'Map My Portage' Helps You Digitally Plan Your Canoe Routes
Snapped a photo of my LatLong map for Killarney and easily mapped out a route. I appreciated the ability to Zoom in and out to plot route points.
Map My Portage is a new website that helps you plan your next canoe trip a little more diligently. Unfold your favourite tripping map and snap a photo of where you’re headed. Upload it to the website, tell it what the scale of the map is, and then start drawing out your route including both paddling and portage sections of your journey. It will break down for you daily summaries, including sharable coloured routes.
“I built this because I am the trip leader for my portage group, and every year I’d end up managing a mess of Google Drive folders, Excel sheets, and scattered messages just to share route plans and daily breakdowns. I wanted a simpler way to keep everything in one place — where you can plan your route, see travel times, and share a clean itinerary with your group including meal plan.
If you’ve got a trip in mind, I’d love for you to try it and let me know what works, what’s confusing, or what features you’d want added. This is very much a tool built by a paddler, for paddlers.
Thanks and happy planning!”
