Printing Routes
Select a route from the My Routes section on our website. Once you are viewing the route you wish to print, select the Print button located in the route details box at the top of the page.
Please note that when printing routes, only those created using our online route creation tool will create directions. In addition, printing is an MVP feature and requires a subscription to use.
Exporting a Route
Routes can be exported on the website. To export a route, log in to your MapMyFitness account and click on one of your routes under "My Routes." On the right of the screen, you will see some menu options. Click on Download to export your route as a .gpx or .kml file.
Bike Path Color Meanings
The green lines that appear on site maps are bike paths. These can be turned on and off by checking the box in the Route Creation Toolbox when viewing or editing a route. The following is a listing of the bike path definitions:
Dark green = multi-use trails (no motorized vehicles)
Light green = streets with bike lanes
Dashed green = other streets recommended for cyclists
Embedding a Route
Routes can be embedded into various websites and blogs via an HTML snippet on the Route Summary of any created/recorded map. After selecting a route from the My Routes page, an option to add the route to another site will appear on the right side of the route page.
Here is an example Route we can use to walk through the embedding process, feel free to access the page and use it as a test: Test Route.
Next, select the option to add the route to a website. Once the route is embedded, you will be given various options for customizing its display. These options are shown below:
Drop the HTML snippet into your website's code and refresh the page where it is embedded.
Troubleshooting Embedding Routes
Sometimes, a few problems can prevent routes from populating your website despite a correct code. This is almost always due to a privacy conflict. For a route to appear to non-MapMyFitness viewers, both the route and your profile privacy settings must be set to public. If an embedded route does not appear correctly on your site, it can be corrected by changing your privacy settings. Instructions on how to change your privacy settings can be found here. Make sure you change the specific route's privacy to public, as well as your "default profile sharing" setting.
