How to find route from point A to point B (sopuli.xyz)

This might be a stupid question.

I cannot seem to figure out how to map a route between two addresses. It always shows the route from where I am currently, or to my location.

How does one find the route between two addresses without being in one of them?

I end up having to use google maps for this. I need to do this kind of route searches all the time.

Otherwise, I love the app. Thanks to all contributors foe the amazing work!

Edit: just have to start pressing "Route from", I'm not sure how I missed that, was sure I tried it. Anyways, thanks everyone!

Next up, I have to figure how to add a waypoint...

Start with "Route from" instead of "Route to".

Thank you! Not sure how I missed that!

You can do it the opposite as well

What I miss with CoMaps is the height map while the navigation is active. It shows it during the route planner, I want to see it while traveling as well.

Especially important for 'people powered' travel, but also for fuel efficiency.

Click on a point, select "Route from" then click destination point, then route to.

Edit: Order of last 2 operations.
