Places
Find the roads worth riding — and the places worth stopping for
Photo spots, viewpoints, biker meets and meeting points, marked by riders for riders. Find them on the map, save them, put them on your route and add your own.
From a pin on the map to a stop on your ride
Find it
Browse the Places map in the planner — guests included — or search right where you're planning.
Save it
Tap Save and the Place sits in your Favorites, ready for the next ride.
Add it to a route
Add a Place as a stop in Plan or Create, straight from the map or its page.
Ride there
It stays on your route with its name and category — on to GPX or Google Maps.
Share it
Every public Place has its own page that opens for anyone you send it to.
Help others find it
Add your own spot, rate it and leave a note and photos for the next rider.
Four kinds of Places
Every Place is one of four categories, so you know what to expect before you ride there.
Photo spot
Where your bike looks its best: the backdrop other riders already found.
Scenic viewpoint
The view worth pulling over for — a pass, a valley, a lake.
Biker meet
The café, the car park, the regular spot where riders gather.
Rider meeting point
Where a group ride starts: easy to find, easy to park, easy to say “see you at nine”.
Photo spots
Find the spot where other riders take their photos
In an unfamiliar area, the best backdrop is rarely on a map. Photo spots are places riders have marked because the shot works — open one, see the photos and ratings, and add it to your ride.
- Filter the Places map to photo spots
- Add the spot as a stop on a planned route
- Save it for the ride you haven't planned yet
- Mark your own and help the next rider get the shot

Search Places while you build the route
Under your stops, Add a Place opens the Places around your route — with search, category filters and a map. Choose one and it becomes a stop: no address hunting, and the Place keeps its name and details on the route.
- Places along the route, searchable by name
- Filter by photo spot, viewpoint, biker meet or meeting point
- From a Place's page: add it to your route in Plan or Create
- Show the Places layer on the planning map whenever you like

Public when you want, private when you don't
Not every spot is meant for the world. Places follow the audience you chose.
Private Places
Only you see them — on your map, in My spots and on your own routes.
Favorites
The Places you saved show on your profile only to the audience you choose. Private by default.
On a shared route
A public Place shows with its marker and link. A private one stays hidden like any private stop.
