Frequently asked questions
What happens to the times?+
If the route carries timestamps the editor asks: keep segment durations from the new start, recompute the pace, or drop the times and export a clean route.
Are elevation and waypoints kept?+
Yes, the elevation profile and waypoints remain — just reordered to match the new direction.
Do I need an account?+
No. The editor is free and needs no sign-up. An uploaded GPX is kept for 24 hours; with a free account the route stays saved without expiry.
