 ====== How to automatically draw a path along roads? ======

-The application allows you to automatically draw a path between two points that will follow the shortest way along existing roads. This feature uses an online service, so require an Internet data access to work (either WiFi or mobile network).

-To draw a path:
+To create an auto-routing:
   * Move the map center icon over the start location and tap it {{:icon_01.png?nolink}};
-  * Select ''"**Create a landmark**"'' {{:icon_02.png?nolink}};
+  * Tap ''"**Tools...**"'' {{:icon_02.png?nolink}};
   * Choose ''"**Auto-routing**"'' {{:icon_03.png?nolink}};
-  * If you want, choose a name for your path, and tap ''"**Ok**"'' {{:icon_04.png?nolink}}.
+  * If you want, choose a name for your path and the location where it's saved, and tap ''"**Ok**"'' {{:icon_04.png?nolink}}.

-  * If you need, you can change the transportation mode by tapping on the ''"**Transportation mode**"'' {{:icon_05.png?nolink}} icon;
+By default, the transportation mode is by car, so the path will only follows roads. In order to select another transportation mode, tap the transportation mode icon {{:icon_05.png?nolink}}, and choose ''"**Walking**"'' for example. Using this mode, the path may also follow hiking trails.
-  * Move the map center icon over the destination location {{:icon_06.png?nolink}} and tap ''"**Location**"'' {{:icon_07.png?nolink}} to start the computation of the path between the start and destination locations.
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} Depending the path length and server load, this computation can take few seconds. The auto-routing service may have disruption and not working properly during some periods, in this case you'll see a straight line between the start and destination locations. In this case, please try again later.

 Once the path has been computed, it's displayed on the map.

-If you want, you can move the map center again over a new location and tap ''"**Location**"'' {{:icon_08.png?nolink}} to compute another path between the last two chosen locations.
