Create your own GPX Cycle Route

The JustGoRide Route Creator allows you to plot your very own cycle route and save it to the site. You can then share your new cycle route with your riding friends and even download it in the GPX format so that you can use it with any supporting GPS device. This simple interface allows you to mark track points onto an Ordnance Survey Map so that you can hunt out new country lanes or bridleways and carve out a new trail allowing you to explore more of the British countryside. So whether you are hunting out new places to go mountain biking or looking for some challenging hills to point you road bike up, this is the place to create your ideal cycle route!

Getting Started
The Route Creation Tool allows you to plot a route and save it to the site. Using UK Ordnance Survey Maps you can easily indentify trails and put together a new and exciting route.

To get started simply search for the area in which you want to explore and start plotting. There is a quick guide to how the Route Creation Tool's functions work to the right.

This feature is currently limited to the bounds of the available OS Maps. Future expansion of the service using Google maps is planned to allow global route creation.

Basic Trail Types
The following table can be used as a guide to the most common trail types. Make sure that you are familiar with the different types and remember to avoid footpaths and keep to public land.

	Footpaths
	Bridleways
	Restricted byway Not for use by mechanically powered vehicles.
	Open byway Open to all traffic
	Other public access
	National Trail

	Draw One of the main tools, the draw function allows you to plot new points onto the map. Every time a new point is plotted a line is drawn to link the two points. You can also move the points around by clicking and dragging them.
	Edit The edit function turns off the ability to plot new points in order to concentrate on refining the route that you have just created. You can move and delete existing points by clicking on them and also add new points by clicking on the route line between two existing points.
	Undo The undo function works exactly how you would expect it to. Each time you make a change to your route it is logged enabling you to undo each and every change right back to your first click.
	Upload and Edit So you already have a route saved as a GPX file but it just isn't quite right. What can you do about it? Well, how about this mode which allows you to upload a specified file onto the map and edit it to your heart's content!
	Start Again If everything is all wrong and you just can't cope anymore, just hit this button for a nice clean map so that you can start a fresh!
	Save Once you have exhausted your creative juices and your creation is complete, you can save it to the site by using the save function. This will direct you through the usual upload process and will verify that the route doesn't already exist before asking you to name it and give a brief description of your route. Remember that you can always mark the route as private if you want to keep it to yourself!
