Ride With GPS - bulk export?

Post by spearmint wino »

I'm wanting to export all the routes I've created on RideWithGPS as individual .gpx files.
Does anyone know if there's a way to do it apart from viewing each route individually and exporting it?

Searched the FAQs, support community and web but to no avail...

TIA

from the Routes page right click to View a route and 'open in a new tab', in that new tab add this onto the end of the url in the address bar '.gpx?sub_format=track' and press return to (re-)load the page. It'll ask you to save the route file. Close the tab and repeat with the next route. Not a bulk export, but quicker than the usual way.

ie, turn this : https://ridewithgps.com/routes/15549075
into this : https://ridewithgps.com/routes/15549075 ... rmat=track

how many routes are we talking about? Are they public? I could extract them all automatically if you want, and email you them in a zip file. a one time only offer :)

Newbie question: - If I create a route on the "Ride with GPS" site....how do I then transfer this to my phone and view in the App of my choice??

I use Google Maps & Locus Maps (offline) when out riding to check my location and route choices.

I'd like to design some routes on my PC in "Ride with GPS" and then transfer to my phone as a back up to use offline - I wont need turn by turn directions, just a coloured line of the correct route.

Any help??

Sorry, I'm sure this has been posted and discussed ad nauseam.

I'll do a search now but thought i'd tag on to this thread.

Thanks if you can help me out.
Cheers.

the easiest way is to download the RideWithGPS app and save it as an offline route (route only).

EDIT: but if you want it in an 'app of your choice' then you need to export the route (in the desktop version of RideWithGPS) as a .gpx file, and then upload that file into the desktop version of the 'app of your choice'. After that download it again in the 'app of your choice' on your phone.
