  Hello All,

  I am new to plotaroute and wondering if you can use the mobile app to walk a route and the app captures what you have walked.

  Is that possible or not.

   

  Example I start in the village open the app and start walking, will it track what I have walked and make me a route?

   

  Thanks,

  Pat.

  Hi Pat,

  Thanks for joining the Plotaroute community! :)

  The Plotaroute web app does not allow recording routes, only plotting and following.
  However, the Visorando app would work fine for this.
  Visorando acquired Plotaroute a couple of years ago, and one useful addition to Plotaroute users is that Visorando provides a real smartphone app, with offline usage and the option to record your routes right on the app.

  You can link your Plotaroute account to Visorando, thus creating an account on Visorando as well.
  Routes from Plotaroute get synchronised with Visorando; this does not work the other way round.
  This means that if you were to record a route on Visorando and you also wanted to see it on Plotaroute, you would need to export/import the GPX from Visorando to Plotaroute.

  You can find the link at the top of the website, "Try Visorando for free", and more information about the link between Plotaroute and Visorando is available here: https://www.plotaroute.com/posts/3353/D/1

  I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any follow-up questions you may have.
  Kind regards,
  Julien
