At this page you can create and edit a route.

There is always a currently selected point within the route. It is marked red on the chart and marked grey in the list on the left side. You can change the selected point by clicking a different point on the chart or in the list on the left side.
If you are editing the currently active route, the route info at the left side will display a red border (otherwise green).
Leaving the editor will take you back to the active route.

All changes become effective immediately - there is no undo.

At the left side you see a list of all the route's waypoints including courses and distances. On top of the list the number of waypoints, the overall route length and - if the route is active - the estimated ETA are displayed.
By clicking an already selected waypoint in the list you open an edit dialog to change its name or position.

EditRoute Dialog

Clicking on the route info on the left side or the Menu Button opens a dialog.

Within this dialog you have the following actions available:

Action	Description
New	Create a new route. You will be prompted for a name. The new route will be empty.
Load	Load an existing route. This bring up a select list with the routes being stored at the server if you are in connected mode (normal). If in disconnected mode you can load routes being stored locally. The dialog will also include an Upload button to load a route that you have available locally as a gpx file. It will upload this route to AvNav.
Download	Download the current route to store it locally on your device.
Rename	Give the route a new name.
Points	Open the Points dialog to invert, renumber or empty the list of route points.
Delete	Delete the current route from AvNav
SaveAs	Save a copy of the current route with a new name.
Cancel	Quit the dialog without saving
OK	Save your changes

Name Dialog

From the EditRoute dialog some actions will bring up a name dialog to select a new name for a route.

If the selected name already exists you can use the "Propose" action to let the system propose a new name that currently does not exist.

Points Dialog

The "Points" action in the EditRoute dialog will bring up the Points dialog.

You can empty, invert or renumber the list of points. By clicking on a point in the list a dialog will be brought up to edit this point (e.g. changing the name).

Route Point Buttons

Clicking the bottom left panel activates some additional buttons.

Using those buttons you can move between the points in the route or you can edit the selected waypoint.
Clicking the bottom right panel centers the chart at the boat's position.

Using the Feature Info

When you tap on the map or click the CenterAction button you will get the list of features at this point.
You will get some additional actions for using it in editing the route:

Action	Description
Before	Insert the point that you clicked before the currently selected (red) route point
After	Insert the point that you clicked after the currently selected (red) route point
Move	Move the currently selected (red) route point to the point that you clicked
Cancel	Close the list

Using this dialog you can add points to the route by clicking on the map and using Before/After.

If there is a route in the list and you click on it you get more dedicated actions.

The info shows the nearest point of the overlay route and offers a couple of actions:

Action	Description
Before	Insert the shown point from the overlay route before your currently selected (red) route point
After	Insert the shown point from the overlay route after your currently selected (red) route point
RtBefore	Insert the complete overlay route starting at the shown point before your currently selected (red) route point
RtAfter	Insert the complete overlay route starting at the shown point after your currently selected (red) route point
Hide	Hide the overlay route
Cancel	Close the dialog

Using this Feature Info you could create routes that contain your favorite way points, add them as overlay and use them to insert way points into routes that you create.
Hint: To only display the points of a route just set the line width of the overlay to 0.

Connected and Disconnected Mode

If you switch off the ConnectedMode on the mainpage (showing a disconnect icon in the title) this basically means you cannot change items that are stored on the server. This also includes routes. You still can create new routes or modify routes that you created while being disconnected.
The intention is to give you the option to play with alternative routes (including activating them) without interfering with the server.
When you leave the disconnected mode and a (different) route is active on the server this will also become locally.

The EditRoute dialog will show you the information whether a route is stored on the server and if you currently can write the route.
If you try to edit a route that is stored on the server while in disconnected mode you will get a warning.

In this case just click "OK" (will bring up the EditRoute dialog) and e.g. create a copy using "Save As".
By default the "Load" action in the EditRoute dialog will only provide you the list of routes you currently can write (but you could also load a read only route to display it).

When you created a route in disconnected mode it will be stored locally in your Browser. To copy it to the server return to connected mode,  open the local route in the route editor and make a change - this will automatically push the route to the server.

If you start a route in disconnected mode small disconnect icons will be shown in various widgets. The content of those widgets in this case is only valid for your local display and e.g. does not affect the NMEA data (like RMB/APB) that the server will send.
