What's new

What we shipped in the store and the map app, newest first. Most of it is free; the parts that come with Plus or Teams say so. RSS feed

  • Trip pages

    Publish a route as a web page, from a track in the app or a GPX file: the route on a map, distance, climb, walking time, your notes, and the maps someone needs for it. Unlisted unless you make it public.

  • Plan a trip: every map for an area
