MapPlanner Explorer unlocks the full route planner: plan longer routes, use every map layer (satellite, OpenTopoMap, OS Maps, SwissTopo…), generate unlimited loops and reachable-zone isochrones, and export your routes as GPX, TCX or KML to your Garmin, Wahoo or Apple Watch. Everything you draw for free stays free — Explorer is for those who plan their outings seriously.
Go further with longer distances and unlimited loop and isochrone generation. Read the terrain in detail with categorized climbs, technical trail difficulty, surface breakdown and accurate elevation gain. Plan multi-day treks with automatic overnight stages, follow officially waymarked trails, and replay your route with an immersive 3D fly-over. When you're ready, export to your GPS watch or print a PDF roadbook, share unlimited routes, plan collaboratively with friends, and organize everything into route collections.
I planned a 5-mile running loop around my neighborhood in minutes. The distance and pace estimate were spot on for my morning run before work.
With the isochrone mode, I plan my hikes in no time! I instantly see how far I can go with my available time. GPS tracking keeps me on trail in the Rockies.
We prepared a 25-mile cycling loop with friends and exported the GPX track. Everyone followed the same route on their Garmin without getting lost. Perfect organization!
Before a hike in Shenandoah, I checked the elevation and duration. The route followed real trails, which saved me from unpleasant surprises. Very reliable!
I wanted an easy walk for my kids. I set a short max distance and MapPlanner helped me create the perfect loop. We had a wonderful family afternoon.
I love planning my outings in advance. I saved several routes for the weekends. It saves me so much time compared to figuring it out on the go.
By exploring the routes around my area, I discovered great trails I didn’t know about. MapPlanner opened new places for me to explore right in my backyard.
I keep track of my progress with the history feature. Comparing my running pace and distance over the months keeps me motivated and accountable.
For our MTB group ride, we created the route and sent the GPX to everyone. Nobody got separated — the whole group stayed together from start to finish.
I love taking photos while hiking. MapPlanner automatically places my pictures on the map. It’s awesome to review the route and share it with friends.
Depending on the activity, I switch the map style: topo for the mountains, street for the city, satellite to scout terrain. It makes route planning super intuitive.
MapPlanner now estimates my times based on my own pace. I know exactly how long my next run will take. Perfect for squeezing in a workout on a tight schedule.
