Wikiloc 야외 길 안내 GPS 4+

Great App for Backpacking Trips!

I've used this app for three short backpacking trips and for my daily walks around town for exercise to track mileage. It really performs well. It's accurate and quick to respond. You can add waypoints with descriptions along the route and even photos along the way. You can share your saved trails with the world or keep them private. It works great, but I was still considering buying a dedicated GPS device because I wanted to be able to plan trips and plot routes before a trip. I just found out today that you can even do that with Wikiloc! You can draw your map out on your desktop and it gives you the milage and elevation along the route. After you save it, you can download it to your phone and follow the route. The phone battery runs down fast compared to one GPS unit that I read has a battery life of 12 hours. I can see a few areas that would make it easier to use, but it's an amazing app for the price! Well done Wikiloc.

Way better than AllTrails

It blows my mind that AllTrails charges so much for a premium membership, and are raking in such a profit from publicly available data. While AllTrails definitely has more recorded trails that Wikiloc, Wikiloc has a better user interface, more reasonable pricing for premium features, and is an all-around better product. I don’t doubt that given time Wikiloc will overtake AllTrails as the most used trail app on the App Store, as soon as people catch on and start to record more trails and flesh out Wikilocs’ maps more.

Good app except...

I got this because it pairs easily with my Suunto watch. I like all the features and everything works great. What I don’t like about it is that it automatically uploads EVERY ONE of my fitness activities from my Suunto to the Wikiloc app. Plus, all those activities are immediately public unless I move them to a private list. There’s no way to turn the automatic upload feature off once it is paired with my Suunto. If someone doesn’t realize that all their Suunto fitness activities are public, then if they begin an activity from their house, the public trail shows the entire planet where they live. They need to incorporate a button that either turns off the automatic upload from their device or turn off automatic public without having to create a non-public list. Either way, I’m considering deleting the app because I sometimes do 2 fitness activities per day and I don’t need all that on my Wikiloc app.

Edit: With iOS, there is no way to block or delete someone who is “following.” There is also no way to keep people from “following” you and your activities.

Thanks for your review, Alan. You can choose to upload all your trails from Suunto as private in your Settings page at wikiloc.com. Just disable the toggle "Upload your trails as public to your Wikiloc profile" in the Suunto section and then save the settings.
