How to plan a group adventure with the collaborative route planner?
The collaborative route planner allows you to create, compare, and choose routes together on an interactive map. Whether you're planning a hiking trip, cycling route, or running session with friends, this tool helps you organize group activities efficiently. Each participant can draw their own route, compare distance, elevation gain, and estimated time, then vote to select the best option.
Create a collaborative route for group activities
Start by creating your collaborative route and entering key details: activity type (hiking, biking, running), date and time, difficulty level, meeting point, and maximum participants. This creates a shared base for organizing your group route.
Plan multiple routes on an interactive map
Use the interactive map to plan and visualize multiple routes at the same time. Each participant can draw and edit their own route directly on the map.
Draw and share your own route
Create your route using the built-in route planner. Distance, elevation gain, and estimated duration are calculated automatically, making it easier to compare different route options.
View multiple routes on one map
All routes are displayed together with different colors. A legend helps identify each participant's route, making it easy to analyze multiple options.
Compare routes (distance, elevation, time)
Compare routes using key data: total distance, estimated duration, and elevation gain. This helps you choose the best route based on group fitness level and preferences.
Vote for the best route
Each participant can vote for one or more routes. Votes help the group decide which route works best.
Choose the best date for your group
Suggest multiple dates and vote to find the most convenient option for everyone.
Invite friends or participants
Invite others via email or username. Participants can join the collaborative route and contribute their own ideas.
Manage a shared group route
The collaborative route acts as a shared workspace where everyone can contribute routes, vote, and discuss options.
Comment and discuss the route
Use the comment section to organize details: before the activity (planning, logistics) and after the activity (feedback, experience).
Share photos from your activity
Participants can upload photos before or after the event, helping document the experience.
Calculate driving time to the trailhead
Estimate travel time by car for each route to choose the most accessible option.
Export routes as GPX files
Download routes in GPX format to use on GPS devices or mobile apps.
Share your route with the group
Once your route is ready, share it so others can view and vote on it.
Real-time collaboration without refreshing
All updates (routes, comments, votes, photos) appear instantly for all participants.
Stay updated with notifications
Receive email notifications for: invitations, new routes or comments, final decisions, and reminders before the activity. Once the route and date are selected, all participants have access to the final details.
