Ride with GPS

Whether you’re planning a Sunday café spin, a longer training ride, or a weekend away, Ride with GPS (RWGPS) is a brilliant tool that makes route planning and navigation simple, accurate, and accessible to everyone.

Here’s why we recommend all members create a free Ride with GPS account and start using it for your rides:

✅ Free & Easy to Get Started

If you do not already have a Ride with GPS account, setting up a free account only takes a minute and gives you access to all the core route-planning and navigation features.
🔗 Sign up for a free account


🗺️ Simple & Accurate Route Mapping

The mapping interface is user-friendly, with turn-by-turn directions, elevation profiles, estimated ride times, and surface types (road/gravel/paths). You can even preview Street View on your planned route.

Ride with GPS offers a fully featured website for route planning, which we recommend using for the best experience. They also provide a mobile app, which is great for navigation and ride tracking. However, please note that route planning within the app requires a paid subscription. If you prefer to plan routes on the go or directly from your phone, the paid option is excellent value and unlocks a range of additional features.


🔁 Syncs with All GPS Devices

Whether you ride with a Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead, Bryton, or just use your phone, RWGPS supports it all:


📁 Collections to Keep Routes Organised

You can group routes into Collections – perfect for planning club holidays, training blocks, or keeping all your favourite local café routes in one place.
🔗 How to create and use Collections


📍 Other Reasons to Use RWGPS

  • Printable Cue Sheets – for those who prefer a paper backup
  • Voice Navigation on Mobile App – no need to keep checking the screen
  • Elevation Profiles – know where the hills are before you set off!
  • Club Library – we have a shared library of routes for all members
