Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Open the Loamcast map and upload a standard GPX track or route for section-by-section analysis. The first analysis does not require an account, API key, partner access, or a Strava connection. An account is only needed to save and monitor routes or receive email alerts. Public upload limits and supported-territory checks still apply.

Loamcast currently reports 81 runtime-ready territories across Europe and the contiguous United States. Check the live coverage table before relying on a specific territory.

No. Runtime-ready means the route dataset can be queried. Czechia is the active locally calibrated market; other territories remain beta while field validation and regional calibration expand.

No. Route analysis availability, public condition-page readiness, and search publication are separate controls. Loamcast publishes countries gradually after recorded weather history and indexability checks pass.

No. Scores are model estimates built from available route, terrain, soil, hydrology, land-cover, and weather signals. Recorded history means a model result stored for that date, not a physical inspection.

Surface tags, slope, drainage, canopy, soil context, weather-cell assignment, and data confidence can differ between segments. Unknown or incomplete source data lowers confidence.

No. It is a planning signal, not a safety guarantee, access notice, closure service, or navigation system.
