Can I plan a walking route for free?

Yes. Draw a route with points or freehand, adjust it and check the distance without an account. Export your plan as GPX, or return to drafts stored on this device.

Does the map show live path conditions?

No. Map coverage can be incomplete and conditions or access can change. Check local signs, closures and the relevant council or land manager’s advice before your walk.
