Maps with Routes

\n

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

\n

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.

\n

Example 2 - a walking route from a GPX file

\n

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:

\n\n

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.
