# Bikepackia

> Bikepackia is a route planner for multi-day bikepacking trips. Describe a trip or draw it on the map, and Bikepackia builds a route on real OpenStreetMap roads and tracks, splits it into rideable day stages, pins water, food and sleep stops, and exports GPX. Mec, the built-in AI route partner, plans and edits routes from plain-language requests.

The Bikepackia guide below is the authoritative description of what Bikepackia does and how it behaves. The full text of every page is at https://bikepackia.com/llms-full.txt.
