing mode activates — you'll see a toolbar appear

  4. Tap on the map to place your first point

  5. Keep tapping to add more points along your path

  6. When you're done, tap Finish (or tap the last point again)

  7. A dialog appears to name and style the route:

    • Label — give the route a name
    • Color — pick an accent color
    • Description (optional)
  8. Tap Create

The route appears on everyone's map immediately.


Editing a route's details

After a route is created you can change its label, color, and description:

  1. Tap the route line on the map
  2. Tap Edit
  3. Update the fields
  4. Tap Save
note

You can edit a route's label and style after creation, but you cannot reshape the path. To change the path, delete the route and draw a new one.


Deleting a route

  1. Tap the route line to open its details
  2. Tap Delete
  3. Confirm

Recording a route from GPS

If you want to trace the path you're actually walking or driving in real time, use Route Recording instead. That captures your live GPS track automatically.
