For runners
Plan the line without paying for it.
Draw a route, see the distance and the climb, take the GPX to your watch. Free, for as many routes as you like. Share it with whoever you want, or nobody.
Sound familiar
What it fixes.
Route planning sits behind a subscription.
Drawing, saving, and exporting are free on Skad, with no limit on how many routes you keep. Runners never pay.
You want a planner, not a social network.
There's no feed, no follower count, and no leaderboard. Your routes are private until you send the link.
The distance on the map never matches the one on the day.
The line snaps to mapped roads and trails, or goes free-hand where they don't. Distance and climb update as you draw.
What you'd use
The parts that matter to you.
Snap or free-draw
Follow the trail, or go off it for the bits the map doesn't know. Switch per point.
Elevation profile
Climb for the whole route and a profile you can scrub. Know where it hurts before you get there.
The forecast
Seven days of conditions at the start. Go/no-go before you set the alarm.
GPX in
Import a route someone sent you, or one you recorded, and keep editing it.
GPX out
Take the line to your watch. Export everything you've drawn from your account at any time.
Yours, or shared
Private by default. Share a route by link with your running partner, or with nobody.
