The map view¶
Both search options open a generated map. It shows your route or search point, all POIs that OnRouteMap found, and the controls for planning.
At the top left, a label shows the name of the route and its length. For a radius search, it shows the coordinates of the search point. The Layers button is at the top right.
The toolbar on the left side has these buttons, from top to bottom:
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| + / − | Zoom in and out |
| Location pin | Show your current position |
| Arrow to the left | Go back to the OnRouteMap home page |
| Mountain | Gradient overlay (route maps only) |
| Book | Routebook (route maps only) |
| Clock | Opening-hours filter |
| Magnifier | POI search |
| Wind lines | Wind overlay |
| Rain cloud | Rain radar (Germany only) |
| Share | Share the map |
| Download | GPX and KML export (route maps only) |
On a phone, popups open as a bottom sheet.
At the bottom right, the i button opens the icon legend. The bottom left shows a distance scale. The line at the bottom right gives the map sources and a link to this manual.
The pages in this section explain the map view:
- POI markers & popups: the content of a POI popup, and how to get more details
- Searching & filtering POIs: the search, the legend and the opening-hours filter
- Map layers & styles: map styles and visible layers
- Wind, elevation & rain radar overlays: wind data, gradient colors and the rain radar
- Favorites: mark the POIs where you want to stop
- Sharing a map: QR code and link
- Export & routebook: GPX, KML and the printable routebook
Markers and clusters¶
On a phone or tablet, POIs that are near each other combine into one numbered cluster. Zoom in, or click the cluster, to see the separate markers. On a computer, OnRouteMap combines markers only when they are very close. Favorites and imported GPX waypoints are never in a cluster. They stay visible at all zoom levels.
Along the route, small markers show the route kilometers. Their interval depends on the route length: every kilometer on a short route, up to every 20 km on a very long route.
