# Routes, stops and timing

Find the planner controls, adjust your itinerary, and understand what the estimates mean.

## Where are the controls?

Docs is in the header on larger screens. On phones, open the three-dot More menu → Docs & help. Help opens in another tab so you can keep your trip open. Appearance is also in More on phones. Trips in the header switches, duplicates, imports or deletes saved local trips. Share opens downloads, copying and print options. Account handles sign-in, preferences and assistant access. On phones, the bottom navigation switches Route, Plan, Weather and Packing; on larger screens, itinerary and route appear together.



## Add and edit stops

Tap the route to add a mapped stop, use Add a stop in the itinerary, or select an existing stop to edit its mileage, purpose, break and notes. Check the location on the map. Approximate reference milestones are identified; they are not field-verified locations. Tap an itinerary leg or drag across elevation to follow its route section.



## Moving time, breaks and deadlines

Moving hours are your planning budget, not a fitness prediction. Breaks increase elapsed time. Overnight pauses resume the itinerary on the next day; inspect each date and time. Use your own sunrise/sunset and deadline values, and verify them for the trip date.



## Water between stops

Only an owner-confirmed refill resets the carry calculation. A spring candidate, campsite or car does not supply water automatically. Confirm availability and access, mark the relevant refill, and adjust cold/normal/hot drinking allowances and capacity to suit you. Carry estimates remain assumptions, not a prescribed drinking rate.

## Your plans, your choice

Plan as a guest. Trips stay in this browser unless you deliberately share or export them. Signing in lets you keep account preferences and review assistant proposals; it does not upload your local library.

Route references and planning estimates help preparation. Check current access, conditions, water and your group’s readiness before heading out. Keep an editable JSON backup of plans you want to retain.
