Create a route / path / itinerary and integrate it into a map

You want to integrate routes / tracks / itineraries to your map (e.g.: hiking trail, discovery circuit...)? We'll explain how!

You can use 2 methods:

Creating a route
Creating a resource

🛣️ Method #1: Creating a route

This method is recommended if you want to add detailed information in a route description and make it interactive.

Go to the page "Create" > "Routes"
Associate the route to a list:

Search for an existing list to which you want to add the route, then select it
Create a new list by entering the name you want to give it, then click on "+" to the right of the field

Enter a name for your route
Add, if you wish:

a description or information that will appear in the detailed view of the route when clicked on the map;
a tag to allow filtering the search on the map;
an image or video associated with the route.

📌 Please note:

In the space dedicated to adding information, you can format your text, create paragraphs by inserting separators, add media in URL format, insert redirect links, etc. You can also style your content in HTML.

Click on "Generate the track" at the bottom right
Import or draw your track:

Import a file (GPX, Geojson, KML):
- Add the relevant file in one of the 3 accepted formats
- Customize the appearance and color of the line outline if you wish —> you can also modify it later by going back to "Generate the track" then to "Track editing"
- Click on "Next", then "Save"
Track editing:
- Click on the drawing icon (between the arrow and pedestrian icons)
- Draw your route
- Then transform your route into a pedestrian or car itinerary by clicking on the relevant icon
- Customize the appearance and color of the line outline if you wish
- Click on "Next", then "Save"

Click on "Create"

Once your route is created:

Add the list (to which it belongs) to your map

📣 Good to know:

You can also add steps to your route by clicking on "Add steps", then importing the information using the method of your choice:

Import an xlsx file: the steps must be entered in the file with the name and address or latitude / longitude of the points
Import a list: select a list from Wemap Pro to associate the points to your route
Import a point: select the points from Wemap Pro to associate them to your route
Create a step manually: click directly on the map at the location where you want to position your step

The steps then appear at the bottom of the page and you have the option to:

Edit the description ("Edit" button)
Modify the order of steps (3-line icon)
Delete the step (trash icon)
Number the steps

✏️ Method #2: Creating a resource

This method is recommended if you want to import a route for which you don't want to associate rich content / information (e.g.: description...).

It will then be added as a layer to the map and will not be interactive.
