No stops yet

Click anywhere on the map, or search for a place above. Stops name themselves from what is nearby, snap to the road, and can be dragged to a better spot.

No stops on the map yet. Dropping stops is on: click the map to place one, or use the search field.

Turn on Compare for another variant above to see how it diverges from the active route, and by how much distance and time.

Saved routes

Kept in this browser, on this device — not in an account and not on a server. Saving keeps every route in the plan, its stops, rest times and schedule settings. Clearing your browsing data clears these too, so export a plan file for anything you cannot lose.

Name for this save

Nothing saved yet. A save is the quick way back to a trip you are still working on; Export below is the way to keep one for good.

Export

Saved to your computer. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing about this plan has ever left this browser.

Open in a navigator

The whole plan, in one link, for the app that will actually read the turns out to you. Individual legs go across from the Route tab — every navigator here can take a leg, which is why that is the one that is always offered.

Which navigator to open

Import

A Drop a Stop plan replaces everything that is open. GPX and GeoJSON have no routes in them, so their points are added to the end of Route A.

Stops

A stop you drop or drag moves to the nearest road, so its distances measure the drive rather than the crow’s flight. Turn this off when the offset is the point — a trailhead, a mooring, a gate on a private road. Stops already snapped stay where they are.

Navigate with

Which app the Navigate action opens

Drop a Stop plans the trip; it does not drive it. Navigate on any leg opens that leg in a real navigator, with live traffic and a voice. Google Maps also takes the whole plan in one link, up to 9 stops between the start and the end.

Route sheet

Produces a printable, black-on-white sheet with the totals and a full leg-by-leg table for the active route — the map, controls, and this sidebar all stay off the page.
