## What is Route Companion?

Route Companion shows you what's ahead on every ride, run, and hike. Import a route or plan one from scratch, check conditions, find stops, and navigate with alerts, all centered on where you'll actually be.

WEATHER ALONG THE ROUTE
See hourly weather, wind, precipitation, AQI, and outfit guidance mapped to where you'll actually be on the route, before you leave and while you're out there.

FIND STOPS ON YOUR ROUTE
Search more than 20 stop types including water, cafes, bike shops, gas stations, shelters, camping, pharmacies, repair stations, and more directly on the route corridor. Auto-Mark spaces stops at set intervals; Quick Find jumps to the nearest match.

FUEL YOUR RIDE
Estimate carbs per hour, hydration, drink mix, and what to pack based on route distance, elevation, and weather conditions.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET
Glance at current conditions and a matched outfit recommendation right from your Home Screen in small, medium, or large sizes. Updates throughout the day and tap to open the full forecast.

IMPORT OR PLAN ANY ROUTE
Import GPX, TCX or FIT files, or pull routes from Strava, Komoot, and Ride with GPS. Plan from scratch with road, gravel, MTB, running, and hiking profiles.

NAVIGATE WITH ALERTS
Get notified as you approach stops. Keep the next stop visible on your iOS Lock Screen with Live Activity.

EXPORT TO YOUR DEVICES
Send course points directly to Garmin and Wahoo, or export GPX, TCX, and FIT for Garmin Connect, Hammerhead, and other apps.

PRO FEATURES
Pro unlocks weather, fuel planning, export, smart proximity/arrival alerts, and iOS Live Activity. Available as a monthly or yearly subscription.
