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.| Mode | What you get |
|---|---|
| Drive | Road routing, distance, estimated drive time |
| Walk | Pedestrian routing with elevation data where available |
| Hike | Trail and off-road routing with full elevation profile, steepness, and surface type |
| Bike | Cycling routing with elevation profile, steepness, and surface type |
| Public Transit | City-to-city transit routing combining buses, metro, and train |
- Enter your origin and destination (search by city name or place name).
- Click Get Route.
- The route appears on the map as a coloured polyline. Review the distance and estimated time.
- Click Save to add it to your itinerary.
