Plotting a route

Create your own customised routes with our route planner. It allows you to easily plot personalised routes tailored to your preferences and ability level.

Visorando offers automatic route plotting on OpenStreetMap, which will make the route follow paths on the map.

If you are plotting a route in France, our auto-plot feature is also compatible with the IGN France topographic map.

📱 On the mobile app

On mobile devices, the route planner is exclusively available to Visorando Premium subscribers.

To access the route planner, open the app menu using the button at the top left of the screen, then tap on Route Planner.

With the route planner, you can:

  • Tap the map to add a point
  • Tap the route to add a point to it
  • Tap a point to delete it
  • Press and hold a point + drag to move it
  • Undo the last action
