Wegwiesel

Wegwiesel is a lean, ad-free route planner for cycling, hiking, running and driving. Plan tours, navigate offline, record your rides — no account, no tracking, no subscription. ONE PLANNER, MANY PROFILES • Cycling: road, gravel, trekking, MTB, e-bike • Hiking: easy, sporty, mountain — with SAC T1–T6 grading
• Running, car (130 km/h), car with trailer (80 km/h)

OFFLINE-FIRST
• Map tiles are cached automatically — anything you've looked at is available offline
• Offline maps menu to pre-download viewports (zoom 8–15)
• Real offline router with a pure-Dart A* core and trekking profile, clean fallback to BRouter
• Saved routes work fully without a network

LIVE NAVIGATION
• Phone turn-by-turn with spoken voice (German + English)
• Map heading-up or north-up, ETA shown as clock time
• Automatic re-routing when you drift more than 50 m off course
• Apple Watch companion: next turn, distance and remaining time on the watch face — phone stays in the pocket

RECORD YOUR RIDE
• GPS tracking with live stats (distance, speed, ascent, calories)
• Pause/resume, GPX export when done
• Crash-safe — every 10 points are flushed to disk
• Share your live position: 12-hour link, no account

HIKING & BIKEPACKING
