RouteFixer offers two powerful tools for working with GPS routes. Each tool is designed for specific use cases, making it easy to fix existing routes or create new ones from scratch.
Fix Route
Purpose: Edit and repair existing GPX files
What it does:
- Upload and edit existing GPX routes
- Trim unwanted sections from your route
- Join multiple GPX files together
- Split a single route into multiple segments
- View real-time distance and moving time metrics
Best for:
Fixing corrupted routes, removing wrong turns, combining multiple activities, or splitting long routes into smaller segments. Perfect when you already have a GPX file that needs editing.
Re-create Route
Purpose: Create new routes from scratch
What it does:
- Plot route by clicking points on the map
- Automatically calculates cycling route between points
- Calculates realistic timing based on user set speed and gradient
- Import reference GPX to support route creation
- Add ride name, date, and time information
Best for:
Creating completely new routes from scratch, recreating lost activities, or planning future rides. Perfect when you need to build a route by clicking on a map rather than editing an existing file.
Key Differences
Fix Route:
- Requires an existing GPX file
- Focuses on editing and modifying
- Works with actual GPS track data
- Preserves existing timestamps and elevation
Re-create Route:
- Starts with a blank map
- Focuses on creating from scratch
- Generates new route data
- Creates new timestamps based on your settings
Switching Between Tools
You can easily switch between Fix Route and Re-create Route using the page selector dropdown located at the top left of the map interface. Simply select your desired tool from the dropdown menu.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most commonly asked questions. Can't find what you're looking for? Feel free to reach out for additional support.
What is a GPX file?
GPX (GPS eXchange Format) is a text based XML file format used to store GPS data, such as waypoints, tracks, and routes. It uses a standard structure with tags to define data, allowing it to be easily interpreted by various GPS devices, software, and online mapping services for the purpose of importing and exporting location information. As the format is text based, the file can be opened in a text editor and viewed freely.
What is the Speed setting? Is it average speed for the ride?
No. The speed setting is how fast you ride on a 0% gradient. Your speed will be adjusted for elevation so you are faster on the downhill, and slower uphill, relative to your flat speed - just like the real world.
Can I use the website to cheat?
We do not condone using this website to manipulate or boost rankings on the global leaderboards of any platform. We understand that some users may want to create a fake or enhanced ride simply to share with friends. If that’s the case, please set the ride visibility to Only Followers. This way, your ride will still be visible to your followers but will not appear on the global leaderboard. Global leaderboards are closely monitored by the community, and unrealistic times are often flagged and removed.
