I am aware of the existence of strava and komoot but I had some frustrations creating specific routes using their apps on mobile. Especially adding and dragging waypoints to a route was a focus point. In addition to exporting the route to a gpx file, the website allows to view the elevation profile and road type.
This is really interesting as I am looking for a route planner that I can use with my old Garmin Edge without having to do 3rd degree API connections in the background every time.
All I want is a route file that I can copy on the device using a file manager.
Can this tool work for me or do you know other bike computers you were able to use this with?
If your old Garmin is compatible with the Garmin app you can download the gpx file then open it with Garmin app and sync it to your Garmin edge. Not sure if moving the gpx file to your Garmin using a file manager will work.
This looks cool, but please add translations, I don't speak Dutch(?). :) One question: are you using OpenCycleMap? If not, it would be worth adding as it highlights a lot of the safer routes, such as Eurovelo and local bikeways.
Yes it's Dutch, will add translations soon. I like the OpenCycleMap suggestion. I am indeed looking for ways to highlight safe or nice roads by using OCM or maybe Strava segment data.
