The top bar

Last verified September 13, 2026

The top bar runs across the top of the web planner and holds everything about the route as a whole: its name and save status, undo and redo, the Route menu (start a new plan or open a saved one), the GPX menu (import or export), Share, Save route, and your account menu.

From left to right

Control	What it does

Route menu	Start a new plan, or open one of your saved routes.
GPX menu	Import a GPX file into the planner, or export the current route.

The Route menu open in the top bar, showing 'New plan' and a 'Your routes' list that reads 'No saved routes yet'. — The Route menu: start again, or reopen a saved route.

The GPX menu open in the top bar, showing two items: Import GPX and Export GPX. — The GPX menu: bring a track in, or take your route away.

You can plan, split and export without an account. Saving and sharing need you to sign in, and the two buttons say so until you do. Saved routes then appear in the Route menu and in the Bikepackia app.

Frequently asked questions

Why are Save and Share greyed out?

You're not signed in. Planning and GPX export work without an account, but saving a route and creating a share link need one.

Can I undo a change in the planner?

Yes. Use the undo and redo arrows in the top bar, or press Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z (Cmd+Z and Cmd+Shift+Z on a Mac).
