- Where do the waymarked routes come from?
- From OpenStreetMap: hiking, cycling and MTB routes as a map layer (Waymarked Trails) and as a list nearby, with length, time and elevation.
- Are there offline maps?
- Not yet. Maps load and are kept on the iPhone for a while.
- Can I plan and navigate routes?
- Yes. Tap points on the map; the route follows the paths, with distance, walking time and elevation. When following, there’s voice guidance, even with the screen off, and a way back if you go off route.
Data and privacy
- Where are my tours?
- On your iPhone and in Apple Health. Routes reads outdoor workouts with a route from any app and writes tours it records back.
- What goes to a server?
- Only what you share yourself: a tour, photos, comments. Never heart rate, energy or steps. The app also works without an account.
- How does Routes protect my home?
- A privacy zone around your home (200 m, 500 m or 1 km) is cut off shared tours on the iPhone; you can also hide the start and finish.
- Can I take my data with me?
- Yes. Import GPX files and whole folders, export every tour as GPX.
