Search route result does not appear in manage tracks list

[VAHiker]

I have been able to successfully "search route" between two points using the online server. The route appears on the screen and I can see the route statistics, but it doesn't appear in the manage tracks list like a "create" route does. In my understanding of the GUI it should. There doesn't appear to be any way to save the route for later use when I'm not connected to the internet.

once the route is displayed on the map, you see a pin (red/green) at the starting point. Shortly tap on it and you see a menue, where you can export the route.

Appears in directory ./oruxmaps/tracklogs/, with date and time as part of the filename.

Thanks, that works. Hopefully having this method documented in the forum will help others find this quickly by searching. I did try the touch and hold, but not on the starting point. That's the trick. So much fun! My suggestion for a more intuitive method to get it into the track list would be to add a Save option to the route menu if the existing route on the map is not in the database yet. But knowing about the starting point extra menu options is good.

It is actually mentioned on page 32 of the english manual

"If you tap the first point of a track/route, you will find..."

Thanks again. RTFM:-) I still think that a Save option would be nice rather than having to export and import to get it into the database.
