As an event organizer, you can assign specific routes to ticket types to provide detailed course information to participants.
Creating Routes
- Navigate to your Organizer Dashboard
- Go to "Route Library" or "Create Virtual Route"
- Upload a GPX file or draw a route on the map
- Add route details: name, description, difficulty
- The system automatically calculates distance and elevation
- Save the route to your library
Canvas Controls for Custom Routes
When drawing a custom virtual route on the canvas, you have several tools and navigation options:
- Draw Tool: Click to add points along your route path
- Move Tool: Click and drag individual points to adjust the route
- Calibrate Tool: Set a real-world distance reference for accurate measurements
- Pan/Navigate: Hold the Spacebar to pan around the canvas (drag while holding Space)
- Zoom: Use mouse wheel to zoom in/out, or use the zoom controls in the toolbar
- Grid Snap: Toggle grid snapping for precise point placement
- Undo/Redo: Use the history controls in the toolbar or Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y keyboard shortcuts
- Preview: Test the route animation to see how participants will experience it
Assigning Routes to Tickets
- When creating or editing an event, go to the Ticket Types section
- For each ticket type, find the "Route Assignment" section
- Click "Select Route from Library"
- Choose from your saved routes
- The distance and elevation will be automatically applied
- You can assign different routes to different ticket types (e.g., 10K vs Marathon)

Best Practices
