Gift for hikers
Their trail, from start to finish.
Hiking is about days, not minutes. Put the whole route on the wall — with the elevation profile and the kilometres that go with it.
One ride. Endless looks.
Different rides, each in its own palette, map style and elevation gradient.
Why this works
A hiking trail is a story with a line
For a hiker the value isn't in a time on the clock. It is about the route itself: where you started, how the landscape changed, which day was hardest. That makes a trek especially well suited to being shown — the line on the map is the story.
Think of the Camino, a national trail, a stretch of a GR route or a week in the Alps. Trails like that take weeks of preparation and stay with people for years. And usually nothing tangible remains except photos on a phone.
With Route Frame you turn the GPS file of the trek into a poster: the route on a map of your choice, the elevation profile below and the kilometres, climbing and duration alongside. Multi-day trails can be merged from separate stages into one continuous route, so the whole week fits on one poster.
Why it makes a great gift
For $4.20 you get the print-ready file of the whole trek, in the style you choose.
-
The whole trail in view
Even a ten-day route fits on one poster, with the full elevation profile.
-
Personal, not standard
Not an off-the-shelf map from a web shop, but exactly the route they walked.
-
Print it yourself
Small for the hallway or large for the living room — you choose size and frame.
Coming soon: broader packages and extra sizes.
How it works
From hiking route to poster
A hiking app, watch or route planner gives you a GPX file — that's all you need.
Which trek suits this?
Trails with enough story to hang on a wall.
-
The Camino
Santiago de Compostela or a stage of it — a trail people never forget.
-
A long-distance path
A national trail or GR route: hundreds of kilometres as a single line.
-
A multi-day march
Four days of walking, with every daily route merged into one whole.
-
A mountain or hut trek
A week in the Alps or Pyrenees, where the elevation profile tells the story.

Frequently asked questions
-
What do you give someone who hikes a lot?
Something about their trail rather than their kit. A poster of the route they walked is personal and stays up, whereas boots and poles have usually been chosen already.
-
Does it work for a multi-day trek?
Yes. You can merge separate GPX files of stages into one continuous route, so the whole trail fits on one poster with the total distance and elevation gain.
-
Where do I get the GPX file of a walk?
From the app or watch it was recorded with — Strava, Komoot, Garmin Connect and Wikiloc can all export a GPX. For well-known routes such as the Camino, GPX files are also available online.
-
Does the elevation profile of a mountain trek come out well?
Yes. The profile sits below the map, across the full length of the route. On mountain treks it is often the most recognisable part of the poster.
-
Will I receive a framed poster in the post?
No, you get the print-ready PDF file. You print it yourself or have it printed, at whatever size you want — and you can reprint it later at no extra cost.
-
Can I use someone else's route?
Yes, as long as you have the GPX file or the route is publicly available online. For a gift you don't need access to their account.

Opens the editor with a real 151 km ride through South Limburg. Everything is editable, and you can still upload your own GPX afterwards.
