Thank you very much for the translation efforts.

Generally yes.

I think of a Track as a path I've already been on, whereas a Route is a path 
I'm planning to take.

It comes from the fact that they are separate types in the GPX Specification[1]
and many (all?) GPS devices handle each type separately as well.

For example when I upload routes to my Garmin Etrex, I can follow the route via 
a navigation mode; which gives a direction and estimated time of arrival at the 
next point.
This can not be done with Tracks.
(Although there is a special 'TracBack' mode to follow a track but it's 
somewhat different).

Perhaps 'cesta'[2] would be alright?

Or maybe go for more words if necessary with an interpretation of 'Planned 
Track' or similar instead.
