Segments and WaypointsLook at your route-start/finish/which way do you want to go?
Divide it into segments each must start and finish at an easy to recognise landmark (called a waypoint)
Segments should not be too long
Each segment should be more or less a straight line, and follow a single feature.
Now enter the waypoints with the tool onto your map screen.
