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.

Multiple Modes

Choose between Normal, Join, and Split modes to work with your routes. Join multiple GPX files together or split a single route into multiple segments.

Precision Trimming

Remove unwanted sections from your route with precision. Click two points on the map to trim the section between them, perfect for removing wrong turns or unwanted data.

Real-Time Metrics

See your route distance and moving time update automatically as you make changes. All metrics are calculated in real-time for immediate feedback.

Route Splitting

Split your route into multiple segments at any point. Each segment is colored differently on the map and can be downloaded individually or as a zip file.

Interface

The Fix Route interface is designed to be simple and efficient, with all essential tools readily accessible for editing your GPX files.

Tools Sidebar

Contains all the tools you need to work with your GPX files, including metrics display, mode selection, file management, and editing tools.

  • Route metrics
  • Mode selector
  • File management
  • Trim, Join and Split tools
  • Export options
Fix Route Interface

Tools Sidebar

The Tools Sidebar is located on the left side of the interface and contains all the functionality you need to edit and manage your GPX files.

Tools Sidebar

Route Metrics

Displays real-time statistics for your route including total distance in kilometers and moving time. These metrics update automatically as you make changes to your route.

Mode Selector

Choose between three modes:

Normal for single file editing
Join for combining multiple GPX files
Split for dividing a route into segments

Note: The mode automatically switches to Join when you add a second file.

GPX Files

Manage your uploaded GPX files. Add new files using the Add button, or remove individual files by clicking the × next to the filename.

Tip: When split files are created, they appear in this section with download buttons for each segment.

Tools

Access editing tools for your route. Trim removes sections between two selected points. Split divides your route into multiple colored segments at a selected point.

Note: This section appears after you upload a GPX file.

Export

Download your edited route. For joined or edited routes, a single GPX file is downloaded. For split routes, all segments are packaged in a zip file. Individual split segments can also be downloaded from the file list.

Re-create Route

How it works

  • 1
    Plot a route on the map
  • 2
    Select the speed of the ride
  • 3
    Give the ride a name and time
  • 4
    Download the GPX route
  • 5

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.
