Turn One Route into Many

Building on our multi-route support, we've added the ability to split any route into separate segments. This is perfect for breaking down a long journey into manageable daily stages.

How It Works

Splitting a route is simple:

1. Select your route - Click on it in the Routes panel to make it the active route (you'll see a glow around it on the map)
2. Right-click on the map - Click at the point where you want to split
3. Choose "Split Route Here" - Select the scissors icon from the context menu

That's it! Your route is now two separate segments.

What Happens When You Split

When you split a route:

• The original route is replaced with two new routes: "Route Name (Part 1)" and "Route Name (Part 2)"
• The first segment keeps the original color
• The second segment gets a new color automatically
• Distance and elevation statistics are recalculated for each segment
• Both segments share the split point (it becomes the end of Part 1 and the start of Part 2)

Perfect for Multi-Day Trip Planning

The real power of split route comes when planning multi-day adventures:

1. Start with Your Complete Route

Load your full route - whether it's a week-long cycling tour, a thru-hike, or an ultra-marathon course.

2. Split at Your Planned Stops

Right-click at each location where you plan to stop for the night. Each split creates a new daily stage.

3. Plan Each Day Independently

With separate routes for each day, you can:

• View daily statistics - See exactly how far you'll ride/walk each day and how much climbing you'll face
• Search for POIs per stage - Find accommodation, water, and food specific to each day's route
• Compare daily distances - Use the route comparison view to balance your daily stages

4. Export Individual GPX Files

When it's time to load routes onto your GPS device, export each day as a separate GPX file. No more scrolling through a massive waypoint list to find today's stops.

Tips for Effective Splitting

• Split at logical points - Towns, campsites, or natural landmarks make good stage boundaries
• Consider elevation - Try to avoid splitting mid-climb; look for flatter sections
• Split repeatedly - You can split the resulting segments again to create multiple sections
• Use Route Settings - Right-click also gives you quick access to rename or recolor each segment
