Quick guide: recommended first test
Import a GPX track with Ctrl+X.
- Select a point on the map: when selected, it turns yellow.
- Press W to create a note.
- Set the initial road type by clicking the white circle on the arrow.
- To change the road surface in a later note, click the circle of the note you want to edit.
- The main commands are used mostly from the keyboard, not from the menu.
To use Roadbook Editor properly, it is also useful to read the essential instructions about junctions, CAP, roundabouts and note logic
(in the program: Instructions menu).
If you think it is not working…
Warning: if you cannot insert a point or a note, in most cases it is not a malfunction. Many main functions use keyboard shortcuts and follow a precise sequence.
Roadbook Editor – Create digital roadbooks from GPX tracks
Welcome to Roadbook Editor, a tool designed to help organizers create collaborative, non-competitive off-road events, giving proper value to the role of the co-driver.
The roadbooks created can be used with Roadbook Reader, the dedicated digital navigation app.
- Focus on navigation: unlike speed-based competitions, roadbook-system celebrates technical skill and the teamwork between driver and navigator, making the navigator a key part of successfully completing the route.
- Promotion of 4x4 events and rallies: it works as a platform for organizers and enthusiasts, helping promote events where adventure and sharing are more important than the ranking.
- Philosophy: it promotes a 4x4 approach based on enjoyment, discovery of the territory and safety, far from the extremes of the stopwatch.
The roadbooks created can be used with Roadbook Reader, the dedicated digital navigation app.
