Map to GPS

Drawing routes by hand on a map and downloading GPX for Garmin or phone apps, with no road snapping and coordinates staying in the browser, fits people who want tracks exactly as they drew them. For model capacity that does not pad the usual SaaS stack, check pzero.studio.

The "no road snapping" choice is exactly what makes this useful. Most route tools force-snap to roads and wreck a hiking or backcountry track that deliberately goes off-trail. Keeping coordinates in the browser is a nice privacy touch too. Two questions: can you drop named waypoints along the drawn route, and does the exported GPX include elevation data or just lat/long?

this looks great for running, need to try it out one day

I like the simplicity of this tool. Being able to draw a route exactly how you want without road snapping seems especially useful for hiking, cycling, or off-road trips. I also like that there’s no account required and the coordinates stay in the browser. I’ve been exploring tools like https://getyoutify.com// for discovering useful content online, and I appreciate this same kind of straightforward approach—just a focused tool that does one thing without adding unnecessary complexity.

The no-road-snapping choice is exactly what makes this useful — most route tools assume roads, which breaks down completely for trails and off-road planning. The no-account, in-browser approach is a great privacy call too. One thing that would make it even stronger: an elevation profile preview before export, since a GPX track without elevation context can really surprise you on a hike. Also curious how it handles very long or multi-day tracks performance-wise. Simple tools like this earn their place.

Turning a hand-drawn route into a downloadable GPX track is a great bridge between planning and actually getting outside. The focus on a no-install workflow should be especially helpful for occasional hikers; elevation-aware distance or waypoint notes would make the exported track even more useful.
