Shareable routes

This would be very useful as we are throwing a 50km race later this summer and besides marking the course with strips these routes would be a great assurance that people won’t get lost in the Swedish woods. Since there is no tracking involved, runners will not have to fear for the battery life on their cellphones.

Such a great use-case! You can use LifeMap Live to show yourself on the map, but whenever you close the browser it’ll stop tracking you.

sharing the URL will be a good feature.

I do kind of like the local routes idea, though, especially for when traveling.

Yeah, great use-case for Routes attached to cities! It also reinforces my idea that some form of moderation/approval is needed to make sure the list doesn’t fill up with junk… That and/or some ability to find Routes that start within some distance of some place (via mouse click on the map?)
