Great app! I use it for Freeriding, Splittboard-Touring and Mountainbiking. Additionally I love the panorama function to get to know the mountains a little better. But here I'm missing a function to select peaks. It often doesn't shows automatically the peaks I'm interessted in.

It recently started having quite the problems loading the map, showing an icon indicating connection problems even in WiFi. The Route-Feature is very cool

The quality of the map material is exceptionally good. The App has guided me without any issues on many a tour. The offline map feature is invaluable. Thank you for enriching and safeguarding my alpine experience!

Beautiful and useful app! It's easy to find all kinds of trails and to draw a custom plan from your phone.

Faster than the old map. Biggest downside is the unreliable accessibility of downloaded maps and they seem to lack the highest resolution level in my case.

5 ★, on 2021-04-11
Stellar route planning app with excellent base maps and many path network overlays for summer and winter. Route creation and import are easy and well thought out.
