Do you store my routes or location?

Routes stay on your device. Location is optional and only used to center the map for generation. You can disable location anytime; we do not store saved routes.

Can I generate point-to-point routes?

Yes. Choose loop or point-to-point and drop start and end pins if needed. Reroll as many times as you want to find the right route.

Generate the best route possible.

Avoid traffic, find curvy roads, and generate a route far superior to manual planning.
Dial in surface, traffic feel, and elevation gain preferences in seconds.

Built on advanced geospatial data and high-scale computation, Route Generator evaluates massive numbers of route possibilities to surface exceptional results. The outcome is a route experience that feels intentional and scenic while saving significant time versus manual planning.

Route Generator 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 Generator

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

Comprehensive surface data engine

By leveraging one of the most comprehensive road-surface databases available, Route Generator can reliably find gravel when you want it or avoid it when you do not. The result is better gravel routing control than any other program.

Elevation Finder

Climb-first or flat-first routing

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

Surface intelligence

Gravel confidence, derived at scale

We fuse satellite imagery with AI classifiers and long‑running data pipelines to estimate surface types and ride feel. It is another under‑the‑hood layer that shapes the perfect route.

Scenic layer: route to the view

One of our core datasets scores each segment for scenic value. Unobstructed lakes, open greens, and wide vistas rank higher, while dense trees or buildings nearby score lower. It gently nudges routes toward the views that feel worth the ride. Route Zones (Premier feature) are where this shines: pick an area and we rank countless candidates to surface the most scenic route inside that zone.

Riders and runners love Route Generator

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

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 Generator makes training fun again. I reroll until it feels perfect.

Routes stay on your device. Location is optional and used only to center the map for generation.

You can disable location anytime; we do not store your saved routes.

Export GPX and open it in your favorite navigation app or device.

Yes. Choose loop or point-to-point and drop start/end pins if needed.

Reroll as many times as you want to find the right route.

Anytime. Generation happens on demand and works for short workouts or long adventures.

For very long routes, give the solver a moment to search.

Absolutely. Save multiple profiles for training, adventure, or recovery days.

Switch profiles 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.
