# Adding a route to your mission
Learn how to add and edit a flight route for your mission that is displayed to the players on both the map and aircraft systems.
A route is a flight plan that can guide the player through the mission, displayed both on the in-game map and onboard aircraft systems.
### Adding a Route
Routes guide the player through the mission, providing waypoints on the in-game map and aircraft systems.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Add the first waypoint
Click the map and select Route from the object popup
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Use the route editing mode to add, move or delete waypoints
With the quick buttons next to the waypoint, you can:
1. Move the waypoint
2. Add a waypoint before
3. Add a waypoint after
To open the waypoint details, click on the waypoint. Here you can:
1. Move the waypoint
2. Name the waypoint. In contrast to the names of Map Objects, this name will be displayed to the player during the mission.
3. Delete the waypoint
4. Set the altitude (optional)
5. Set the ICAO (optional). If the waypoint is an airport.
6. Set the waypoint type:
* User: Any custom waypoint
* Airport: If the waypoint is a specific airport. Also set the ICAO in this case.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Finish route editing
Route editing mode
Regular route display
To finish, click anywhere outside the route. Re-enter editing mode by clicking the route again.
When editing the route, the other map objects are hidden. When you exit route editing, the map objects will appear again, on top of the route.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Only one route can be active and it is static (set at mission start and cannot change during the mission).
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.miltechsimulations.com/miltech-mission-hub/guides/adding-a-route-to-your-mission.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
