What file formats does PitStopper support?

PitStopper supports GPX files from all major platforms including Komoot, Strava, Garmin Connect, Ride with GPS, and AllTrails. It also supports Garmin FIT files (activity and course files) with lossless round-trip export.

Can I find water sources along my bikepacking route?

Yes! PitStopper helps you discover water fountains, drinking water sources, refill stations, and other refill points along your route. Simply upload your GPX or FIT file and select the water category to see all available options.

Is PitStopper free to use?

Yes, PitStopper.net is completely free to use. There are no subscriptions, hidden fees, or premium features. All functionality is available to everyone.

How do I export my route with POIs?

After finding POIs along your route, export as GPX or Garmin FIT to download a file that includes all your selected points of interest as waypoints. FIT export preserves all original data. You can then import this enhanced route back into your GPS device or navigation app.

Language

Interface

Buttons, menus and instructions

Map labels

Place and street names on the map. "Local names" shows them as they are signposted, which is handy when you are following the road signs.

Theme

Auto follows whatever your device is set to.

Units

Applies to every distance and height shown, and to exports.

Elevation

Show elevation profile

Hide the elevation chart for faster loading on large routes (distances and exports always use full data)

Colour the profile by steepness

Shade each part of the elevation chart by how steep it is, so the hard sections stand out. Road hazards keep their own colour.

Importing

Show the import summary

The panel that appears after loading a file, with the route's stats, its climbs and a place to name the project. Turn it back on here if you dismissed it with "Don't show again".

Points of Interest

Detect multiple passes

On out-and-back routes, show each time you pass a POI with its own distance (a café at 20 km out is also at 80 km on the way back)

Preload POIs on route load

Quietly fetch all categories along the route a few seconds after it loads, so category ticks and radius changes are instant

Export

Waypoint distance warning (metres)

On export, warn about waypoints further than this from the track. Garmin Connect discards waypoints beyond ~40m.

Set when your trip starts or ends to see actual clock times at each POI along your route.
