        @cossutah1234 Hello, users cannot add hiking routes directly into the map. Our map provider is OpenStreetMap.org, all the changes need to be done directly on their site.

          @korina Hello,

          Thank you. You already repeated this several times in other answers. However, I did not asked about editing a map but adding a COLOURED hiking route. THis cannot be done by users? But who else hikes on those trails?

          Thanks again for answering.

            If it is about adding personal "coloured route":

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              Thank you very much. I did upload a route but it does not seem to be visible for the wider community. What I want is to contribute to the very useful coloured trail routes that are only visible in windy maps, so it is something specifically about this map and not the openstreetmap project.
              So I would be interested to have my coloured route visible to all users of windy maps

                I'm not sure it would be easy to implement. It would require at least a validation committee, in order to avoid displaying on maps too much noisy/overlaping (or even false) hiking routes; e.g. this web site, where users posted as "hicking routes" pratically all streets in Paris urban area...

                ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                  @cossutah1234 Hello, your post was in Windy Maps category and Windy Maps is a different app than Windy.com.
