8. Collect starred places

When you plan trips it can be useful to store interesting places without adding them to your route right away. This is what Starred Places are for in Roadie. To save a place in your Starred Places just tap 'Star' in the place detail view on the map. It will be added to your list of Starred Places which you can view by tapping the star button in the top right corner. Starred places appear as star icons on your map, too.

9. Group your routes into sections

You can group your route into sections. For example, you can divide your route into days or travel segments. Tap 'Add route section' in the list view of your route. Then give your section a name and tap 'Save'. The section will be appended to the end of your trip. You can drag it up to include some of your route stops in it.
