How to Export GPX from Ride with GPS
Ride with GPS is widely used for building detailed cycling routes. Exporting the route as GPX lets you add a separate terrain-preview step before the ride.
RoutePOV is useful after the route is planned because it helps you understand the sequence of climbs, descents, turns, and terrain context rather than only the map line.

Why preview before a ride
Cycling preparation is not only about total distance. Route rhythm, climb placement, exposed descents, and late-route fatigue all change how the day feels.
A 3D GPX preview gives you a better sense of when the route gets hard and where it relaxes, which can help with pacing, nutrition, and expectations.
Best Ride with GPS routes for RoutePOV
Use this workflow for unfamiliar road rides, gravel loops, gran fondos, multi-day bikepacking routes, and event recon.
If a route has meaningful elevation or unfamiliar terrain, previewing it before the ride is more useful than relying on the elevation chart alone.
