Trip Tracker
How it works

From a GPX file to a trip you can run

Six stages, roughly in order. Most trips are usable after the first two β€” the rest is detail you add as the plan firms up.

Step 1

Create the trip

Four ways in, depending on what you already have.

  • Upload a GPX β€” one file split by track segment into days, or one file per day.
  • Upload a spreadsheet β€” CSV or XLSX with your stages already listed.
  • Start from a template β€” weekend, week-long tour, or expedition, each with a sensible module set and starter checklists.
  • Start empty and add days by hand.

Then pick the activity type β€” cycling, hiking, paddling, driving, public transport or mixed. That decides which fields appear and how pace is estimated, and you can change it later.

Step 2

Shape the route

Get the days right first β€” everything else hangs off them.

  • Fill the grid β€” dates, titles, start and end points, distance, climbing, surface.
  • Attach a GPX per day and the elevation profile and whole-trip map appear on their own.
  • Set start and target finish times to unlock required-pace figures.
  • Mark rest days so they drop out of the effort and pace maths.
The trip's own date range follows the grid. Add a day at the end and the header updates itself.

Tab and arrow keys move between cells. Changes save when you leave one.

Step 3

Add the bookings without retyping them

This is the part people dread, so it is the part we automated.

  • Forward the confirmation to the trip's own import address.
  • Or paste the text, or upload the PDF, from the Imports tab.
  • Review the proposals β€” each extracted field is offered separately, and nothing is written until you accept.
  • Lock anything you have written by hand so a later import cannot overwrite it.

Works for flights, trains, ferries, transfers and hotel bookings. Whatever it cannot read confidently, it leaves for you.

Step 4

Bring the group in

Send one link each. They sign in with an email β€” no password to invent.

  • Invite by link and set a role: editor, rider or viewer.
  • Assign packing and tasks β€” to everyone, or to the one person actually carrying it.
  • Preview as a participant to see exactly what they will get before you send.
  • Check readiness β€” unbooked nights, long stages with no resupply, riders with no tracking link.

Step 5

Run the trip

On the road, you mostly live in one tab.

  • Today shows the stage, what is left, and the pace needed to arrive on time.
  • Log kilometres as you go β€” it recalculates and updates the public page at once.
  • Check the profile to see how much climbing is still ahead of you.
  • Post photos from the road; anyone on the trip can.
  • Tick things off β€” your own packing and tasks, nobody else's.

This also updates the public page your family sees.
Step 6

Share it with everyone at home

Turn on the public link, decide what it reveals, and send it once.

  • Enable the link β€” it is off until you do.
  • Choose what shows β€” addresses, costs, phones, booking references and balances are each separate switches.
  • Add a passcode if it should not be fully open.
  • They see the route, today's stage, elevation profiles, progress and photos β€” with no account needed.

What you need before you start

An email address

That is the whole signup. You get a link, you click it, you are in.

A rough route

A GPX helps a lot, but a list of towns and dates is enough to begin.

Your booking emails

Keep them β€” forwarding beats retyping, and the import reads most formats.

Your group's emails

Only if you want them ticking their own lists. Followers need nothing.
