Trail Tools

Planning a long-distance hike involves a lot of math. Miles from this waypoint to the next resupply. How many days of food to carry. Whether your pace gets you over a mountain pass before the afternoon storms roll in. Most hikers piece this together on scraps of paper, scattered spreadsheets, or mental arithmetic at the end of a long day on the trail.

These tools do the math for you.

Each one runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server. No account required. Open the tool, get the answer, close the tab and go back to planning.

GPX Distance Finder

Open any GPX track file and find the exact mileage from the start of the route — and to the end — for any coordinates you enter. Paste in as many lat/lon pairs as you need, then export your results as a CSV. Built for hikers and bikers placing waypoints on long-distance routes.

Elevation Gain Calculator

Open a GPX track and see total climb, total descent, high and low points, and net change — with an elevation profile chart of the whole route. Switch to point-to-point mode, or click two spots on the chart, to read the gain and loss for any segment. Built for hikers and bikers sizing up the climbing ahead.
