This should be very handy for both plotting with overlaps and for following the route. There have been occasions when my GPS app wasn't sure which way I was supposed to be going.
I'll give it a go when the weather improves ...
That's better

Note: some arrows and the red line are from a Trace, they confuse the images somewhat but you get the point!
Excellent, thank you very much for such a fast response!!
As an example, image on left is the original Shift (see below), middle is applying one shift left, one shift right, right is aniother right shift. As you say, very flexible!

I agree, the mobile addition would not really be appropriate.
Further to the suggestions below, we've amended this new feature so that you can just shift part of a route if you like rather than the whole route. This provides significantly more flexibility when using this tool, allowing you to shift different sections, by different amounts, in different directions, at different times!
Please note though, that we've only added this additional option to the desktop site, as we think this level of complexity would be too fiddly to use on a mobile device.
Understood. I think the "selection" update would meet most requirements!
Thanks for the feedback. We'll look into adding an option to apply the route shift to just a selected section of the route. This should help cater for repeated loops and any other scenario where you want to apply the route shift differently to different secttions. This wouldn't make it possible to apply different colours to different sections of the route though I'm afraid.
Ref. another post, https://www.plotaroute.com/posts/1328/D/1
If the "select part of the route" is implemented, then it would also be possible to "colour each loop differently". :)
and still be easy to use, just like the "Delete Section" process ...... select start/end then apply the Shift tool .....
"As always, it's a difficult balance between sophistication and ease of use."
Agreed: but it would the bees knees!
