Getting started

Safari on iPhone and iPad

1. Open the Route My Showers app once after installing it.
2. Go to Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions > Route My Showers and turn it on.
3. In the same screen, set these websites to Allow: warmshowers.org, ridewithgps.com, komoot.com and strava.com.

Safari on Mac

1. Open the Route My Showers app once after installing it.
2. In Safari, go to Settings > Extensions and tick Route My Showers.
3. Allow it on warmshowers.org, ridewithgps.com, komoot.com and strava.com when Safari asks.

Chrome

Install it from the Chrome Web Store. It works right away on the Warmshowers map.

Using it

• On the Warmshowers Find a host map, tap the round route button in the bottom right.
• Copy a RideWithGPS, Komoot or Strava route link and tap Paste & add, or load a GPX file.
• Tap a host on the map: its card shows how far it is from your route and at which mile.
• The toolbar popup (Safari: the AA or puzzle-piece menu) switches miles/kilometers and distance markers.

No Warmshowers membership? Try it on the demo map with sample hosts.

Troubleshooting

The route button doesn't appear

It only shows on the Find a host map. Check that the extension is turned on and allowed on warmshowers.org (see Getting started), then reload the page.

"Looking for the map..." stays on

Pan or zoom the map once.

A route link won't load

• Make sure the extension is allowed on that route's website.
• Private RideWithGPS or Komoot routes need their share link (the one with privacy_code or share_token).
• Strava only lets signed-in users download routes. Sign in to strava.com in the same browser once.
• If a direct download fails, the extension opens the route page, imports it from there, and brings you back. Let it finish.
