Routes are very important documents, giving us the information we need before going out into the nature. A Route document also makes it possible to centralize the reports (outing documents) for that particular route, sharing info such as conditions or in situ gear. For example, reports for the Mont Blanc standard ascent are all present in the same place.
Before adding to the guidebook, it is important to check that the information does not exist in the database. To do this, in Topoguide >> Select the nature of what you are going to inform (route, waypoint), then, using the map, zoom in on the place where you want to add the object >> Select "Filter on map extent" and make sure that the object to be created does not already exist in the list (sometimes of several pages) on the left.
If the object does not exist, you can create it:
Once identified, click the green Add tab >> Add a route, or use the "Add a route" link you'll find on a waypoint document.
Before filling in the fields, read the help at the top of the page. For each field, contextual help is available by clicking on the title of the field. Be sure to choose at least one waypoint (summit, crag, …).
Any identified contributor can edit the description of an existing collaborative document. To do this, on the document you want to edit, click on the "Edit" tab you'll find on the page.
Georeference a document and view it on the map
For a document to be georeferenced (and therefore appear on the map), you may upload a GPS track, or draw a line, or simply click on the map to place an icon (the most useful place being the start of the route).
If the georeferencing of a document seems unacurate, do not hesitate to edit (correct) the placement.
