Waypoints
Adding, editing, and organising waypoints, water sources, and resupply points.
Waypoints mark key locations along your route — campsites, water sources, resupply towns, summits, road crossings, or any point worth planning around. They appear as pins on the map and are listed in the daily itinerary.
Adding a waypoint
Inside a trip, open the Waypoints tab and click Add waypoint. You can set:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | Required |
| Type | Standard, Campsite, Water source, Resupply point, or Travel segment |
| Day | Which day of the trip this waypoint belongs to |
| Distance | Distance from the previous waypoint (optional) |
| Notes | Free text (optional) |
| URL | Link to a trail page, hut booking, or map (optional) |
| Price | Accommodation or resupply cost (optional) |
| Star colour | Visual flag for quick scanning |
Waypoint types
Tagging a waypoint with a specific type adds a distinct icon to the map pin and lets you filter by type:
- Campsite — overnight stop
- Water source — creek, spring, or water cache
- Resupply point — town, post office, or cache location
- Travel — marks a transit section (bus, shuttle, hitch)
Water sources and resupply points also appear in a dedicated summary view alongside the itinerary, so you can answer "where is the next water?" without scrolling through all waypoints.
Water sources and resupply points can be hidden from the map using the display settings toggle (settings icon in the dashboard header) if you want a cleaner view during planning.
Reordering waypoints
To change the order of waypoints within a day, select a waypoint and use the up / down arrow buttons in the action bar. The order determines the sequence in the itinerary view and the direction of the connector line on the map.
The waypoint connector line
When waypoints are present, the Trip Planner draws a connector line between them on the map to show the intended sequence. This line is drawn in a separate colour from the GPX track so you can tell them apart — the GPX track shows the actual recorded or planned route, while the connector shows the logical sequence of stops.
Editing a waypoint
Click a waypoint in the list to select it, then click the Edit button. All fields can be updated. Changes save immediately.
Deleting a waypoint
Select a waypoint and click the Delete button, or use the context menu (three-dot icon). The pin is removed from the map immediately. Deletion is instant with no confirmation dialog.
