AI running route planner — chat a run, get a real-road GPX.

jokiinlari is an AI running route planner. Describe your run — distance, area, hills, pace — and it builds a real-road route. Edit waypoints, check elevation, then export GPX for Strava, Garmin, or Coros. Map building is free. AI chat and GPX use one-time credits that never expire. Try it at jokiinlari.xyz
How does it pick routes in cities it might not have detailed street data for, and does the AI pull from live mapping sources or rely on a set base layer?
@sedanura98273 Great question. We don’t invent roads — routes snap to a live road network via Mapbox Directions (walking/cycling), on top of OpenStreetMap coverage. The AI places waypoints and asks for a road-snapped path; it doesn’t draw freehand over a static base layer.
In cities with thinner OSM coverage, quality follows that coverage — you’ll see fewer runnable options or odd detours. If a place feels off, drag the waypoints and we’ll recompute on the same live network. Happy to dig into a specific city if you want to stress-test it.
Finally got a route that avoided the boring industrial loop I usually default to, and the elevation profile matched what my watch recorded pretty closely. Solid little tool.
@ensar33961 Love hearing that — dodging the default industrial loop is exactly the kind of “actually runnable” route we care about. Glad the elevation lined up with your watch too; we preview gain from the same path before you export. Thanks for trying it!
would love a "loop back to start" toggle so i can get a circular route from a single point instead of always planning point-to-point. that would make quick evening runs way easier to set up
@fatihmahalwd7k Totally get this — evening runs are usually “N km and home,” not A→B. You can already ask the AI for something like “5km loop from here” and it’ll close the route, but a one-click loop back to start toggle in the builder is a cleaner fit. Logging it — thanks for the nudge.
the way you can tweak waypoints right on the map before exporting to gpx is genuinely thoughtful, most route builders lock that step behind a paywall or bury it in menus
@denizsalg28700 Appreciate that. We wanted the map to feel like the workshop, not a teaser — add/drag waypoints, check elevation, then export when it’s ready. Building and tweaking stay free; you only spend credits when you download GPX (or use the AI co-pilot). Glad that landed.
The way you can drag waypoints and instantly see the elevation update makes route tweaking feel really intuitive. Nice that map building stays free too.
@zlem78230489629 Thanks! Live elevation while you drag was a must for us — guessing hills on race week is the worst. And yeah: map building stays free on purpose. Pay only for AI tokens and GPX when the route’s actually worth putting on your watch.
the way waypoints drag and snap on the elevation preview is genuinely satisfying, makes route tweaking feel less like guesswork and more like actually shaping a run. nice execution.
@abdullahboyu That “shaping a run” feeling is what we were after — less spreadsheet, more clay. Happy the elevation preview + waypoint drag combo feels good. If anything still feels guessy in your area, shout and we’ll look at it.
