How to create your first Digital Rally Roadbook?
Updated
This is a very simplified guide to get you started on how to create your own roadbook.

Multi-part series going through the steps of building a rally-style roadbook:
- You have to use Rally Navigator to create roadbooks and then upload them to RoadbookRally.com platform.
- Record a GPX Trace: Start by recording a GPX trace as a "base" for your roadbook. If you're familiar with the route you want to record, you can skip the next step.
- Draw Your Preliminary Route: Use tools like bikerouter.de and/or gpx.studio to sketch out your preliminary route. Once you've drawn it, load this route onto your favorite GPX navigation app.
- Ride the Route: Head out into nature and precisely ride the route you've planned. Use a phone or tablet with apps like OsmAnd, Locus Map, or similar to record the actual GPX trace of the route. *It's important not to use tripmaster or wheel sensors for recording, as digital roadbook apps rely on GPS data for distance calculations.
- Load Recorded GPX Trace: Take the recorded GPX trace and load it into Rally Navigator. From there, you can create your roadbook. Learn more in links and video below.
