Transcript
- 0:00In this video, we'll see how to plan and modify a route in MAPEAK.
- 0:04We're in the Mount Hood area.
- 0:05Our goal is to plan a hiking route from this parking area to several campsites and
- 0:10points of interest.
- 0:12First, select the pencil icon to open the route-planning tools.
- 0:16Next, choose the routing profile that matches your activity.
- 0:19MAPEAK supports hiking, cycling, off-road driving, and straight-line navigation.
- 0:25Straight-line mode is useful when crossing an area without mapped roads or trails.
- 0:30For this example, we'll select the hiking profile.
- 0:33Next, click the first campsite you want to reach.
- 0:36MAPEAK automatically calculates a complete route using the available hiking trails.
- 0:41If the suggested route is not exactly what you want, you can easily modify it.
- 0:46Click and drag any point along the route toward a different trail.
- 0:50MAPEAK recalculates the route immediately.
- 0:53Here, we're changing the route to avoid a steeper section and follow an alternative
- 0:58path.
- 0:58You can also extend your trip by adding more destinations.
- 1:02In this example, we'll continue to the Paradise Branch Falls lookout.
- 1:06We'll then extend the route again by adding another campsite.
- 1:09Each additional click extends the route and automatically updates all the
- 1:14calculations.
- 1:15The route summary displays the total distance, accumulated elevation gain,
- 1:20and accumulated descent.
- 1:21In this example, the completed route is approximately nine and a quarter miles.
- 1:26For a more detailed view, open the elevation panel.
- 1:29The blue line shows the elevation profile across the entire route.
- 1:33You can also display the slope profile.
- 1:35The black line shows how the gradient changes along the route.
- 1:39On the map, the route is color-coded according to slope.
- 1:43Green indicates flatter sections, while yellow, orange, and red indicate
- 1:48increasingly steep terrain.
- 1:50These tools make it easy to compare alternatives and understand the route before
- 1:54heading out.
- 1:55With MAPEAK, you can plan, adjust, and evaluate your route in just a few simple
- 2:01steps.
