What's New in FarOut

15.5

September 15, 2026

15.5: Search is here! The long-requested Search feature has arrived on iOS. Quickly find waypoints, routes, and trail names, or jump exactly where you need with tools like Go to Distance and Search by Coordinate. We’re also rolling out FarOut Pass, a new Unlimited subscriber perk that unlocks discounts at places along the trail. If you’re a subscriber, keep an eye out for trail service waypoints with a yellow ring to see what perks are available during your adventures. FarOut Pass is initially available on the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail. Finally, Settings and File Manager got a full redesign. It’s now more intuitive to control exactly what guides and guide data are stored on your device, and to switch offline maps on a guide-by-guide basis. Update today and take 15.5 for a spin on your next adventure! Fixes and improvements: - Updated app startup and lifecycle handling for iOS 27 - Redesigned onboarding for new users - Improved database performance and guide-data loading to reduce hangs - Fixes for offline maps loading/unloading with File Manager - Added optional descriptions when creating or editing custom routes - Added an option to show directional arrows along primary trails - Streamlined File Manager when downloading guides from the Store - Added a warning when Low Power Mode may affect GPS track recording - Fixed a crash when sending a check-in before account data was available - Fixed crashes caused by incomplete waypoint or route data - Improvements to comment filtering - Complete removal of Facebook SDK - New waypoint type - Clarified 'off trail' waypoints - Added concurrent downloads for offline map tilesets - Fixed a crash related to File Manager - Added the ability to set a downloaded basemap tile layer to inactive - Zoom & region in Map view is now persistent between app launches - Cancelling a waypoint pin during custom route creation no longer centers the remaining custom route

The best trail map… period

I’ve used FarOut for the last 3 years to section hike the AT, the Benton Mackaye, and the Pinhotti trails. I love the app and all the details. Highly recommended download!

Love

I love the details. Knowing the mileage and elevation for each day.

Doesn’t show trails leading to AT

As a section hiker, I don’t have the luxury of simply staying on the Appalachian Trail and getting off and on at towns. I need to be able to enter and exit the trail and find easy parking. So it’s often frustrating for me to use FarOut to find places to enter and exit the trail because it ONLY shows the AT. None of the trails that connect up with it. Also, there are several places that were dubbed “parking spots” and I was like “ummm with what? A plow truck!?!” So I have to give it 4 stars. Otherwise, I’m happy with the app.

😭 Downloaded guide

When I am out of service and spend what I did on a guide it should work. 3 days into my 80 mile river trip the downloaded guide stopped working. Nice when it actually works. WOULD NOT DEPEND ON. Especially if out of service.

good for PCT, not the Camino

Not so good for the Camino del Norte - directs you into a dangerous road walk heading into san vincente; both gronze and wise pilgrim are better alternatives
