TrailSplits

Free 3D route planner for hikers and trail runners.

TrailSplits launched on March 30, 2026.

What it does

Tired of paying $60/year just to export a GPX file or see an elevation profile? TrailSplits is a completely free, privacy-first route planner built specifically for trail runners and alpinists. It bypasses the paywalls of major fitness apps by offering advanced 3D topographical maps and instant GPX downloads.

Plan trail routes with custom trail routing, public trace heatmaps, outdoor POIs, roundtrip generation, trail difficulty, snow context, GPX import/merge/export, 3D videos, and printable route roadbooks. No account required.

📱 Take your routes offline. The native iOS/Android app is in development. Join the early access waitlist → Plan by time at your own pace, sketch an elevation shape, magnet loops onto popular GPS lines, paint “avoid here” zones, and preview your run across the day. Budget minutes; we solve the distance at your flat + climb pace — or your past activities. Pick an elevation shape, reuse saved blocks, and magnet routes onto popular trails. Browse routes others shared, open any in the planner, and remix your own. Just say what you want — the planner sets the controls for you and explains each change. TrailSplits is a free web-based GPX route planner for mountain runners and hikers. It supports…from trailsplits.com

    Hi HN! This is a trail companion web app (think AllTrails) I hacked together in a couple weeks time. I was inspired to create this project while training for an extended backpacking trip. My motivation was to create a UI tailored exactly to my liking, and to be able to track my progress along the trail without draining my battery. I also wanted to experiment with PWA technologies. I successfully used it on my five day adventure along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana, and even though it's web-based it hardly consumed any battery life on my old first-gen Pixel XL. It's set up currently…

    Bike route planner that follows almost only official bike trails2024 · trailimap.com · ▲279

    Hey guys, I built a route planner that is mostly focused on bike touring and using existing bike infrastructure. For each request you're shown what bike tracks/trails your route uses and can further explore them by showing them on map or going to the official trail route. The main idea for the app is to have a friendly and easy to use planner that would make heavy use of official bike trails data (mainly from OpenStreetMap) and make it easy to plan a longer trip using the best possible bike routes out there. Currently the app only works for the Euro region but I'm planning to add North…

    I'm working on a GPS track visualizer for quite some time. It shines in hilly and mountaineous terrain (where a 3D view makes more sense), but it also offers quite a lot of Strava-like features (statistics etc.). You can upload your GPX and FIT files manually, or sync directly with Garmin, Coros and Polar. See https://cubetrek.com for the live app and check out some examples there. It's free and opens source. Also, anyone who likes to work with 3D visualizations (especially Babylon.js), let me know if you like to help polish this thing further.
