Q: Triathlon

Hi
1) Is possible to make routes for triathlon? A segment for swimming, running and biking ? I see you have only plane, car, bike and walk
2) can I change the routeline from yellow to different colours? For example I my triathlon case different color for swimming, running and biking
3) Do I need gps data to make a route? Is it possible to map out a route in advance ?
Thank you

A: Hi there, here we go:

1) Yes, that's possible. AvoMap uses segments to build routes, and each segment can be styled individually. That means you can split your triathlon into swimming, biking, and running — and customize each one.

2) Yes! You can change the color of each route segment. For example, use blue for swimming, red for running, and green for biking — whatever fits best for you.

3) Yes and no. AvoMap’s editor allows you to create routes, but it currently snaps to existing roads and paths. Creating routes over water isn’t supported yet, but it’s on the roadmap.
For now, I recommend using gpx.studio — a free web-based editor that lets you draw custom routes anywhere, even over water. Once you're done you can export the GPX file and then import it into AvoMap to create a video out of it.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
