Other pages

Besides the map form, the website has some information pages. The header links to Features, About OnRouteMap, App and this Manual. The footer links to the legal page and to the system status.

Features

The Features page gives a short overview of all functions, with examples: POI categories, opening-hours filter, wind, rain radar, gradients, favorites, routebook, export and sharing. Read it first if you want to know what OnRouteMap can do before you create a map.

About

The About page tells you what OnRouteMap is and lists the open-source software that it uses. In the feedback section, you find how to report bugs and ideas: in GitHub issues or by email. Report security problems privately on GitHub. The page also has a short text about the maintainer and a list of project news.

Donations pay for the project

OnRouteMap is free and not commercial. It has no ads and no tracking. The server and the Google Places API for Get details cost money, and donations pay for them. The About page has a PayPal button if you want to support the project.

The Legal page gives the legal notice with the contact data, and the privacy policy. In short: OnRouteMap does not store personal data, keeps no log files and uses no analytics or tracking. It uses only two cookies that are technically necessary: one for the interface language and one for the color theme.

Mobile & desktop apps

The App page shows three ways to use OnRouteMap:

  • Android: a native app, free on Google Play.
  • iOS: a web app at app.onroutemap.de that you can add to your home screen. Open it in Safari, tap the Share icon, select Add to Home Screen and confirm. Only Safari can do this on iOS.
  • Desktop: the normal website. You do not have to install anything.

The apps are useful if you are often on the road. They start faster, show sharp maps on screens with high resolution, and keep maps that you opened before available without an internet connection. They show your current position on the map. They also have the same main functions as the website: radius search, POI search, favorites, routebook, GPX and KML export, and the gradient view. This manual describes the website. Most of it also applies to the apps, but their screens can look different.
