You can create and edit routes within ViewRanger. With a little practise and use
of the short cuts, this can be very effective.
There are two key tips when using keypad phones:
● When creating a route use the delete key C to delete the last placed
waypoint to undo a mistake.
● Use the 4 and 6 keys to select the previous and next waypoints, both when
reviewing and editing the route.
