Route Studio Features

Plan routes that feel intentional with profiles, elevation insights, GPX export, and Route Zones—the Premier feature that searches entire regions for the most scenic route.

Smart Route Builder

Pick a mode and distance, then generate loop or point-to-point routes instantly.

Surface + Traffic Preferences

Tune paved vs gravel and quiet vs busy roads to match your preferences.

Elevation Insights

Preview climbs, gradients, and elevation profiles before you go.

GPX Export

Export GPX files or send routes to your device for navigation.

Route Zones

Premier feature: draw a zone—from a neighborhood to an entire state—and let the engine run hundreds of thousands of simulations to surface the best route in that area.

Custom Profiles

Create multiple profiles for training, adventure, and recovery days.

Gravel Finder

The road-surface dataset that gives routing real precision

This dataset is years in the making and still expanding, built from hundreds of millions of road images, billions of supporting data points, and ensembles of vision and tabular AI models. It gives Route Studio the most reliable and comprehensive paved and unpaved road layer in existence, and a routing advantage mainstream platforms simply do not have.

Elevation Finder

Climb-first or flat-first routing

Set your route preference for maximum elevation gain or the flattest possible profile. Route Studio evaluates terrain data across the network to build routes that match your exact elevation goal.

Surface intelligence

Real surface data. Real routing advantage.

Sherpa LLC built this surface layer over years of work and it is still expanding, combining hundreds of millions of road images, billions of data points, and ensembles of vision and tabular AI models.

It gives Route Studio a proprietary routing advantage mainstream platforms do not have, keeping TT bikes, road bikes, cars, and motorcycles confidently on pavement, while sending gravel riders toward the rough, quiet roads worth chasing.

Under the hood This proprietary dataset directly shapes the route, keeping pavement-first profiles honest and sending gravel profiles toward the roads worth chasing

Scenic layer: route to the view

Another core dataset is our exclusive Scenic Roads data. We score every road supported by the route generation engine by looking from a typical person's viewpoint every 25 meters along each road to evaluate ridges, vegetation, open water, wide vistas, historic buildings, skylines, bridges, monuments, and blockers like warehouses and industrial plants.

Built from billions of data points, this layer helps Route Studio find roads that actually feel worth riding or driving.

Best Route in Area (Premier feature) is where this really shines: choose an area and find the most scenic route inside it.

Route Studio is built on Sherpa Map

This application is built on the same route-building software our team uses on Sherpa Map to craft every ride, run, and drive.

Riders, runners, and drivers love Route Studio

I used to ride the same loop. Now I set 30 miles and quiet roads and get a fresh route every week.

Eric Semianczuk

Head of Development

The preference sliders are legit. I can avoid busy roads and find more climbs without digging through maps.

David Semianczuk

Head of Design

Point-to-point plus GPX export saved my weekend trip. Export, load, go.

Sam Lyons

Head of Marketing

Route Studio makes training fun again. I reroll until it feels perfect.

Routes stay on your device. Location is optional and can be used on your phone to set a start point for generation and to follow the route while navigating.

The app works without location enabled, and we do not store your saved routes.

Export GPX files, KML files, and turn-by-turn PDF directions for use with navigation apps, bike computers, GPS units, and compatible devices.

You can also navigate right on your phone with Route Studio's own voiced turn-by-turn navigation.

Yes. Choose point-to-point, set your start and end pins, and Route Studio can build the shortest route between them or generate a route of the length you want.

It still honors your preferences, so the route can be optimized for surface, traffic, scenic value, and more.

Absolutely. Save multiple route preferences for training, adventure, or recovery days.

Switch route preferences in seconds before you generate.

Reroll to generate new variations or tweak sliders and regenerate.

Saved routes stay in your library, so you can always go back.
