Simply tap to set waypoints and watch your route come to life with instant distance and elevation feedback. Choose from running, hiking, biking, mountain biking, or straight-line routing modes to match your adventure. It's incredibly intuitive — no complex menus or confusing settings, just tap and plan.

OFFLINE MAPS, FOR REAL
Download detailed summer, winter, or satellite maps straight to your watch. Once saved, they're always available — no connection needed. Choose an entire area for general use, or download map sections around a route with a single tap.
CUSTOM GPX ROUTES, INSTANT SYNC
Import GPX files into the iPhone app and they sync instantly to your watch. Generate turn-by-turn directions for any imported route and navigate with voice guidance on Apple Watch. Toggle routes with a tap. Display multiple tracks at once. Routes include gradient colors (orange uphill, blue downhill) and direction arrows, so you can see steepness and direction at a glance.
BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS
Navigation on Apple Watch can be this smooth. Ultra-fast performance, sharp topography, shaded relief, satellite imagery, and winter ski trails — all optimized for Apple Watch and real-world conditions.

Need maps? Simple wrist maps without the Garmin price point
dwhitend93
Only 6 ratings?? This deserves way more attention. This is quietly living as one of the best hiking tools on the App Store. Anything else has more features than I actually need. I just need an easy reference map on my wrist that can help me check routes and plan new ones without being cumbersome and battery draining… somehow, this didn’t exist until this app! Thank you for making this. This turns my Apple Watch into a gps mapping machine, and kept me from spending excessive cash just to get a Garmin watch for maps. It fits perfectly in that “low battery use, long day hike” space that I needed it for.
Developer Response
Wow, thank you for the awesome review! 🙌 I’m really glad to hear the app’s working well for your hikes - that’s exactly what I built it for: clean, reliable, and battery-friendly mapping right on your wrist. If you think other hikers might enjoy it too, feel free to share it around. Thanks again for the support, and happy trails! ⛰️
Smooth route creation and topo map solution for the Apple Watch!
TrailWalker77
Really impressed by how fluid and straightforward the route creation and map browsing is with this app. I’ve found that the other topo map apps for the Apple Watch can be quite cumbersome (and expensive). Route navigation works very well on the watch once you’ve started your workout. Perfect for those that want to use the Apple Workout app but still want to follow a detailed route at the same time with turn by turn directions. Developer is super friendly and responsive as well! Looking forward to enjoying this app along with seeing where this app goes.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m really glad route creation and navigation have been working smoothly for you. Appreciate the support — and excited to keep improving the app!
Best offline maps app! Beats the most popular offline map apps imo
gggamer247
I’m ngl I expected this app to not work but this app has been better for offline maps for any use than Gaia maps or a lot of other apps. 10/10 app and I am now paying for the highest tier just to support this dev because this is a beautifully designed app. I love the simple ui and reliable functionality, it’s a shame this dev and app is not more popular than it is at the time of writing this review. Keep up the good work!!
Developer Response
As an indie dev, support like this means more than I can say. I’m really glad the UI and reliability are hitting the mark for you. If you ever get a natural chance to mention the app to fellow map nerds or outdoor friends, that kind of word of mouth helps a ton.Thanks again for the support!
Awesome app

The new 3.0 version!! Wow!! Man, you are rocking and rolling on these new features and updates! I remember you telling us several months ago a lot more features are coming and you held onto your word. I really appreciate it. I love this app.
