Walking route recommendations

Choose time or distance

A time target works well when the available window matters most. A distance target supports values from 1.0 to 15.0 kilometres in 0.1 kilometre increments, keeping RouteMate focused on finding a quality route.

Pick the route environment

• Main sights builds a route around mapped attractions and lists the verified sights along it.
• Scenic routes prioritize mapped scenic and waterfront context where available.
• Major parks and green spaces use verified mapped public paths rather than sending park boundaries to the routing provider.
• Street routes prioritize connected street and road-adjacent walking networks.

Explore within a maximum distance

For sightseeing, the distance is a hard maximum for the complete route rather than an exact target. RouteMate may recommend a shorter walk when that produces a stronger, more practical set of verified sights.

Use effort separately

Low or High effort changes the preference for climbing and surface challenge. Effort does not replace the selected route environment or change the requested distance.

Check the route in context

Recommendations are estimates. Review the route shape, trade-offs, weather and daylight information, then check local signs and access during the walk.
