Extension summary

Analyze keywords

On The Go Map is created by athletes for athletes to make it as easy as possible to plan and share workout routes. Map a route in no time, then create a permalink to send to friends, embed in a blog or website, export as GPX, or send to your phone to follow along by GPS.

Stores routes in Google Drive so changes are instantly synced between devices. Share routes with other Google Drive users to collaboratively edit in real-time.

Displays distance, elevation gain and profiles so you'll know exactly what you're in for before you head out.

Works great on small screens so you can view and edit routes on smartphones and tablets.

Author's note: Whenever I'm running or biking someplace new, I use On The Go Map to map my run or ride then create a permalink and send to my phone. While I'm out, I can pop open the link to see my location plotted on top of the route.

User reviews

It's a really good app but just to be clear about a few things: (1) There is no integration with Google Drive. The author had to rewrite it in 2018/2019 to move from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap and had to also remove the Google Drive integration at the same time. (2) You can't come back to a map and edit it. If you come back to a map via the 'share' URL then the map is read-only. You can't import a GPX. There's no other way to save and come back to a map. (3) This app in the Chrome app store doesn't add any functionality, other than letting you open the website in standalone window rather than in a browser tab. Other than the inability to save and edit a map it's a really nice application. I use it to measure the distance of runs and to create running routes for my Garmin.
