== Display == Most people use a route mapping app or other service to display their drawing online and to share on social media. Popular apps include Strava, Map My Run, and Garmin. Many artists also import their route into [[Google Maps]], [[OpenStreetMap]], Viewranger, and other map services before capturing the image to display and share. This gives the artist the option of expanding and cropping the image, orienting it another way, or tilting the map to add perspective. Some artists use [[False color|false color maps]] with contrasting colors for their route to create vivid images. [[File:Heart MCR Run 2018 - By Nathan Rae.jpg|thumb|A GPS Drawing made to commemorate the victims of the Manchester Arena Bombing (Image:Nathan Rae).]] Artist Jeremy Wood often displays his drawings without a showing any map underneath. He is able to do this as the drawings are so detailed you can see the shape of the built environment or landscape in the lines. One work, "Traverse Me", maps out the [[University of Warwick]] campus and includes the map title, other text and images, a compass, scale, and date signature. It was made by walking 238 miles over 17 days.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Traverse Me |url=http://www.gpsdrawing.com/maps/traverse-me.html |access-date=January 1, 2021 |website=www.gpsdrawing.com}}</ref>
