What's New in WristTopo

7.1

September 12, 2026

• Routes can carry waypoints now. Mark the spots that matter on the way: a water source, a hut, the junction you always miss. Add them while you plan, or later by tapping the map of a saved route. If a GPX file already has waypoints, they come in with the route. You can change each one's icon and color, and they show up on your watch too. • On Apple Watch, waypoints are part of navigation now. The bubble under the map shows the next one and how far away it is, and as you get close you feel a tap and hear its name, the same way you do at a turn. If a route has fifty water sources on it, Waypoint Cues in Navigation settings lets you keep just the tap or turn them off. Your turn cues stay as they are. • There's a new Up Ahead screen on the watch while you navigate. It lists the waypoints you haven't reached yet, with the distance, time and climb to each one. The finish is always the last row, so you can see how much is left. Tap a row for more detail. • When you plan a route, tapping the map now opens a card instead of adding a point right away. You can see where the pin landed, then choose to extend the route to it, reroute a leg through it without moving your end point, or mark it as a waypoint. The points you shape a route with aren't announced during navigation anymore, so mark a spot as a waypoint if you want to hear about it. You can still undo anything. • Places and GPX work both ways now. A GPX file with nothing but waypoints goes straight into Places, and you can export your Places as GPX to take them anywhere else.

Better than Garmin

Love the app! Better and smoother than garmin!

Super app auf der Watch

Wirklich tolle App! Am liebsten hätte ich noch gern die Möglichkeit auch nur mit dem iPhone z.B. am Fahrradlenker zu navigieren. Also auch mal klassisch ohne zwingend die Watch zu verwenden. Dann wäre es für mich perfekt!

Endlich Topographische Karten auf der Watch

GPX-Route laden und beim Wandern einfach auf der Apple Watch sehen, ohne ständig das Handy aus der Tasche holen zu müssen.

Richtig gut sind vor allem die topografischen Karten. Endlich sieht man Wege und Gelände vernünftig direkt auf der Watch und kann sich unterwegs orientieren. Gerade beim Wandern ist das für mich ein echter Mehrwert.

Funktioniert unkompliziert und macht die Apple Watch für mich deutlich brauchbarer. Klare Empfehlung!

Must Have

I found this app while searching for something that was able to focus on putting maps on my AW Ultra 2 as I didn’t want to keep pulling out my phone and felt that the AW was being underutilized or even neglected by the other apps. I started with the early versions of this app and it has only gotten better with each iteration. The routing became easier, the gpx imports works flawlessly (so easy to take maps from free tier apps like AllTrails and just put them right in). Well worth the money for something designed around utilizing the AW to its full potential. Looking forward to new features!

Élue meilleure application de l’année 2026

Je ne poste jamais d’avis sur aucune application, mais là merci. J’étais à deux doigts d’acheter une garmin pour avoir la cartographie sur la montre. J’ai découvert cet application j’ai tout de suite acheter la licence à vie. La cartographie est incroyable. Continuez comme ça ! Vous avez tout mon soutien !
