If there’s no depth data in your area or if you want to plot your own route, then you can use Argo’s manual routing option. If you want Argo to create a route for you, use autoroute.
Press Navigate Button
Found in the top menu. Then tap the Manual Route button 
.
You can also tap any place on the map or do a long press & hold and then choose “Create Route” . After selecting a starting point, it will create an autoroute but you can switch to manual routing.
If there is no way to autoroute based on selected start and destination, you will get a suggestion to use manual routing.
Note: If you are on a tablet you will not see a Navigate button. Simply tap the Autoroute button.
Switch to Manual Routing (temporarily disabled)
If you choose Create Route after tapping on an icon on the map or doing a press & hold, it will default to autoroute mode. To switch to manual routing, use the toggle at the bottom left with options 
and 
. Make sure that the option with the “M” is toggled on (colored blue). The app will remain in the mode last used, but you can change it at any time.

Add Your Start Point
Set your start point by tapping the desired location on the map. You can also tap the input field at top to Search for a place or select from Home Port 
, Search History 
, Favorite Places 
, Search Categories, Choose on Map 
or Enter Coordinates 
.
You can also optionally set your end point at this time using the destination input field.
Add and Edit Waypoints
Tap the map to add additional points to your route. A straight line will be drawn from point to point.
To change the location of an interim point (or start and destination) you first need to select that point by tapping the field at the top or the point on the map. The field and icon will display a blue border indicating it is selected. The icon will also be larger. Then tap the map or use a search option to move the point. You can also press & hold the point and then drag it to a new location.
Remove Waypoints
If you want to remove a point tap the 
icon in the bottom left-hand corner. You can only remove one point at a time, starting with the most recently added point.
To remove all of the points tap the 
icon.
Complete the Route
Once you’ve added all the points press “Complete Route.” If you did not manually set your end point, Argo will use your last point as an end point.
Explore Map Button
Once the route is created, the Explore Map button sets the route so additional taps on the map do not change the start or destination points. We added this for two reasons:
1. Allows you to tap on map icons along the route such as hazard pins or bridge warning icons before saving the route or starting the voyage.
2. Will allow for adding waypoints to the route (feature coming soon).
By tapping Edit Route or the pencil in the upper right you can continue to adjust the route’s start and destination points.
Save the Route
If you don’t want to take a voyage right now, you can save the route to your Captain’s Log to take later. Press the “Save” button, add a title and a description for the route, then it’ll be added to your Captain’s Log.
As a Premium user, you will also have options here to permanently display the route on the map (thin black line) or download it to your device for offline use.
Start the Voyage
If you want to take the voyage, press 
. For more details on taking a voyage check out the Voyage tutorial. If you don’t want to save the route to your Captain’s Log, tap the back arrow in the upper left or the “X” in the lower right to go back to the main map.
