Adding a waypoint to an already published trail

Have you forgotten to add a Waypoint to a route you have already published?

You can add waypoints to trails you have already uploaded without losing any information with the  grouping / ungrouping tool offered on the Wikiloc website.

When uploading a trail to Wikiloc, if it includes an itinerary and one or more waypoints, these will appear as a "grouping" of the trail + waypoints.

If you forgot to mark a waypoint during recording or want to add more, you can do so as follows:
  1. If you already have the waypoint in a .gpx file, upload it to Wikiloc and jump to step 3.
  2. If you know the exact location of the waypoint/s you want to add:
    1. Create a route manually using Wikiloc web's trail creating tool.
    2. Focus on the waypoints. You can create a short, fictional itinerary in the area, mark the waypoints, and save the route without adding further details.
    3. Once the trail is uploaded, go to the Your Trails list on the left, locate this new trail, and click on Ungroup (the itinerary and each waypoint will now appear separately).
    4. Delete the itinerary from the new route you created.
  3. Group the original itinerary with the original waypoints and the new ones you want to add.

The group and ungroup tool is located in the Your Trails list, which appears in the menu that drops down when you click on the profile icon in the top right corner.

We explain in detail how to use it in this article.
