Guides on the Mac

Choose Guides in the sidebar. A guide opens with its map on one side and every stop on the other, so you can read it all before you create the trip.

Good to know

It’s your trip now: move, delete or add anything. The guide stays as it was.

Guides marked PRO come with Trovelo Pro.
