Frequently Asked Questions

How do I import a GPX file?

Tap the "Pick GPX" button on the main screen and select your GPX file from your device. PreRun supports any standard GPX file from apps like Strava, Komoot, AllTrails, and more.

How does turn detection work?

PreRun automatically analyzes your route and identifies significant turns based on the angle of direction change. Turns are color-coded: Green (easy), Yellow (moderate), Orange (sharp), and Red (extreme/hairpin).

Can I customize the turn labels?

Yes! Tap the gear icon to open Settings. You can customize the left/right prefixes and all five severity labels to match your preferred style (rally notes, descriptive names, or your own system).

What's the difference between Google Maps and 3D Terrain modes?

Google Maps shows satellite imagery in 2D with detailed turn markers. 3D Terrain mode (Mapbox) provides an immersive flyover experience with realistic terrain elevation.

How do I edit or move a waypoint?

Tap any turn marker on the map to see edit options. You can edit the label, move the waypoint to a new location, or delete it.

Can I use PreRun offline?

Yes! Once you've loaded a GPX file and viewed the route, it's cached on your device. The flyover animation and all controls work offline. You just need internet to initially load the map tiles.

How do I export my route?

Tap the "Export GPX" button to save your route with all detected turns and custom labels as a new GPX file. You can then share it with teammates or import it into other apps.

Does PreRun work with Apple Watch or Garmin devices?

PreRun creates standard GPX files that can be imported into most GPS devices and apps, including Garmin watches. Direct device integration may come in future updates.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. PreRun processes everything locally on your device. We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your route data. See our Privacy Policy for details.

What GPX formats are supported?

PreRun supports standard GPX files with track points (trkpt). Most route planning apps export compatible files.
