What is the group & ungroup tool?

A trail consists of an itinerary and its waypoints, if any. These can be ungrouped and regrouped.

The group and ungroup tool is found in the list Your trails in the menu, which drops when clicking on the profile icon at the top right.

If a trail has several components (itinerary + waypoints), you will see an Ungroup option when you hover over it.

The group and ungroup tool can be useful if you want to:

Add a waypoint to a trail

When you upload a trail to Wikiloc, it is uploaded as a grouping of the itinerary and the associated waypoints. If you forgot to mark a waypoint during the route or simply want to add more, you can do it this way:

1. If you have the waypoint in .gpx file, upload it to Wikiloc and skip to step 3.
2. If you know the location of the waypoints:
   1. Create a trail manually using the trail drawing tool from the Wikiloc website.
   2. You can create a short fictional itinerary around the area, mark the waypoints, and save the route without further information.
   3. Once the trail is uploaded, locate this new trail and click on Ungroup in the list Your trails (which appears in the menu that drops down when clicking on the profile icon at the top right). Now, the itinerary and each of the waypoints will appear separately.
   4. Delete the itinerary of that new trail.
3. Group the itinerary with the original waypoints and the new ones you want to add, as explained in the How to use the group tool section.

Group a trail recorded in several stages

If you have done a long-distance route in several recorded stages, you can group them into one single trail as follows:

1. Upload all trails separately to Wikiloc
2. If they have waypoints, they must be ungrouped to separate the itinerary from the waypoints.
3. Group the different itineraries with all waypoints into one single route.

How to use the group tool

The group and ungroup tool is found in the list Your trails in the menu, which drops when clicking on the profile icon at the top right.

1. Select the base itinerary that will contain the rest of the waypoints/s by clicking on its name in the list on the left (1).
2. Select the waypoints/itineraries you want to group using the eye icon (2). You will see that, when selected, they change colour and the itineraries appear on the map on the right.
3. When all the itineraries and waypoints you want to group are visible on the map, click on the Group button at the far right end of the list (3).
4. A window will open with the names of the points of waypoints/itineraries and the selected base itinerary. Review the options and complete the operation by clicking the Create Group button (4).
5. Once the group is created, a single route of the grouped itineraries and waypoints will appear on the main screen. You will see that the type icon has changed to group (5).
