Maps with Routes

This example page shows the two map row types that work together to present a walk: a Location row that pins a start point, and a Map row that draws a walking route from a GPX file. For the complete reference covering every setting, see GPX Route Maps.

Example 1 - a start location

A Location row marks a single place. Here it is the start of the walk at Dunton Green, Sevenoaks. Enter a postcode or place and the row resolves it to coordinates and shows the Ordnance Survey grid reference (6, 8 and 10 figure) and an optional what3words address. On its own it is useful for "where we meet" panels; combined with a map row below it, it becomes the route's start marker.

Example 2 - a walking route from a GPX file

A Map row draws one or more routes loaded from GPX files. This one shows the Sevenoaks circular on Ordnance Survey tiles. Two things to note:

• Auto-fit bounds frames the map to the whole route, so you do not have to set the centre and zoom by hand.
• Use location from page is switched on, so the start marker is taken straight from the Location row above rather than entered twice. Change the location once and both update together.

To build your own: add a Map row, click Add Route, upload a GPX file (or a GeoJSON/ESRI zip, which is converted automatically), give it a name and colour, and switch on auto-fit bounds.
