Cresting route via a specific path/road #181

Open tio-trom opened 3 years ago

tio-trom commented 3 years ago

I am giving you an example: I am trying to create a route from one side of spain, to another, via a very well known route called GR11. I select the start and end points, and the route it is created it is the fastest. But I cannot select to follow only the GR11 route. Or is it possible? Dragging the path to GR11 is too much for such a huge route (over 800km).

Unfortunately there is no good way to do this right now. This issue is already being tracked as #19.

I can recommend two workarounds for you right now:

Either you find a GPS trace of the route online and import it into FacilMap
Or you search for relation 1254604. This will load the whole E9 international hiking route, which you can then add to the map. However, I wouldn't recommend this as I think it will take hours to load, I don't even know if it would work.

In both cases unfortunately you won't be able to drag the route.

Also, have you tried the “Hiking” route mode? I could imagine that that could at least partly try to follow long-distance hiking routes.

Found this and works. Super cool! I wonder tho how can I save this as the default map? I wanted to be able to share with others. I mean to share the route itself. I can save the map but not the route?

Ok I managed to kinda do it https://maps.trom.tf/QMOiDDPV7SFQ - but it is still an interesting idea to be able to select a specific path/trail when you create a route. And for now there is no such option as far as I understand.
