RunningMap is 100% free. And for you, it always will be. Create your routes, explore freely. RunningMap is your companion for every journey — walking, running, cycling or driving. Today, RunningMap is entirely free — every feature, no limits, no ads. If the app ever moves to a subscription model to cover its running costs, it won't affect you. You downloaded the app from the start — everything will remain free for you. Forever. DRAW YOUR ROUTES Trace routes on the map with automatic path calculation. Combine routed and freehand segments. Import and export in GPX format. Generate suggested routes around your location or a point you choose on the map. Search for a destination, add stops and let the app guide you. FOUR MODES, ONE APP Switch from walking to running, cycling to driving in a single tap. Each mode automatically adapts the display, thresholds, camera and HealthKit activity type. REAL-TIME NAVIGATION Precise GPS tracking with turn-by-turn navigation and voice announcements. Alternative routes, automatic off-route detection and rerouting. Elevation profile, points of interest and a smooth map with speed-adaptive zoom. While driving: maneuver overlay, speed limits displayed along your entire route with audible alert and adjustable tolerance, average speed check zones, vigilance zones, live traffic and automatic rerouting when a faster route becomes available. And when you park, mark your vehicle's location — the app will walk you back to it. CYCLING The climbs of your route are detected automatically: while climbing, see the hill profile, your position, the live gradient, and get voice announcements at the bottom and the top. Before you leave: headwind or tailwind along the route and the share of your track on bike lanes. INTERVAL TRAINING Set up your interval sessions: 30/30, 1min/1min, 10×400m, pyramid or custom program. Real-time colored banner, voice announcements, haptic feedback and detailed phase-by-phase summary. GO FREESTYLE No route? Start a free recording.
