Go to devicesVirtual Routes from all around the World
The UniVET System software delivers an absolutely new dimension of indoor training on cycling trainers. Thanks to the integrated Google Earth© technology, you can train wherever you are in the world. You just find the required route through the spatial Google Earth© map© and choose the virtual view function. A complete overview of all available virtual routes can be found on the VirtualTraining.eu web portal. You can download your chosen route easily by means of the download manager directly in the UniVET System. If you want to create and add your own route you need only import the data from GPS or Polar, Suunto, Garmin sporttester (or other devices supporting GPX format) or create the route manually in the map.. Great strides are possible when viewing your synchronized route video in combination with satellite photos in almost incredible quality. In addition, you will also see your current possition on the route.
The UniVET System virtual routes are absolutely free of charge. They may contain synchronized route videos, interesting places, route information, etc. Each route has its own statistics of route records and passes. And if you like a route you can evaluate it and recommend it to other users...

Create your own Route
Virtual route editor is an important feature of the software. Via the editor, you can create your own route from your surroundings or from your favorite race, attach the synchronized video, include interesting places for others to enjoy or eventually add photos. Thereafter you only need upload the route to the VirtualTraining.eu portal and the route is available to everyone.
Real Life Videos
The UniVET System also supports virtual routes in Real Life Video (RLV) format
As opposed to our standard virtual routes which can be downloaded from VirtualTraining.euportal at no charge, the unique RLVs must be purchased through a testedinternet site. These fee-based routes have the advantage of an exclusive environment (including road classics, prime mountain routes, etc.), and maximum processing quality (usually distributed via DVD). We recommend copying your selected routes from the DVD to your local disc rather than launching routes directly from the DVD.
RLV routes cannot be shared with other users on the VirtualTraining.eu web portal, and cannot be used for online racing or training.
