In addition to the automatic routing profiles, you can also create a fully manual route that doesn’t rely on the standard road network. This is especially useful for MTB or gravel rides, when you want to follow trails, cross natural areas, or design a custom route that may not exist in the routable map data. You simply place points directly on the map to draw the exact path you have in mind, with complete freedom.
