Round trip from your location
Start and finish at your home, hotel, campsite or another chosen departure point.
How it works
Create a free cycling route from your location
BikeRouteNow creates four different cycling routes from your chosen starting point. Enter how far you want to ride and choose from different route options, then compare the routes directly on the map.
Enter your starting location.
Choose a round trip or a route to a destination.
Set your preferred distance.
Choose from different route options.
Compare four routes and download your favourite.
Which cycling routes can I create?
You can create a round trip from one starting point or plan a cycling route from A to B. BikeRouteNow generates four alternatives, so you do not have to choose every waypoint yourself.
Route from A to B
Plan a ride to a destination and add extra kilometres when you want a longer route.
Route at your preferred distance
Choose roughly how far you want to ride and compare the suggested routes.
Choose the route options that suit your ride
Take the current wind direction into account or favour greener, quieter sections. This lets you compare four route suggestions based on what matters to you.
You can enable Wind and Nature separately or combine them. The options guide route selection but remain dependent on current weather and map data.
Download your cycling route as GPX, KML, TCX or GeoJSON
After generating routes, you can download each one as GPX, KML, TCX or GeoJSON. GPX is the simplest choice for most bike computers and navigation apps.
| Format | Suitable for |
|---|---|
| GPX | Importing into Garmin, Wahoo and many navigation apps |
| TCX | Training devices and compatible cycling apps |
| KML | Google Earth and other mapping software |
| GeoJSON | GIS software and technical applications |

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the cycling route planner
Is BikeRouteNow free?
Yes. You can generate four route suggestions without an account and download your chosen cycling route for free.

Does a GPX file work with Garmin and Wahoo?
GPX files can generally be imported into Garmin and Wahoo platforms. The exact process differs by device and app.
Is my entered route stored?
BikeRouteNow does not store entered addresses and routes in a user database. The privacy notice explains which temporary processing is needed to operate and protect the service.
Are the routes always current and accessible?
