An outline should become visible, along\nwith a small tools menu on the map and a sidebar showing more information\nabout the road.</p>\n<h3>Modifying</h3>\n<p>Often you'll see roads that aren't aligned to the imagery behind them\nor a GPS track.</p>\n<p>First click on the road you want to change. This will highlight it and show\n'control points along it' that you can drag to better locations.
