How to Export GPX from AllTrails
If you discover a trail in AllTrails and want a better sense of how it actually unfolds through terrain, exporting the GPX into RoutePOV is a useful next step.
The export itself is simple. The real value comes after export, when the route can be previewed in 3D before a hike, trail run, or recon day.

Why preview an AllTrails GPX in RoutePOV
AllTrails is great for trail discovery and community information. RoutePOV adds a different layer by helping you inspect the route sequence in terrain before you are physically on it.
That helps with route familiarity, climb timing, pacing, and deciding whether a route matches the day you actually want to have.
Good use cases for hikers and runners
Trail runners can use the preview to understand route rhythm and where the hardest efforts land. Hikers can use it to preview long climbs, route transitions, and more consequential sections before departure.
The workflow is especially strong when the trail is unfamiliar and route knowledge matters more than just having a map.
