Otóż można sobie wygenerować trasę wycieczki po okolicy. Trasa jest trochę losowa, bo czasem używa szlaków w okolicy, a czasem nie. Można taką trasę wyedytować, podociągać w odpowiednie miejsca, gdzie nam pasuje, a potem wyeksportować do gpx. Pokaże się też lista ciekawych miejsc znajdujących się na trasie. Można suwaczkiem ustawić preferowaną długość, a także rodzaj trasy - czy piesza czy rowerowa.

There are many geological features in the panorama, can you find them in the maps?
