About OnRouteMap

What is OnRouteMap?

OnRouteMap is an independent, non-commercial project that helps cyclists, hikers and runners find supply points along their route. Upload a GPX file or use the radius search to find supermarkets, gas stations, drinking water, accommodation, bike shops and many more POIs. Free, no ads, no tracking and no registration required.

Acknowledgments

OnRouteMap uses open-source software. 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!

Support OnRouteMap

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

Costs & Operations

OnRouteMap incurs ongoing costs for server hosting and domains, as well as for using the Google Places API. Usage remains free for you as long as costs are covered by donations.
