Create a running route on ground runners have run

Two ways. Cut one out of your own run: open a run with GPS, drag the two ends of the slider under its map to mark the stretch, and name it. Or draw one on the map in the Places tab: tap a few points, and ourpr. joins them along your own runs, or along paths others have made available on ourpr. Either way it appears on your map and in Your Routes, and you can plan a run against it.

Yes. A drawn route follows every trace in your history at once, so it can join a piece of one morning's run to a piece of another you ran months earlier.

Yes. Before your first tap, choose Mine or Shared. Mine is your own runs. Shared is the paths others have made available on ourpr. It starts in Fort Worth. If you have no runs yet, the map opens on Shared. You need an account to see it.

Only the lines. It shows no runs, no dates, no times and no names. ourpr. cuts each run 200 m at each end, cuts out each runner's privacy zones, such as their home, and drops a short dead end that could be a driveway. A route never leaves the lines it was drawn on: ourpr. refuses any step that is not on it.

On the map in the Places tab, tap Create Route. The Routes shelf at home opens it too. Choose Mine or Shared, tap your start, then tap where you go next. ourpr. draws the line between the taps and reads the distance as you go. You can undo a point, run it the other way, or close the loop.

No. On Strava, the route builder needs a paid subscription. On ourpr., every runner cuts and saves routes for free.

Its distance, measured along the ground it follows. Its climb, from the height records of the runs under it: your own runs, or on Shared, the runs of the runners who share it. A run without an elevation record gives no climb, and ourpr. shows a dash and never a zero. ourpr. also draws the route on a real map, so you recognise it by its ground.

Yes. Move either end along the same run, and ourpr. measures it again. You can also rename a route, or forget it.

Only the ones you publish. A switch on the route's page makes it public. A public route has its own page and a link you can send to anyone.

The ground and nothing else: the name, the line, the distance and the climb. It shows no owner, no note, no start point and no run. A visitor who opens it sees their own runs on that route, computed from their own history. Your runs stay private.

Yes. Tap Save, and a copy lands in your routes as a private route. The copy stays yours if the original is unpublished or deleted.

Yes. Turn the switch off, and the public page is gone at once. ourpr. cannot take back a link that somebody already opened.
