Build a route in ATAK as you normally would, then share it across the LoRa mesh. It arrives on every connected client as a native ATAK route — so the plan is on everyone's map, off-grid.
Routes use the same compact, airtime-aware approach as markers, shapes and range lines. They're sent deliberately and kept lean, so a shared route coexists with positions and the rest of your traffic on a finite channel.
Like other transactional objects, a shared route uses acknowledgement-based delivery — so you can see when teammates have actually received it, not just that a packet left the radio.
Routes can be long and highly detailed, so LANCE compresses them to fit the mesh — and when a route is too dense for the budget, it's simplified against a bounded error tolerance rather than truncated. That guarantees the shared route never deviates from your original by more than a known, controlled margin, so what arrives still faithfully follows the line you drew. Your chosen route colour is carried along with it.
