GPX, Garmin FIT & KML
85+ POI categories
- Water, cafés, fuel, campsites and shelter along the line, with opening hours, UK food hygiene ratings and fuel prices where they exist.
- Plan Stops picks where to break for the kind of trip you are on, and how often you want to stop.
- Times that are yours: Pace Maker learns your speed on climbs from your own rides, and Loaded touring routes a heavy bike round stiles, gates and fords.
- Take it with you: a FIT with course points for Garmin, a GPX with road-name turn cues that Cruiser and Locus read out, or the On-the-go phone app.
- The climbs, the hazards on the way, the wind, and the weather that date usually has.

Any in, all out: your route keeps its colours, icons and turns from app to app
