# Merge

> Combine multiple routes, tracks, or segments into one

The Merge tool combines multiple files, tracks, or segments into a single unified route.

## Getting Started

To use the Merge tool, first [select](/docs/app/file-tree) multiple items:

* Multiple GPX files
* Multiple tracks within a file
* Multiple segments within a track

## Merge Options

### Connect the Traces

Use this option to create a single continuous trace from your selection. The endpoints of each trace will be connected in sequence, creating one unified route.

This is ideal when you have:

* A route split across multiple files that should be one continuous path
* Segments recorded separately that form a single journey

### Merge as Separate Items

Use this option to combine items while maintaining their individual structure:

* **Merging files** → Creates a single file containing all tracks from the selected files
* **Merging tracks** → Creates a single track containing all segments from the selected tracks

This is useful when you want to:

* Combine related routes into a single file for easier management
* Group segments that represent different days or sections of a trip

<Tip>
  The order of the merged items matches their selection order. Select items in the sequence you want them to appear in the final result.
