Route editor

Whether you’re creating a new route or updating an existing one, you’ll use the same editor. It has up to four tabs — think of them as chapters in building your route.

The tabs​

TabWhat you do here
DetailsName, location, languages, price, cover photo, publish settings
MessagesWelcome, goodbye, and “you’ve gone off the path” (off-track only when a map route is enabled)
WaypointsIndividual stops with stories, photos, and audio
GPX & MapUpload GPX, import stops, and (when Show route on map is on) the route line

Details tab​

Location​

City and country are required. These help visitors know where the walk takes place.

Languages​

Select every language you want to offer. Each language gets its own title, description, and tags. Your first selected language is the “main” one — its title is required when you save.

Route settings​

  • Walking / Biking / Driving — match how visitors will move
  • Allow choose start — let visitors pick their starting stop
  • Show route on map (GPX) — on by default; draws the route on the map and enables path-based navigation in the app. Turn off for waypoint-only routes (no line, no turn-by-turn, no off-track alerts)
  • Close route loop (circle) — only available when “Show route on map” is on; connects the last stop back to the first when generating the path

Status & visibility​

  • Status — Draft (still working), In review (ready for a colleague to check), Published (live)
  • Visibility — who can discover the route (see Publishing)

Your role may limit which options you can choose.

Distance, duration & price​

You can enter length and time by hand, or let the map file fill them in automatically. Set a price if the route is for sale.

Cover image​

Upload a photo that sells the experience. You can change or remove it later.

Save & delete​

  • Save — always click this after making changes on this tab
  • Delete route — permanently removes the route (some restrictions apply for live routes and editors)

Import JSON (existing routes only)​

Already have a route saved? You can import a JSON file to update content in bulk, with an option to replace all stops.

Messages tab​

Three message types, each in every language you’ve selected:

  1. Introduction — sets the scene when someone starts
  2. Final — a satisfying close when they finish
  3. Off track — a gentle nudge when they’ve left the route line (only used when Show route on map is enabled)

For each, write text and add voice audio when you’re ready.

→ Messages & audio

Waypoints tab​

A list of stops on the left (or top on mobile), details on the right.

  • Drag stops to reorder the walk
  • Add new stops or delete ones you don’t need
  • Bulk generate voice for all stops that have scripts ready

Each stop has a title, map position, trigger radius, story text, optional photo, and audio.

→ Waypoints

GPX & Map tab​

Visible always. When Show route on map is off, use this tab to upload GPX and import stops only — no route line is shown to visitors.

See the full route on a map. Click to add stops, drag pins to adjust positions, and upload or generate the path visitors follow.

A preview shows roughly what the visitor experience will look like.

Tips for a smooth edit​

  1. Save the Details tab first — everything else needs a saved route
  2. Work stop by stop — save each waypoint before moving on
  3. Check the map — zoom in to make sure pins sit in the right place (and on the route line, if you use one)
  4. Listen to the audio — generate or upload, then preview on your phone if you can
  5. Don’t publish until you’ve tried it — walk the route, or at least check stops and any map line carefully
