Product Roadmap
Built around real event problems.
SummitGPX is growing around the practical things race organisers and runners actually need, from clearer route updates to better checkpoint information, easier access to the latest GPX files and smarter tools for race day.
Completed
Route versioning
Showing route version numbers and update dates across route pages, embeds and GPX downloads so runners can check they have the latest route.
Completed
Checkpoints in GPX downloads
Adding organiser defined checkpoints directly into GPX downloads so aid stations, checkpoints and key route information travel with the route file.
Completed
Route QR codes
Download route labelled QR codes for websites, race packs, signage and event materials.
Completed
Elevation profile with checkpoints
Displaying checkpoints directly on the elevation profile so runners can see climbs, descents, aid stations and key points in context.
Completed
Route analytics
Giving organisers useful insight into route views, GPX downloads and how runners are accessing their route information.
Completed
PDF and CSV exports
Creating downloadable checkpoint tables for organisers and runners, including CSV exports and polished PDF versions for race packs.
Completed
Route editing and smart rerouting
Letting organisers edit a route directly inside SummitGPX when a course needs to change, such as a lane closure, landowner request or last minute diversion.
Organisers could select a section of the route, reroute it on the map, preview the change and publish a new route version without needing to use another GPX editor.
Completed
Split large GPX routes
Exploring ways to split very large GPX files into smaller sections for long ultras, multi day events and devices that struggle with bigger files.
Completed
White labelled route pages
Route pages can now be fully branded with your own logo, browser tab icon and shared link preview, giving runners a seamless experience that looks like your own platform.
In progress
One click watch downloads
Making it quick and easy for runners to send the latest official route directly to their GPS watch, reducing the need to download and manually transfer GPX files.
Initial support will focus on Garmin, with COROS and Suunto integrations following, allowing organisers to give runners a much simpler route download experience before race day.
Planned
AI Route Intelligence
Automatically analysing routes to highlight potential safety considerations, navigation hotspots, major road crossings, remote sections and other useful insights, helping organisers review routes more quickly before publishing.
AI generated route summaries and runner briefings will explain key sections of the course in plain English, making route information easier to understand while reducing the time organisers spend creating supporting content.
Planned
Route update notifications
Letting organisers email runners when a route has changed, with a clear update message and a link to download the latest GPX file.
Planned
Verified route downloads
Allowing organisers to require runners to enter their email address before downloading GPX, FIT or other route files, then checking it against the runner list for that route.
Organisers will be able to see who downloaded each route version, when they downloaded it and who still needs a reminder to download the latest file.
Planned
Runner GPX guides
Step by step guides showing runners how to go from scanning a QR code to downloading a GPX file and transferring it to popular GPS watches and devices, helping organisers reduce support requests before race day.
Planned
Runner pacing tools
Helping runners estimate checkpoint arrival times based on their target pace or finish time, including comparisons against cut off times.
Exploring
Surface analysis
Analysing GPX routes against mapping data to estimate the percentage of paved and unpaved terrain, helping runners choose suitable footwear and organisers better describe their courses.
Exploring
Interactive 3D route flyovers
Exploring cinematic 3D route previews that could help organisers showcase courses, brief runners and create more engaging route content.
