Created by athletes, for athletes.
The route planner for everyone who moves outdoors
Can I
do it?
An average is no use to you: it says 6.8% and then you meet the wall. Here the gradient is metre by metre, and you know the elevation before you leave.
How it worksDirect,
or beautiful?
You decide, per sport: the engine has its presets. Direct when you have an hour, scenic when you have the day — and under each one it says what actually changes.
Route preferencesStandard mountain hiking: trails up to T3.
What it changes- Consider elevation Yes
Only easy, well-trodden trails (T1).
What it changes- Max difficulty (SAC) T1 · Hiking
- Preferred difficulty (SAC) T1 · Hiking
Mule tracks and switchbacks over the direct trail: an even climb, even when longer.
What it changes- Consider elevation Yes
- Cost of climbing 30
Accepts demanding, alpine terrain (up to T5).
What it changes- Max difficulty (SAC) T5 · Demanding alpine
- Preferred difficulty (SAC) T3 · Demanding mountain
Prefers forests and rivers, bypassing towns.
What it changes- Forests and parks Yes
- Along rivers and lakes Yes
Where do
I drink?
Fountains, toilets, huts, e-bike sockets. And water is not a yes or no: potable, undrinkable, or never declared — because nearly nine in ten do not say, and pretending to know would be worse.
And you do not have to be doing sport: out walking, hot day, children in tow. It works the same.
Take it in your pocketAm I
any better?
You upload the file. It does not even ask which watch it came from: it reads the bytes and works it out.
And it does not hand you the total — you knew the sign of that in the shower. It hands you the place.
The sports you can plan.
-
Running
A tempo session wants even ground and no junctions. A long trail run wants the opposite of that. Same planner, different instruction.
-
Hiking
You will take a T5. The friend you walk with stops at T3. Tell the engine which of you is planning, and the route is different — not the same line with a warning on it.
-
Road
Flowing itineraries on sealed roads, with the gradient of every ramp on the line readable before you turn the pedals.
-
MTB
Trails, tracks and descents. Read how hard the ground gets and where the climbing is stacked, and take the GPX with you for the part where there is no signal.
-
Gravel
More gravel, white roads and farm tracks — or less of them, on the day the legs are not there. The surface is the setting, not the surprise.
-
Skating
The narrowest engine on the planner, and deliberately so: gravel, steps and broken tarmac are not a compromise here, they are the end of the session.

Questions people ask
Is Route Planner free?
Yes. Creating a HuntLog account is free and planning routes is free — there is no subscription and no paid tier for the planner.
Which sports can I plan?
Road cycling, gravel, MTB, running and trail running, hiking and trekking, and skating — each on its own routing engine. Bikepacking, multisport and triathlon are supported as multi-track stories, and swimming can be recorded even though no router can draw it.
Can I export the route as a GPX?
Yes. Any route exports as a standard GPX track — the line, its points and the elevation along it — which loads on Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead, Suunto, Coros, Polar, Bryton and anything else that reads GPX.
Can I see gradients and elevation gain before I go?
Yes. The elevation profile sits under the map, gradient is computed metre by metre rather than averaged over a climb, and total ascent, distance and estimated time update while you drag a point.
