TrailDrop
Upload, enrich with AI, and share GPX routes in one click
When I got into e-biking last year, I was planning routes from various sources — YouTube channels, Strava heatmaps, and Komoot — and creating my own GPX files to explore.
The problem? Sharing those GPX routes with friends was a painful experience. They needed to sign up for apps, download software, or dig through features they didn’t care about… to see the trail.
So I built something small for myself: TrailDrop 🚴♂️
Upload a GPX → get an instant link.
Friends can open it on their phone or desktop and instantly see:
- map with route
- slope & elevation profile
- distance and total gain
No signups, no installs — just the route.
I’ve been using it for planning group rides — even with people who don’t own a GPS device but still want to preview the trail before deciding to join.
Now I’m curious:
- How do you currently share routes with friends or your group?
- Would something lightweight like this solve a pain point for you?
If you want to test, here’s the demo: https://traildrop.app
About
I started TrailDrop because sharing GPX routes today is messy — people send files by email, WhatsApp, or force others to join big platforms like AllTrails or Komoot. I wanted a lightweight way to upload a GPS track.
