Creating and Managing a Route

What is a Route?

In Viratrip, a route is a geolocated track that you draw on a map. It can be associated with an event to guide participants with GPS navigation.

A route contains:

• A track with ordered waypoints
• Automatic statistics (distance, elevation, estimated duration)
• A privacy level (All club members, Administrators only)
• Tags for categorisation
• Optional photos

Creating a Route from the Map

From the Web

1. Sign in at app.viratrip.com
2. Go to Routes > + Create a route

Placing Waypoints

On the map, click to place each waypoint in order. The app automatically traces the road between points following existing roads.

• Address search: use the search bar to precisely locate a point
• Satellite view: switch to satellite view to identify scenic small roads
• Move a point: click and drag an existing waypoint
• Delete a point: click the point, then the delete icon
• Insert a point: click on the track to add an intermediate waypoint that you can drag to reposition

Statistics (distance, duration) update in real time with each change.

Waypoints and Points of Interest

A waypoint is a marker positioned on the route. They define the track and the app calculates the road path between them.

You can name important waypoints to indicate landmarks for participants (e.g. “Start parking”, “Refreshment stop”, “Panoramic view”).
