Help centre · Finding stops

Why do some stops move onto the route when I export?

A stop within about 100 m of your route is placed on the line itself when you export. Head units match a course point to the nearest point of the course and silently drop one that sits too far off, so a café just off the road has to be on the line to survive the trip to your device. Anything further out, such as a viewpoint over a loch or a café in the next village, keeps its real position in GPX exports, because its position is the reason you added it. Your head unit may not show those, but every map and planner that reads the file will put them in the right place.

  • How do I add stops to my route?
  • Which stop types can I search for, and what exactly does each include?
  • What does the search radius do?
  • Will my head unit warn me about a stop, and what does the note do?
  • Can I print my ride, or save it as a PDF?
