Public GPX upload
Any visitor can upload a standard GPX track or route directly on the Loamcast map. The first analysis does not require an account, API key, partner approval, or a Strava connection.
Upload a GPX Route and Check Trail Conditions
Loamcast is a public, self-service GPX route condition checker. Upload a standard GPX file on the map to estimate dry, wet, muddy, and high-risk sections before a ride, run, or hike.
1. Choose a GPX file
Open the map, select Upload GPX, and choose a standard GPX track or route from your device. Public file-size, point-count, route-length, rate, and supported-territory limits apply.
2. Loamcast analyzes sections
The route is matched to available road and trail data. Loamcast evaluates smaller sections using available weather, surface, terrain, soil, hydrology, and land-cover context.
3. Review the result
The map shows estimated dry, wet, muddy, and high-risk sections, plus confidence, warnings, weather context, and explanations when the required evidence is available.
4. Save only if you want to
Creating an account is optional for the first analysis. Sign in only if you want to save and monitor routes or receive condition emails.
What the result means
Loamcast provides deterministic model estimates, not physical inspections, official closures, navigation instructions, or safety guarantees. Coverage and validation maturity vary by territory. When current weather cannot be verified, the result says so instead of presenting a terrain-only baseline as confirmed weather.
