The Bulk Trail Editor tool allows you, as an admin, to make GPS edits to multiple trails at once. You can also save changes to trail edits in bulk.
This editor is updated from the older version to now use Mapbox, which has expanded the area where you can access, view, and edit trails. We've also implemented new trail editor features, such as snap-to-trail, polygon map-drawing that removes the trail points within the polygon, highlighting where trails are not connected, and the ability to crop trails.
How to Access the Bulk Trail Editor
- As an admin, you can access the bulk trail editor tool by going to the 'Admin' tab under a region.
- Click on 'Bulk trail editor.'
- This will pull up the bulk trail editor for the region.
Alternatively, you can also go to the region, and scroll down to the bottom of the page. If you are an admin, you will see 'Bulk Trail Editor,' which will pull up the region and allow you to edit and adjust trails within the region.
