Transport

Every gap between places in your itinerary is a transport leg — and Rooutie lets you add real detail to every single one. Auto-routed modes draw the actual path on the map. Manual modes let you log the details your own way. All transport appears in your itinerary and timeline.

​
Adding Transport

Click the + Add button in any day, then select Add Transport. The transport modal opens with a mode selector. Choose your mode and Rooutie handles the rest.

​
Auto-Routed Modes

These modes fetch the actual route — real roads, real trails, real transit — and draw the polyline on your map. You get accurate distance, time, and (for active modes) elevation data. How to use:
  1. Enter your origin and destination (search by city name or place name).
  2. Click Get Route.
  3. The route appears on the map as a coloured polyline. Review the distance and estimated time.
  4. Click Save to add it to your itinerary.

​
Waypoints (Drive, Walk, Hike, Bike)

Need to route through a specific point? Add waypoints:
  • Click Add Waypoint to insert an intermediate stop.
  • Reorder waypoints by drag and drop.
  • Click a point on the map to set a waypoint location directly on the map.
  • The route recalculates automatically every time a waypoint changes.
This is perfect for scenic drives where you want to stop at a viewpoint, or hikes with a detour to a summit.

​
Manual Modes

For transport where auto-routing doesn’t apply (trains, ferries, taxis), enter the details yourself: What you can log:
  • Origin and destination names
  • Duration (hours and minutes)
  • Distance (km)
  • Notes (e.g., “platform 3”, “pre-book via Trenitalia”)
  • Cost
These steps show in your itinerary timeline and Calendar view with the correct duration, but without a map polyline.
For flights, use the dedicated Add Flight option — it has a full flight editor with airport search, flight number lookup, seat tracking, and more. See Flights.

​
On the Map

After saving any auto-routed transport:
  • The polyline is drawn along the real road, path, or trail.
  • The transport step in the itinerary is linked to the polyline — click the step to highlight the route.
  • For hike and bike routes, the Elevation button appears on the map. Click it to open the elevation profile. Hover the chart to see a dot move along the route in real time. See Elevation Profiles.

​
Editing Transport

Click the ⋯ on any transport step card. The transport editor re-opens with the existing route pre-filled. Change the mode, adjust waypoints, update the manual details, or delete the step.
