Share a Route You’ve Already Planned
If you’ve already planned your ride using a GPS device, navigation app or route planning software, you can upload your existing GPX or KML file when creating or editing a route.
Uploading a GPX or KML file saves time and ensures the route on Your2Wheels matches the route you’ve already created.
Before You Upload
Before uploading your file, make sure:
- Your route has been completed and saved.
- The GPX or KML file is stored on your computer or mobile device.
- The route follows the roads you intend riders to use.
Uploading a GPX or KML File
To upload your route:
- Create a new route or edit an existing one.
- Locate the GPX/KML Upload section.
- Select your GPX or KML file.
- Upload the file.
- Review the imported route on the map.
- Complete the remaining route information.
- Save your route.
Always check the imported route before publishing to ensure it displays correctly.
Which File Format Should I Use?
Your2Wheels supports both GPX and KML files.
If your navigation software gives you a choice, GPX is the recommended format because it is supported by most motorcycle GPS devices and navigation apps.
Creating a Route Without Uploading a File
Don’t worry if you don’t already have a GPX or KML file.
You can create your entire route using the Your2Wheels route planning tools.
Once your route has been created and published, other riders can download it as a GPX or KML file for use with their own navigation apps or GPS devices.
Replacing an Existing GPX or KML File
If you make changes to your ride using another navigation app or route planner, simply edit your route and upload the updated GPX or KML file.
This helps ensure riders always have access to the latest version of your route.
Tips
- Review the route after uploading.
- Check that the start and finish locations are correct.
- Confirm that any planned stops appear where expected.
- Update the route description if you’ve made significant changes.
Keeping your route accurate helps other riders enjoy the journey with confidence.
