8 must-have features when sharing a running route with others
There are dozens of ways to share a route, including:
Google Maps
Running or route site
Static images or PDFs
GPX, TCX, or other route files
At a minimum, you'll need an interactive map, clear route path, and elevation chart.
But, if these following things matter to you and your route audience, then RunGo – on the web – is the only way:
You can view the route on the web, not re-routed to an app
Or, embed the route on your own site and keep your visitors there, not linking away
Ad-free! You prefer the route page to highlight the route, not route platform ads. Certain map platforms will have over 50% of the screen covered in their ads
Every turn plus additional points can be customized. Running routes have nuances, it's not always as simple as "turn right" but instead “turn sharp left after the statue, and keep on the left side sidewalk.” Plus, you can avoid turn data like "Proceed onto off-road waypoint. No data available" or "Turn onto null" that appear in other sites.
Your audience wants to download the route file for a watch. RunGo is the only platform that allows logged-out GPX route download, plus the industry's only custom TCX download
Include points of interest (POIs) on your map, like local landmarks, bathrooms, aid stations, or sponsor-branded locations
Your route is brandable, with your logo and other assets. Learn more here
Follow with voice, or add your voices. Give your audience the chance to follow a route *without* staring at their phone or map, through RunGo's unique customizeable voice navigation. Once you follow a complex route on RunGo, without ever having to stop, check a map, or have off-route anxiety, you'll never go back!
No other platform does these things.
