Route Features

Printing Routes

Select to view the route from your 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, 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 and route data can be exported on the site. To export a route, log in to your MapMyFitness account and click on one of your individual 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 in various websites and blogs via an HTML snippet offered on the Route Summary of any created/recorded map. After selecting a route from the My Routes page an option to add it to another site will appear on the right side of the route page. 

Here is an example Route we can use to walk through embedding, 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 and you will be given a variety of options for customizing what is displayed once the route is embedded. These options are shown below. 

And then, simply drop the HTML snippet into your website's code. Refresh the page it is embedded in, kick back, and enjoy as all of your followers bask in your beautiful, informative routes. 

Embedding Routes Troubleshooting

Sometimes a few problems can prevent routes from populating your website, despite a correct code. This is almost always due to a privacy conflict. In order 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 do so can be found here. Make sure you change the specific route's privacy to public, as well as your "default profile sharing" setting.
