Creating and riding custom rides

Finishing all the suggested and shared rides in VZfit is just the beginning. With access to all of Google Street View data, you have millions of miles of road to explore. Whew! We better get started making custom rides, eh?

Creating a ride with Annotations

To create a ride with annotations, you'll want to follow the new steps on our website here:

Make sure to export the entire layer and rename both the Route and Notes accordingly.

Creating a ride without Annotations

1. Go to Google My Maps
2. Create a new map by clicking the button in the top left corner of the page.     
3. Search for a location you'd like to start riding and select 'Add driving or line route' from the icons under the search bar.               

4. Click on a starting point and start mapping out your route. The line will automatically find its way through streets, so add dots along the route to indicate your desired turns where appropriate. Once you start mapping out your route, you'll notice that a new layer has been added on the left. Double click when you've reached the end of your route.

5. When finished, click the 3-dots to the right of the 'Untitled map' on top of the layer box and click 'Export KML/KMZ'

6. Then select Entire Map , from the dropdown and check off the 'Export as KML...' box.

1. Then press Download
2. Once you have your file downloaded, head over to www.vzfit.com/create-ride, and press Choose File to upload your ride.
3. Enter a Ride Title in the field on 'Step 5' and click Upload Ride.

That's it! Your ride has been created.
