Trace a route on the map, set its difficulty, surface and firmness, and save it — public for everyone or private just for you. Each route works like a lane of its own, with ratings, comments, photos and a GPX download.
Right-click anywhere to drop a pin and pick its type — parking, a gate, a ford, a viewpoint and more — each shown with its own icon on the map. Add a name and notes, keep it private or share it with everyone, and navigate straight to it.
Give a lane a star rating and a difficulty grade, from Easy to Severe. See the community average before you set off.
Every lane and route gets an elevation profile — total ascent, descent and the gradient before you commit.
Add photos to any lane — and geotagged shots drop as little thumbnails right where they were taken.
Share what a lane's really like — surface, gates, conditions. Reply to others and react with emoji.
Flag any comment as a review to write a lane up as a full trip report — with photos, likes and replies. Browse everyone's reviews in one place and jump straight to the lane.
Earn points for everything you add — naming lanes, comments, photos, ratings, routes and pins. The top ten contributors get a 🥇 beside their name; tap 🏆 to see where you rank.

Thousands of these tracks have no name at all. Be the first to name one and it's yours — shown to everyone who finds it, for good.
I'm Dan Bailey from Christchurch. After 12 years away from biking I bought a Himalayan 450 — and immediately went looking for byways to ride. I searched and searched the internet, and even when I did track a few down, actually navigating to them was a pain.
So Find Green Lanes was born. Now I can pick a byway, hit Navigate, and I'm taken straight to it in Google Maps. From there it grew into something more social — interactions between users, photos, messaging and much more.
It's early days, but it's coming together nicely.
