# Offline Routing

<figure><img src="/files/3lkP4fKqTyMWrBlgmdSC" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Newtracs now supports fully offline routing, allowing you to plan and navigate routes without any mobile reception or internet connection.

Whether you’re exploring remote 4WD tracks or planning multi-stop trips, the new Offline Routing system ensures that you always know where you’re going.

To use offline routing, ensure you have:

* The offline map for the region downloaded
* The Newtracs app updated to the latest version
* Location permissions enabled

Once downloaded, all routing, recalculation, and editing works completely offline.

### Create Route

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Navigate to the Mapp View

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Tap Create Route Button <img src="/files/jib2RQZmAyrjMbvnH0t9" alt="" data-size="original">

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Long press on anywhere in the map to chose a starting point&#x20;

Add additional route waypoints by long pressing on anywhere in the map
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

This will snap the plotted route to the road network
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Tap Save

The route will be saved in your saved items

{% endhint %}

### Navigate from saved and search items&#x20;

You can create a route completely offline using:

* Search
* Saved Items (trails, pins, campsites, POIs)&#x20;

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Navigate to the Map View

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Tap the Search or the Saved items icons

Select the destination
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Tap Navigate Icon <img src="/files/PG8VjcC9YOf0h5ZOdnMQ" alt="" data-size="original">

The app will immediately calculate your offline route if the map and region are downloaded.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% embed url="<https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxrVB0w8xRlkVueMgn8Dp%2Fuploads%2FXilZeE07nvPI8SWBK9rp%2Fvideo-output-BF83AB54-8A1C-4045-A2D6-8AD57892665F-1.mp4?alt=media&token=b93bb0d3-c337-4c02-b7dc-722e27c33381>" %}

Newtracs will automatically present multiple routing options when available:

* Fastest on-road route
* 4WD / Off-road prioritised route
* Alternative options if more than one viable track exists

Each route will display:

* Total distance
* Estimated time

{% hint style="warning" %}
Currently, the route will not take into consideration your vehicle type and trail difficulty ratings. Please review the route to ensure it is appropriate for your vehicle prior to driving.
{% endhint %}

### Multi-Stop Route Planning&#x20;

You can now build a complex route with multiple stops, even while offline.

#### To add a stop

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Follow steps above to create route

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Long press on the map to add a new stop

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### To edit the stop location, long press then drag the waypoint

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Tap **Snap** to snap the route to the road network

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
&#x20;You can add multiple stops to your route, but they must be added *after* the main destination — adding a stop between the starting point and the destination isn’t currently supported
{% endhint %}

### Editing Routes

#### To Edit Routes

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Tap an existing route on the map > tap **Edit Route**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select a route from Saved Items > tap **Edit Route**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Reorder stops / waypoints by long pressing, dragging and dropping

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Tap **Undo** button to remove stops (![](/files/0jVseQq8jbkEOqn3K7EL))

{% endstep %}
