Uploading a route means
taking data about a route, such as the route, photographs and descriptions of the route, and placing it online.
Uploading routes
Before you can add a route, you have to create an account.
To produce a data file of all the points on a route, you need to have suitable software, which can output in a
compatible format. Currently we support GPX, KML (and KMZ) and ASCII formats. KML (and KMZ) is used by Google Earth, which is free, and a great
way to draw routes. GPX is a defacto standard supported by many mapping applications such as Memory Map, Anquet, Tracklogs, Fugawi etc.
We'll may add more format in future, do hope to add a generic ASCII file import which work with most software.
The data for the route on it's own isn't very interesting, so we give you the ability to add extra information. Firstly,
you can upload photos of the route, and then add these and other useful information to a map of the route. Then, you can add
detailed description of the route, and useful information about the route. Finally, we get you to label the route with 'tags'
to help others find similar routes. Just about everything is optional, but the more information you add, the more
useful the route is to others.
