Draw a route without following roads

You choose every turn

Most navigation tools try to snap a route to known streets. That is helpful for driving directions, but awkward when the path crosses a park, follows a trail, loops around a field, uses a private event entrance, or simply does not exist in the road data.

GeoRoute.dev takes the direct approach: every click or tap adds one coordinate, and a straight segment connects it to the previous point. Add points at bends and turns to trace the shape you want. Tap an earlier numbered marker to connect the route back to that point and close a circuit.

When a non-snapping route is useful

• Walking and running paths through parks or open spaces
• Trail, paddling, and off-road route outlines
• Festival, parade, race, or campus circulation plans
• Property walks, work zones, and inspection loops
• Simple diagrams where the route shape matters more than directions

How many points should you add?

Use fewer points on long straight sections and add them closer together around curves. You can Undo the latest point as often as needed. There is no need to stack duplicate points at the end of a loop; selecting an existing marker closes it cleanly.

Manual drawing is intentionally literal. GeoRoute does not calculate whether a segment is walkable, drivable, legal, safe, or accessible. It also does not provide turn-by-turn navigation, distance, elevation, or offline maps. Check current local conditions before relying on any route in the real world.
