Switch between these routing modes to change what kinds of roads or paths new segments snap to:
- Use foot mode to plan walking or running routes, it snaps to the shortest roads, paths, or trails and lets you go either direction on one-way roads
- Use bike mode to plan road biking routes, it snaps to the best paved roads for road biking and enforces one-way roads - for mountain biking or cyclocross, use foot mode instead
- Use car mode to plan driving outes, it snaps to the fastest roads for driving and enforces one-way roads but not turn restrictions
- Use manual routing mode to go off road, it draws manual paths where there are no roads or trails
