How to create a GPX file
- Search for your starting point or zoom in on the map. The marked hiking trails overlay helps with planning.
- Choose the routing: hiking, mountain hiking, bicycle, road bike, mountain bike, gravel – or straight line.
- Tap the map to set the start and further points. The route follows the trails automatically.
- Drag points to move them, click them to delete, or close the loop with “Back to start”.
- Name your tour and download it as GPX, as a FIT course for Garmin or as KML.
Where do the routes come from?
Routing is done by BRouter, an open-source route planner based on OpenStreetMap. Only the clicked coordinates are sent to brouter.de. Straight-line sections get their elevations from a digital terrain model.
Frequently asked questions
Is the route planner free?
Yes, completely free and without an account.
Can I transfer the route to my Garmin?
