- Use the Selection tool to move the map and select points
- Select a track point to add new points after it
- Delete unwanted points by selecting them (Shift + drag) and using the context menu

Tips:
- Always work with a high zoom level to avoid positioning errors
- Add a few points at a time to keep control of the track
- Be precise when drawing curves
- Keep straight sections clean by removing unnecessary points
- If you make many changes, save the GPX file frequently to avoid losing your work
