No, they cannot be treated as airways. Normally people plan an approximation along them, knowing that the actual flying will of course be by eye, and not straight lines, in such conditions.

Great, thank you for that explanation! :o)

Hey folks,
It's Tuesday evening and I am planning a flight from Zell am See (LOWZ) to Salzburg (LOWS) along GAFOR Route LO56 on Friday afternoon.
The GAFOR route is not visible on my Android device or my Windows 10 PC.
The current version of the manual states "GAFOR forecasts can be switched on or off in the Weather menu on your tablet or phone, and in the Mapping menu on your PC"
Is this because I am planning so far in advance? Is it because it is after dark here? I cannot for the life of me find the GAFOR routes in either version of the software I have up and running this evening.
Any advice very gratefully received!
Thanks!
