### Do I need to donate to use the website?
|
|
|
|
No.
|
|
The website is free to use and always will be (as long as it is financially sustainable).
|
|
However, donations are appreciated and help keep the website running.

### Why is this route chosen over that one? *Or* how can I add something to the map?
|
|
|
|
**gpx.studio** uses data from <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/" target="_blank">OpenStreetMap</a>, which is a collaborative project to create a free map of the world.
|
|
This means you can contribute to the map by adding or editing data on OpenStreetMap.
|
|
|
|
If you have never used OpenStreetMap before, here is how you can suggest changes:
|
|
1. Go to the location where you want to add or edit data on the <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/" target="_blank">map</a>.
|
|
2. Use the <button>Query features</button> tool on the right to inspect the existing data.
|
|
3. Right-click on the location and select <button>Add a note here</button>.
|
|
4. Explain what is incorrect or missing in the note and click <button>Add note</button> to submit it.
|
|
|
|
Someone more experienced with OpenStreetMap will then review your note and make the necessary changes.

### Why is the elevation profile for my GPX file empty?
|
|
|
|
If the elevation profile for your GPX file is empty, it means that the GPX file does not contain elevation data.
|
|
You can add elevation data to your GPX file by using <a href="https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/elevation" target="_blank">GPS Visualizer</a>. |
