Always the same paths? Through detours, new routes through your city are shown to you: based on what you have not yet explored. Make every walk an adventure. With detours you discover your Environment completely new. Instead of taking you directly to your destination, the app deliberately leads you through new paths; so that you see more of your city. The app remembers where you have been and helps you avoid going twice as much as possible. The data is only stored on your device. If you wish, it can also be synchronized with your devices via the private cloud. ------- Discover your city piece by piece Look on the map which places you have already explored and how much of your city is still ahead of you. Every step brings you closer to 100%. ------- Navigation rethought - Find new ways to reach familiar goals - Avoid routes you have already walked - Let yourself be deliberately led "around the bend" ------- Your progress will be visible - Track how many percent of your city you have explored - See your paths as paths on the map - Build your own movement mosaic - Export your progress as a stylish map in png or pdf format.

Set yourself chosen goals and try to achieve them every day. If it doesn't work out sometimes, it's not bad. There are no annoying owls in this app that bother you every day. Exploration is the goal. Once you've tried it, it runs itself. ------- Import GPX data, individually or in bulk, create a bucket list from it and run it through stress-free. ------- Share your achievements directly with friends. After each tour, you will receive a stylish overview to share and motivate. ------- Download now and rediscover your city by taking detours.

Trails worth walking, with a voice that keeps you on them. TrailyMap finds hiking, running and cycling routes around you, shows what you will actually see along the way, and then guides you through them out loud — so you can look at the landscape instead of at your phone. FIND A ROUTE • Trails near you, sorted by distance, with length, ascent and estimated time • Filter by sport, difficulty and how far you are willing to go • Photos, surface breakdown and elevation profile before you commit • Landmarks along the trail, each in its real place on the map NAVIGATE BY VOICE • Spoken turn-by-turn directions in five languages • Guidance starts at your door, not at the trailhead — the walk there is part of the route • The map turns with you, so the path ahead always runs up the screen • Clear warning when the GPS signal drops, and when it comes back • If you leave the route, you see where you really are and the way back to it KEEP YOUR WALKS • Your track is recorded while you walk, screen on or off • Finish a route to save distance, time, ascent and pace to your profile • Add a rating, a note and photos to remember the day • Collect peaks, save favourites, group routes into collections BUILT FOR BEING OUTSIDE • Works in five languages: English, Russian, Spanish, German, French • Kilometres or miles, whichever you think in • Nothing about your route is shared with anyone PREMIUM TrailyMap is free to use. An optional subscription unlocks unlimited routes and offline use. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TrailyMap at none against Detour's 2. TrailyMap also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
