A: Hi there — happy to help! Let me go through your questions one by one:

"Routes of what? Like Google Maps?"
Kind of! You can create routes by clicking on the map, like in Google Maps. But instead of directions, AvoMap turns your route into a smooth, animated video — perfect for hikes, bike rides, road trips, and more.

"How will I know if specific roads are integrated into the app?"
AvoMap uses map data that follows real-world roads and paths. When you create a route in the editor, it will snap to streets and trails — but some smaller or off-road paths may not be available yet.

"Can I pinpoint the routes instead of uploading the GPS file?"
Yes! You can create routes directly in the editor by clicking on the map to add points. You can also search for places using an autocompletion search bar to help you find exact locations quickly — no GPS file needed.

"How do I produce the GPS file?"
If you do want to upload one, GPS files (like GPX or KML) can be recorded with many smartphone apps, GPS watches, or tools like Strava, Komoot, or Gaia GPS. You just export the file and upload it to AvoMap.
