Why Did I Create "Sport Distance Calculator"?

As a sports and outdoor enthusiast, I spent a long time looking for a simple and effective tool to plan my running, cycling, and hiking routes.

What was I looking for? A way to easily plot my routes, know the exact distances, get estimated times, elevation data… all without needing special equipment or switching between multiple complex or paid apps (which, at the time, often didn’t even exist).

From that personal need, www.sportdistancecalculator.com was born in May 2009 — a free website, open to everyone, designed for athletes, casual walkers, event organizers, or simply anyone who wants to know where they’re going… and how many kilometers they’ll cover!

Over time, the site has grown thanks to user feedback. Today, it allows you to create, save, share, or print your routes — while staying true to its original purpose: keeping things simple and straightforward.

Creating this site was my way of combining passion, usefulness, and sharing. And I’m happy that it helps thousands of people every day. 😊

An incredibly useful and user-friendly tool for me.
It makes planning and tracking my routes so much easier.
Thank you for this resource!


Stephen wrote:
Hello Frederick,

You are right, you have to edit a map, then save the new copy.
The new route got a new ID and then you can delete the old route.

You can do that form the bottom of the page https://www.sportdistancecalculator.com/search.php by entering the route ID you want to delete.

Hello Stephen,
Thank you for this resource.
Could you clarify how to edit (and save), and how to delete?
My work-around was to edit a map, then save the new copy;
so I would like to delete the old copy.
I see in other comments you refer to the search page,
but cannot see how to proceed from there.

Hi Gareth,

Thanks for your message :-)

Il you speak about start & end marker, i had a option to hide them.
This option is available on top left of the map.

I really like your site and am enjoying using it to create GPX files which I can then analyse (I study the relationship between distance, gradient and walking time). But I find a small but irritating problem when I am creating a route, which I don't know how to solve. Sometimes the distance marker that is created when I click on a new waypoint sits on top of the next location that I want to choose - so I can't see the map underneath, or choose the location. Instead, I have to dodge to one side or another. Is there a way round this problem?

Thank you. You have done an excellent job.
Would it be possible to include the Km (or Mile) Markers as Waypoints when exporting the file? At present it shows the "milestones" on the map but does not then include them in the file to be exported. Thanks!

I added an option to show the coordinates of km or mile markers on the map, to see it you have to click on the marker. The coordinates are displayed in the info-bubble.

Hi,

I am importing a GPX file for a marathon route. Is there any way that I can use sportrouteplanner to either save a GPX with mile markers, or at least give me an option to display the co-ordinates on the mile markers in the main map?

Kind regards

Hi Reza,

Thanks for your message.
By default the topography calculation includes all the points of your route. But in case of many altitude variations or long distance, the result can be higher than in fact.
The "smoothing" allows you to choose to ignore the points which altitude difference is less than the chosen value (prevents small climbs and descents to be accumulated).
For short route the best value is 2m but for long route or route with hight elevation change, 10m is better.

Stephen

Reza Haidari wrote:
As others have stated, that this is a great resource and I thank you for building it! However, I have a question about the smoothing that can be applied to the altitude/topography calculator. I've noticed that choosing different levels of smoothing will greatly impact the results. So, the question becomes what is the right amount of smoothing? I think your calculator defaults to <2m. Is that the suggested smoothing level? When I imported a gpx cycling route I had, the difference between applying no smoothing and <2m smoothing resulted in a 300 m difference in elevation gain! Your insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John,

The file size limit is 40M, there must be other thing wrong with your file. Can you send me by mail your GPX file, i will check it and try to find a solution -> contact@sportrouteplanner.com

This is an awesome resource, thank you. I've successfully uploaded a gpx file from a 10k race and everything worth great. When I tried to load a gpx file from a Marathon, I receive an error once the file is 100% loaded. Is there a file size limit? It seems that all my files larger that 1.8MB result in the same error. Thank you. Again, I really appreciate the effort to generate this awesome tool.

Hi there,

I've been using the site recently to plans some new hikes in Australia and the topography computation feature doesn't seem to be working anymore: not getting any altitude computed, nor elevation profile.

Let me know if you need more details.
Excellent website though, Thanks!

Hi guys,

great app!

comments:
1. The hover div which indicates distance and altitiude when creating a route is on the right of the cursor, it really gets in the way. Fix that to the top right or somewhere else, it does not have to be linked to the pointer position.
2. https://www.sportdistancecalculator.com.com/index.php?id=15421#map
Check the distance in the map is different to the distance shown in the elevation profile: 39.08 km vs. 35.4km in the elevation profile

Hi Mitch,

The web server had crashed at the beginning of May, I had to replace it and few routes save between April 26 and May 3 were lost.
Your routes can actually be gone and I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I took the necessary steps to ensure it does not happen again in the future

Thank you for your trust & loyalty.

Hi paul,

Thanks for your feedback. The "off road" option works by clicking the left mouse button on the map, right click automatically follows the road network. You can alternate left click, right click on the same route as you need.

No use at all. Only shows routes a var could take. As I'm a jogger and would rather use an underpass or run along a foot path through the woods I was unable to work out my usual route. An 'off road' option might be good, giving an 'as the crow flies' point marker placer.

Hi Stephen,

Right after I've sent you the note below, everything worked fine, again... I don't know what could be the issue, but nothing changed on my systems... It looks like if a routine, like an add-on, was updated automatically, maybe directly by google or something like that. I don't know if this could happen...
Anyway, thank you again for your support.

Hi Eduardo,

Sorry it was so long to give you an answer, I was very busy.

Thank you for giving such a detailed description of your issue. But I did several tests on different PCs with Internet Explorer 6 and 7, I never managed to reproduce your problem.

I can only advise you to check your browser, upgrade it or test another one like Firefox.

Best regards,

Stephen,

Sorry for the long time to give you an answer. I was working really hard this last month and there was no time available even to have my daily runs...
The information you requested:
Browser:
Internet explorer version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_qfe.090804-1435CO
Operating System:
Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2

Detailed problem description:

When deleting parts of the route with the "Delete the last point" option, the map go to the coordinates before the last point, like if the last point was deleted, but the route's red line is not deleted. The distance information on the map last point is updated, but the previous one is not deleted, so the information is "doubled". Numbers are displayed over the previous numbers.

The other error is that when I click on any place on the map with the left mouse button, nothing happens. I use this option to make routes on the orange marked roads, as with the right button the decision is not to take those roads.

I thought that this could be an error on my notebook, but I have tried the same procedures on my daughter's desktop, and the behavior was the same. The configuration of the computer is near the same, except that she is using Explorer 7.

I hope I've described better the problem now. If this is not clear, please, let me know and I can send you an e-mail (provide me your e-mail address) with some screen shots to try to show in more detail the problem.

It is important to notice that these procedures used to work fine, at least until my last saved route that passed on an orange road(ID 732).

Thank you and best regards,

Eduardo David
