The .rw route format - Quick reference

Notes:

●

Arguments highlighted in green are affected by UnitOfLength in [Options].

●

Arguments highlighted in blue are affected by UnitOfSpeed in [Options].

●

Each command takes one line, except for commands starting in an @ sign, which can be chained together on the same line.
