OnRouteMap | About OnRouteMap

What is OnRouteMap?

OnRouteMap is an independent, non-commercial project that helps athletes find supply points along their route. The platform was born from personal experience and the desire to make planning long tours for cyclists, hikers, and runners easier.

Acknowledgments

This project would not be possible without open-source projects. Special thanks to:

OpenStreetMap – map data
Overpass API – POI queries
Leaflet – interactive maps in the frontend
Folium – GPX visualization
Flask – web framework in the backend
All supporters and donors – you keep the project running!

OnRouteMap is free to use, but there are server and API costs. Support the project with a small donation!

Costs & Operations
