Where are all the gravel roads? Sherpa Map knows, and its free online tool will even help you pick the route with the best tail winds!
Looking for a free mapping service that loves gravel as much as you do? And has free AI route creation? And can help you steer clear of bad weather? Did I mention it’s free?
Sherpa-Map is an upstart from Eric Semianczuk and friends, and it’s a pure passion project. But they say it’s built on the same GraphHopper backend as RideWithGPS and Komoot. Then they add some fun features, the most exciting one being predictive gravel mapping. By applying AI to satellite imagery, Sherpa-Map figures out which roads are likely gravel or dirt, then lets you add an overlay to the map so you can route through as much as you can. You can even ask it to try to identify unknown surface types in areas you want to explore.
Their route creation tool is unique, too, letting you choose the distance and general direction, then having it generate some options. It cleverly color codes the route line to indicate elevation change, too. Check
