Improve your route creation with these tools, designed to help you draw precise and intuitive paths.
Draw Routes Freehand
To start a new route, use the Draw New Routes tool
.
Move your finger across the map to sketch your path. You can create multiple routes on a single map, each with its own color (see Color Selector).
To extend an existing route, use the Draw Routes tool
. Simply grab an endpoint and drag it further across the map.

Straight Lines
The Draw Routes tool
also lets you draw straight lines. Press and hold anywhere on the map to create a straight line from the active endpoint to the selected point. Adjust the direction by moving your finger.
You can activate the other endpoint at any time by tapping it.
Snap to Road
Use the Snap to Road tool
to make your routes automatically follow nearby roads and trails. This makes it much easier to create accurate routes, even along narrow footpaths.
Below you can see the difference between Snap to Road turned off (left) and turned on (right):
Combine Routes
When you finish drawing a route close to another one, TouchTrails will ask whether you want to merge them or keep them separate. This is especially helpful when combining routes from different GPX files.

Track your GPS location
For even more flexibility, you can create routes using your live GPS position. Learn more in the section on GPS Tracking.
