How to create and record your trail on Wikiloc
Record a new trail
- Go to the "Record Trail" tab
- Click on Start recording
- Start recording your trail:
- You can create Waypoints as you move forward
- To Pause the route, press on the red square
- It is helpful if you want to cut a part of a trail, for example, when you need to deviate for just a moment but do not want it to appear on the route.
- If you need to rest, there is no need to hit the pause button, as the App already considers this and calculates the total time and the real-time movement for your trail. More information
Finish your trail by pressing the red square. You have the option to Finish or Resume your trail.
Click on Finish.
- Fill out the trail information sheet (Name, Description, Activity, Trail Buddies, Difficulty, and Photos), choose whether to upload it as "public" or "private" or if you want to save it as a draft and save the trail.
Record a trail you are following
You can also save your version at the end when following a trail.
