Simple & effective

Great app! 2nd time I've downloaded it and happily paid for the convenience it provides in travel time estimation. Clean simple interface, handy!

Useful for tour planning—climb or ski

I was skeptical at first…but I’ve become a believer! Great app and one that I use for work (mtn guiding), as well as days off and ski-touring/climbing with friends. Quick and easy app to help you estimate different legs of your tours. Input different terrain choices (skinning, scrambling, etc) and you’ll get a pretty good idea of your times. As I’ve used it more and more, it’s become more accurate—really great little app. I’ve heard he’s developing others, so I’ll snag those, too. Great app for a buck?! For sure!

Essential Tool

Just completed my Level 3 avalanche course and GuidePace was an essential tool for quick, efficient and accurate tour planning. By using GuidePace and Gaia GPS, you can speedily build a tour plan and calculate leg times. With this method, my two full-day tour plans were accurate to within 15 minutes of projected time. Great app!!!

Useful calculator

Clean, simple design with easy learning curve. Obviously all of the arithmetic is simple enough and can easily be done mentally/in your own spreadsheet but this app simplifies and saves steps, and I'm all for that! I encourage non-guides to experiment, test, and verify the given standard rates. Remember, using known times, known distances, and a little simple algebra you can find your own "personal munter coefficient".

AMGA Technical Director

Although these calculations are simple and straight forward Guides Pace is one of my go to apps while guiding. It allows me more time to focus on the myriad of guiding tasks on a day to day basis. A must have for any aspiring guide! Spend more time on client care, enjoying the day and not calculating!
