Routes You Can Plot
Training routes — plot a run or ride to an exact distance, then plan pace and time.
Travel routes — plot a road trip with multiple stops and total the mileage.
Walking routes — plot a tour or commute on foot; see walking directions.
Custom paths — plot fences, trails or boundaries that no road map includes.
Plot, Then Save and Share
Once you’ve plotted your route, save it as a shareable link and send it to anyone — they’ll see the exact route and distance on a map, no app needed. Handy for sharing a meeting point, a race course, or a group ride.
Plot a Route on Real Roads or Off the Grid
Plot point-to-point in a straight line for as-the-crow-flies distance, or follow roads and trails for true travel distance. Off-road? It doubles as a hiking distance calculator.
