### **Build a custom route**

1\. Open the itinerary and navigate to the **Route Builder** step.

2\. On the day where the route is missing, select **Self Drive (No Route)** from the mode dropdown.

5\. The **Custom Route Builder** will open.

2\. A straight default line will appear between the two points.

3\. Click the **vehicle icon** on that line.

4\. The Custom Route Builder will open.

5\. Click **Load Existing Route** to apply the saved custom route to the return journey.

6\. Click **Okay** to save.

7\. Both routes will be visible on the map - one for the outward journey and one for the return.

![build a missing route 8](https://knowledge.wetu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Content/Using%20Wetu%20Itineraries/Build%20a%20missing%20route/build%20a%20missing%20route%208.jpg?width=670&height=482&name=build%20a%20missing%20route%208.jpg)
