Is it possible to plan a walking route that doesn't rely on following roads

Is it possible to plan a walking route that doesn't force you to stick to roads, effectively cutting across parks, fields, following footpaths etc

@David-Rudgley The only method I can think of is setting every waypoint to "Offroad/Skip" via the waypoint menu.
I am not able to predict how your navigation will work when all waypoints are Offroad but okay, that is not your question :).

It was more related to being able to plan a walking route and to get an idea of distance and timing and to look at the Route Track whilst on the walk to see if I'm deviating off course... I appreciate that my needs might go beyond the capabilities of the app, it's not a deal breaker, just my curiosity is it possible?

@David-Rudgley Maybe you could try this option in the toolkit

@David-Rudgley If you choose walking as the type of route (instead of driving or cycling) when you first create a new route. Then choose Default (OpenStreetMap) as your planning map and use the OpenStreetMap overlay. With this map overlay you can see footpaths when you fully zoom in. Then place your route points on the footpath.
