The problem is not “another fitness map SaaS.” The problem is GPX from the Brook Flashman /
ARMate iOS app: waypoints and hand-drawn path segments that should become new random routes in the
same dialect Flashman re-imports. PathForge stores that pool and generates shortest
(straight-line TSP, multi-start NN + 2-opt + Or-opt — default, known clean import),
walkable (same optimizer on the shortest-path closure of stored segments — real
previously traced ground), and explore (randomized POI-biased wander, not an
optimizer). Targets: point-count, distance, and/or duration at a fixed casual-walking pace.
Import drag-drop, picker, or clipboard. Generated routes save automatically: 1–4 stars, tags,
category, notes, bulk delete, Grid/Details. Personal-use: coordinates are a home neighbourhood —
login-gated, no unauthenticated API. No AI in v1. Leaflet + OSM tiles. Route Sources registry is
not a worldwide bulk import — gpxio.py rejects <trk> archives.
The pool is local. Worldwide PoGo farming GPX was proposed and is not built — those archives would pollute walkable/explore. Sources check GitHub file counts; they do not auto-import.
CSS mock — not Strava, not Google Maps Directions. shortest imports clean; walkable stays on drawn ground; explore wanders.
Not a throwaway blob. Rate, tag, filter, delete. Leaflet map is CDN tiles, no key.
GitHub re-check updates file_count; drift notes; discovery inserts needs_manual_review. Never auto-active_source.
No public coordinate API. Landing does not map your traces. Health stays cheap.
Will not parse king-owl style trk bulk. Will not mix world farms into local walkable graph. Will not call an LLM in v1.
Personal Flashman user who wants new loops from their own ink. Not a city-scale OSM router.
No invented turn-by-turn voice nav.
