Planning Routes
Routes are planned on the web — a big map and a mouse beat a phone screen for this — and sync to your phone automatically for the ride, offline included. Sign in and head to Planned routes.
Building a route
- Add waypoints — search for a place or right-click anywhere on the map.
- Reorder by drag-and-drop — grab a waypoint card and move it; the route recalculates.
- Pick your line — where the road network offers alternatives, click the one you'd rather ride.
- Go off-road — right-click the map and choose Draw offroad track from here, then click your way across the terrain. The track is drawn exactly as you laid it out, not snapped to the nearest road.
- Add a stop — lunch, fuel, a lookout. Drop a stop on a track and it splits into two legs with the stop between them, so the day's timings and the ride itself both know it's there.
- Notes — add notes to the route and to each day: meeting time, fuel warnings, lunch stop.
Multi-day trips
Add day breaks to split a tour into days, each with its own distance, riding time, and notes. Drag waypoints between days as the plan evolves — the editor keeps per-day stats in front of you so no day ends up a 900 km monster by accident.
Importing GPX
Got a track from a mate or a route site? Import GPX brings it in — as the whole route or appended to the current day. A file holding several tracks brings each one in on its own day, so you pick which to ride. Imported tracks get a full editing toolbar: trim the start or end, split, add a stop, simplify, snap to roads, reverse, join, and undo/redo until it's right.
Know the road before you ride it
Weather along the route
The weather overlay colours the route itself by the conditions forecast where and when you'll be riding — rain, wind, storm — with a day and time slider covering the next 7 days. The same overlay is on the app's Map tab. Forecast data by MET Norway.
Fuel stations
Toggle fuel stops onto the map while you plan, so the gaps between them are a decision, not a surprise.
Gravel roads
Unsealed-road overlay (New Zealand) shows where the tarmac ends — seek it or dodge it, your call.
Plan together
From the Share button, create links to the route — view-only or full edit, with an optional expiry. Nobody needs an account to look at a shared route. Edit links are live: several people can work on the same route at once and see each other's changes as they happen. Anyone signed in can also save a copy of a shared route to their own account.
Share links work on phones too. Open one in a mobile browser and you get a map-first view with the waypoint list in a bottom drawer; a banner at the top offers to open the route directly in the Stands-Up app (iOS & Android). Inside the app the shared route is read-only — you can ride it right away (no account required — riding is always free) or save a copy to your own Planned Routes if you're signed in.
From plan to ride
Planned routes sync to your phone automatically and are stored for offline use — no "send to device" step. Ride one directly from the app, or schedule it as a group ride (from the web route list or the group's gear menu) so the whole crew gets the date, a reminder, and navigation to the start point.
