    Hello,
    I noticed that it’s currently not possible to mark an existing road as a cycling or walking path on the map. I understand that these paths are currently being renovated or are close to completion. As an example, I have marked the section near Heroldishausen on the map: View Route.  https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2857375

    Is there any way to include this path on the map even though construction work is still ongoing? I’m planning to take this route at a later time and would like to include it in my planning already.

    Since I only speak German, a video response would be very helpful in explaining the steps.

    Thank you!

    Disabling Auto-Plot (Automatic Route Plotting):

    1. Open the Route Planner:
      Open the Plotaroute route planner and either start a new route or edit an existing one.

    2. Find the “Auto-Plot” Section:
      At the top center of the window, you'll see the “Auto-Plot” section, which consists of four buttons representing different automatic routing modes.

    3. Disable Auto-Plot:

      • Select the button that corresponds to “Off” (often labeled as “Off” or “No Routing”).
      • If a different mode is currently active, click on it first, and then select the “Off” button to fully disable automatic routing.

    4. Start Manual Plotting:

      • Once Auto-Plot is turned off, you can manually plot your route by clicking point by point on the map, without automatic connections or road suggestions.

    Lutz,

    Are you saying that disabling Auto-Plot works for your case, ie, you can manually go where teh Auto-Plot won't let you?

    Not perfect, but it works for small issues.

    Plotaroute uses the opensource OpenStreeMap database etc, it has no direct control over that.

    Thank you, Marc, for your reply. I can’t say exactly what the issue was – maybe I just didn’t know how to use the program properly at first. By now, I understand it much better and know how to work with it. The language the program is written in made things a bit challenging for me in the beginning. On top of that, I had some internet problems, which might have contributed to the difficulties.
