What you can do
Draw by tapping the map
Each tap adds a point. Tap the line to add a point in between, drag a point to move it.
Know the climbs
The elevation profile shows how much you go up and down, so a hike has no surprises.
Real walking time
Distance and time come from the footpaths of the route, not a straight line.
Stops on the way
Add viewpoints, cafes and sights along the walk, with photos and opening hours.
GPX and KML
Download the walk for your watch or a hiking app, or open it in Google Maps.
Share it
Send the link or a PDF to the people you walk with.
Questions and answers
Can I plan a hike with it?
Yes. The route follows footpaths and trails mapped in OpenStreetMap. In remote areas, check the path on the map and carry an offline map too.
Which files can I download?
GPX, TCX, FIT and KML. GPX works with most bike computers and apps (Garmin, Wahoo, Komoot, Strava), KML opens in Google Earth and Google My Maps. Downloading files needs a free account. You can also open the route in Google Maps without an account.
Can I open a route I already have?
Yes. Use "Import a route file" on this page or in the menu. GPX, TCX, FIT and KML files open on the map as a route you can change, and files with several tracks or dates become several days.
Can I plan a city walk with sights?
Yes. Draw the walk, then add sights, cafes and restaurants near the route. Each stop shows photos and opening hours.
Is it free?
Yes. Drawing, the route, the elevation profile, sharing and the PDF are free and need no account. A free account keeps your routes and lets you download route files.
