Enhance Your Journey Mapping Experience
- Transport Type: Choose your mode of transport-whether it’s walking, cycling, sailing, or something else-to organize your journey. You can switch it up anytime using the Leg Menu.
- Sections/Legs: Break your journey into sections called “legs” to keep everything organized, especially on multi-day trips or when your adventure has different segments.
