A Three-way Process

Adding a route to your Map is a three-way process: creating a route map, adding routes to the route map, and customizing your routes by adding Waypoints.

Creating a Route Map

1. Log in to your WP admin site and navigate to Route Maps within the PrettyRoutes plugin.
2. Click 'Add New' and enter your preferred title into the 'Add title' field.
3. In the 'Center Mode' field, choose either Auto or Manual. This portion allows you to control how the map is viewed. Choose 'Manual' to set the default zoom level and location in the map, or 'Auto' to automatically zoom the map to feature all the routes added to the map.
4. In the Map Center field, enter a location in the 'Locate Address on the map' field (NOTE: This applies only if 'Manual' center mode was chosen).
5. Click 'Publish' to save your route map.

Adding Routes to a Route Map

2. Click 'Add New' and enter your preferred title into the 'Add title' field.
3. Choose the Route Map where the Route needs to be added. 
4. Choose either 'Road' or 'Offroad' for Type. 
5. Specify Route Color. Click on the then choose the required color for this Route.
6. Enter the 'From' and 'To' locations in the appropriate fields. Ensure to press Enter upon inserting the address (Map Location).

7. Scroll down to the bottom of the page where you can choose to display pinpoint, enable tooltip, and close tooltip either manually or automatically for the 'From' and 'To' locations. 

8. The next two fields 'Tooltip' and 'Pin Image', allows you to enter a description and include an image for the Route.
9. Click 'Publish' to save your route. 

To create more routes on the same map, simply repeat the above steps.

Adding Waypoints to a Route

1. Navigate to Routes Within the PrettyRoutes plugin, then click Edit, to add a Waypoint.

2. Scroll down to the Route section of the page, then click on the (+) button to add a new field. To show the Waypoint address field (Via 1), enter the destination address on the last field (or cut and paste). Now you'll be able to enter your Waypoint address in the middle field. Please refer to screenshot below:

3. Add the first waypoint address in the 'Via 1' field, then press Enter. Repeat the process to add more waypoints.  

4. Waypoints can also be added by directly locating the addresses on the map. To do so, locate the address on the map, then double-click the location until a tooltip appears.  

5. You can modify the To, From and Waypoint addresses by freely moving the tooltips from one location to another within the map. Doing so will automatically adjust the saved locations in the address field.   

6. Click Update to save your changes.
