Route export

Take the route with you.

A great road shouldn't be locked inside one app. Export any route as a GPX file for your Garmin, GoPro, Strava or Gaia — or open it in Google Maps and drive it right now.

A GPX file that other software actually accepts

The file is GPX 1.1 with your named stops as waypoints and the road itself as a track, written at six decimal places — about 11 cm. It was validated against the official GPX 1.1 schema from topografix.com rather than just eyeballed, because well-formed XML and a file a Garmin will open are not the same thing. Share it wherever you like: Files, AirDrop, email, or straight into another app.

Or just open it in Google Maps

One tap builds a Google Maps directions link for the route and opens it — in the Google Maps app if you have it, in the browser if you don't. Google caps a directions link at ten stops, so a longer route is thinned evenly rather than cut short, and the app tells you it simplified it.

  • Start and finish are always kept exactly — truncating would change where the drive ends
  • Intermediate stops are thinned evenly so the shape of the route survives
  • Works whether or not the Google Maps app is installed

Recorded drives too

Export isn't limited to routes somebody planned. A drive you recorded has a real driven line, and that exports as a track as well — so the road you actually took, corner for corner, is the thing you hand to your other device.

Common questions

What's in the GPX file?

Named waypoints for each checkpoint, and a track for the road itself, in GPX 1.1 at six decimal places. Validated against the official GPX 1.1 schema.

Why does Google Maps only get some of my stops?

Google limits a directions link to ten stops. Longer routes are thinned evenly, always keeping the exact start and finish, and the app says it simplified the route so you're not surprised.

Can I export a drive I recorded, not just a planned route?

Yes. A recorded drive exports its actual driven line as a GPX track.
