TIPS FOR MAPPING ROUTES • For longer routes, try zooming in and mapping your route in multiple segments. • Tap and hold the map to quickly route between waypoints and POIs. • Did Footpath snap to the wrong roads? Trace over the incorrect segment to edit, or use the eraser tool. • Turn off snap to roads (magnet icon) and zoom in to manually trace the map. (Try switching to a satellite layer). • Displaying maps and continuously running GPS in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Navigate without maps or with the screen off for all day battery life. CONTACT US We've got a lot planned for Footpath.

  • Great App

    I’ve been using Footpath for several years. Great way to map out adventure bike routes for my Garmin GPS. Also easy to use on the fly to make any desired changes along the way. So glad I stumbled across this and have shared it with many.
  • Pretty good route planning

    It’s missing a couple obvious features; the ability to reverse the route without replotting it completely is the biggest missing thing.
  • Totally worth it—make sure you download offline maps

    I do a lot of trail running but I’m cheap so I was wary to pay for this, but it’s worth it. Overall it’s a great app for planning ad hoc routes and getting turn by turn in your headphones. I’m away from home for a few months so training in unfamiliar territory and the app has been indispensable. I tap out a route to get the mileage right and manage elevation profile ahead of time, save it, and download the offline map and run with the directions in my headphones the next day. I love the ability to edit routes, upload maps from other platforms, etc. the turn by turn is 95% good. The warnings when getting off route are timely, but sometimes the stated direction for recovering seems unreliable—better to just open the map view if you have a shadow of doubt about getting back on the route. I have noticed distance discrepancy with this app vs AllTrails vs Apple Fitness when I’m on routes that have a lot of elevation changes. I often run all three apps out of curiosity. In one case AllTrails and Footpath estimates differed by more than 0.6 mi on a 10 mile trail run—Footpath usually seems to be the shorter estimate when I’ve noticed it.
  • Excellent Route Planner

    This app is the best when it comes to route planning and creation. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much health and fitness data was gathered during my activities using the Footpath app on my Apple Watch Ultra 2. More data then was acquired with other apps that were supposed to be more performance oriented. The only drawbacks I’ve found is you cannot share to Strava and there isn’t really a social aspect to the Footpath app. I use this app as primarily a planner, a place to keep my routes organized, and as a navigation tool. If I want my activity to be private then I record with Footpath (it’s quite good for that as well). If I’m going public and sharing to Strava I use WorkOutDoors. Excellent app! Thanks for the quality experience from Apple Watch to iPhone to IPad even!

    I’ve been using Footpath for over 10 years now. Mainly for planning running and hiking routes. And more than once it’s helped me find my way out of the woods when I got turned around. It’s the best app I’ve ever had on my phone. Thanks!
  • Best planner for runs

    I’ve been using it for years to map my runs even when I travel (US, Spain, Portugal). Love that it gives me the elevation and measurements are exact and always match my Nike run app.

    How do you end a hike?
  • Excellent for unmarked routes

    I use it primarily for MTB off trails. Ride once, import GPX from recorded bike run in Apple Watch, and then add my own waypoints so I know where to turn next time. Eyes on the single track, let the watch tell me where to go! Also switching to the map on the watch is great. Post review of effort on the iPhone is great. I’ve also used this on proper trails. Fantastic overall, great developer support - I ran into a snap that was fixed. Highly recommend to anyone for hiking or biking!
  • Great for Motorcycle Trip Planning

    I’ve used the full paid version of this app for several years now. It works so much better than all the others that I’ve tried. The only thing I would change is that it shows the time that the sun sets. I’d rather know the ETA.
  • Nice app!

    This app is exactly what I was looking for to track miles walked. It also helps identify trails and paths that I didn't know existed. It is simple and dependable. Just right.
