Iโ€™ve been working on a #travel #mapping tool this year that allows me to build routes for social sharing that includes water segments. Thatโ€™s something that can not be done on Google Maps. Here is next monthโ€™s trip.

Trail idea โ†’ route in minutes. ๐Ÿฅพ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธโœจ

With Locus Map, fast route planning means less time fiddling and more time hiking. Sketch your loop, check distance + elevation, adjust on the fly โ€” then hit the trail with confidence. โ›ฐ๏ธ

Where are you heading this weekend? ๐Ÿ‘‡

But also a sad note to this: When I import one of those annotated GPX files into Garmin via Connect, it only picks up the route points that are right on the course, not those with a little distance.

I also can't manually add a course point in the Connect web app that is not directly on the course.

If anyone is aware of a workaround, that would be great ๐Ÿ™‚

I found a lovely tool for planning long-distance cycling or walking routes, where you need to resupply along the route:

https://onroutemap.de/en/

You upload your GPX route, set a distance you're willing to go from it, and get a map with gas stations, supermarkets, cafes, bakeries, etc. on it as POI. You can then select favorites, and export them as GPX again, to use when riding or walking.

OnRouteMap | Find POIs along your route

OnRouteMap: Find supermarkets, gas stations, drinking water, accommodation and more along your GPX route. Free, no ads, no tracking. For cyclists, hikers and runners.

Planning season is here.
Our Locus Map Web Planner is now faster and smoother thanks to a new map engine (MapLibre). Less waiting, fewer hiccups โ€” more time shaping the perfect route.

Try it and tell us: do you feel the difference? Drop a comment!

This example shows a #Vegrรบn map of the Bucharest to Budapest river cruise we will go on this year. It doesn't show the flights, but the yellow is bus routes and the blue is river routes. So I'm building a mapping platform that lets you stitch together every leg of your tripโ€”flights, trains, buses, ferries, car rentals, bike rides, and hikesโ€”on a single, beautiful, interactive map. #TravelMap #RoutePlanning #EuropeTrip #TravelDestinations

That's a nice concept for a online tool (still in alpha stage if I get it right). You can load a gpx file, input how far you're willing to go off route, and then it shows all relevant POIs that are known through open street map. The idea is that you can reexport the track with the POIs included.
