Edit your Tripmap

Clicking the "Edit"-button allows you to switch to the map editing mode.

 

When in "Edit Mode" two more buttons are available at the toolbar - a crop button which allows you to select and delete multiple waypoints and a trash-button which will delete all waypoints.

Also - when Edit mode is activ - you will see light red colored markers between the numbered- and dark red colored markers. By draging and droping the light - and dark red markers you can adjust your route - e.g. to fit the route around an island.

 

You can also drag and drop the numbered markers (which indicate a posting) seperate from the dark red waypoints.

 

You can also draw your route further - just click in the map at the position you would like to set the next waypoint.

 

After dropping a marker, the color of the maker will turn darkred and the route will be adjusted. By clicking on the marker an info window will pop-up where you can either create a blog post for this location or delete this waypoint.
