Features
Everything GravelRouter does, by category: gravel routing and road surfaces, weather, routes, rides, fitness and riding with it all on the bike.
Maps & Planning
Plan rides that find the gravel, anywhere in the world.
- Gravel-first routing: Routes that take the gravel roads wherever they can, anywhere in the world.
- Road surfaces on the map: Every road on the map in the colour of its surface, so you see the gravel before you plan.
- The surface of every metre: Your route in the colours of its surfaces, and how much of it is gravel.
- AutoRoute: Choose a distance, the surface and the hills, and get loops from your door to ride.
- Avoid or seek hills: Route round the climbs, or go and find them.
