About

Floateers turns the map into a grid of tiles — and every ride, run, walk or paddle collects the ones you cross. Watch your map fill up, plan routes through fresh tiles, and go get them. THE TILES • Red — tiles you have collected, from your outings and imports • Blue — tiles you plan to visit, claimed by the routes you sketch • Green — the frontier: uncollected tiles bordering yours, your natural next targets • Orange — tiles filled live during your current outing, with a buzz for every new one SEE Your collected and planned tiles on Google Maps, with every imported session's path and stats: distance, average and top speed, elevation, steepest gradient. Tap a session for its stats and a 10-second replay of the whole track at its real pace. PLAN Tap the map to sketch a route — it saves itself as you go and shows live how many new tiles it crosses. Drag points to refine it, and its tiles turn blue until you collect them. GO Record an outing and Floateers follows along, outlining your current tile and filling new ones orange as you cross them — including with the screen off and the phone in your pocket. Keep the map turned to your riding direction like a car nav, and when you stop, save the outing or discard it. Runs happily alongside the Floaty logger — and if you record in both, importing the Floaty session wins, so nothing is stored twice. IMPORT & EXPORT Import sessions from the Floaty app (GPX, JSON, CSV) or GPX/KML tracks from any other app — multiple files at once. Re-imports update instead of duplicating. Export any path as KML or GPX, share all sessions as one KML for Google My Maps or Earth, and move everything to a new phone with a single transfer file. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your tiles, outings and plans stay on your phone — nothing is uploaded anywhere. Inspired by the Floaty app, whose session exports Floateers imports — but it works on its own with any GPX or KML track. Not affiliated with Floaty or Google.

What's New in Floateers

1.1.2

August 24, 2026

Ready for this autumn's iOS update: we upgraded the app's map engine so the base map keeps rendering on the upcoming iOS. If you're on the iOS beta and saw an empty map with only tile outlines, this update fixes it. (Floateers now requires iOS 16.) Deleted rides land in a Bin now: restore or re-plan anything for up to a year, and every delete asks for confirmation first. Ride lists gained search and sorting (name, date, distance, tiles), and rides show their tile count at a glance. Planned rides open their details first instead of jumping straight into editing, and the route editor got a proper Cancel — accidental taps no longer stick. Make it yours: pick a unique nickname and add a bio and profile photo — that's the name friends see on your shared rides. Media keeps improving: uploads continue in the background even when you pocket the phone, photos go first so shares fill in fast, and a new "Media sync" reminder helps you attach photos to rides that arrived without them. Free, no ads, no tracking.
